Okay...is it just me or does anyone else find the name of this
thread insulting? I mean really...."Black" music?
Both HipHop and Rap music have huge followings...of all races. To label
it, "Black" music is rather racist...don't you think? Is Jazz also..."Black" music?
Rock n' Roll's origins is the Blues...does that make Rock "Black" music?
Personally I think music has no color...just sound. It's for everyone and anyone. I don't care whose playing it...it's what it sounds like to me. I prefer the heavier side of rock, but I can find music I love in any genre.
I'm sure some of you will think I'm being too sensitive to the title...but
I just think labeling things in this way deminishes it.
Just my opinion.
