Louis Armstrong, a native New Orleanian, a Jazz Legend, “The Best Trumpeter Ever” IMO!!!

@Jordan Sharpe what does any of that have to do with us willingly making a fool of ourselves culture and our ancestors? I'm convinced black people just like to blame everything on whites and oppression. Which they done a lot of evil. But some shit just is no excuse for.

Jordan Sharpe lol look at how blacks are today though.

[@GatsDomineaux]

Pops was feeling it lol

Who's the guy who's singing? The description mislabels the singer as Louis Armstrong.

Velma Middleton died while they were in Africa and she is buried there because you cannot bring back bodies from Africa... And a lot of people were really perturbed that Louis didn't try to bring her home when she died...
