Ask your older family members… Sammy was… problematic.

There was a stage when black ppl did not rock with this brother .

I believe Summer of Soul touched on this a bit

Yes. Sammy's life, from the very beginning, was a long and complicated trauma filled experience. In particular when he was younger. To simplify his existence down to the word "c00n" is to do a disservice to what he went through. Many of those things were inflicted on him, but many of them were also choices that he made because of what he went through. Wrong choices. Bad ones. Stupid ones.

He made several mistakes, probably had more than a few ideologies that most wouldn't agree with, but overall he didn't appear to be a simple "c00n" or sellout in the way those words are harmfully used.

Everywhere he went, he sought acceptance. Black spaces, white spaces. And everywhere he went he was mistreated, taken advantage of, and then ridiculed by the people he wanted acceptance from. Including his own family who robbed him. And his own family, for who he turned down money and access, to keep them around and keep them working for as long as possible.

Instead of simply labelling him a "c00n", he was more like a flip-flopping clout chaser who couldn't read the room and was always a few steps behind the zeitgeist, so when he flipped and flopped it always looked out of touch, corny and was always the wrong move or the right move made too late.

Above the fray.
None of us knew what it was like living in that era. We don't have the right to even fix our mouths to say this.

Sammy's life was extremely complicated and nuanced.

Yep
Dudes who cant separate themselves from open racist elon muskkk's platform, have the nerve to throw slurs around about a child performing a routine he was taught by adults.
