I was getting more depressed as I was going through the 70s/80s music.. then I came across this..
Everyone thought Madonna was black until MTV
“IMO a lot of what we see in these black “reaction” videos is play acting meant to entertain white folks.”
True.
I remember when Rush played in Brazil, they were astonished how nuts the fans down there were for their music.
The guy they always played the most in Panama was Ted Nugent Live, Wang Dang Sweet Poon....
And that’s how I learned about Ted Nugent at 15.
I grew up around a large concentration of blacks, and their perception was that their music was always superior, they were the only group that can dance or sing, because the media and industry for decades have been making them the main part of American culture for decades. Especially, if you lived in an urban and cultural demographic that was mostly black.
As far as pop culture dancing and singing, many of their ethnicity have outstanding talent that helped the Civil Rights struggle in the 50s and 60s more than political actions did. It's also true of individuals in some of the finer arts, like gospel and chorale singing, opera, and well-produced dancing for stage and movies. The same excellent hair-trigger responses that make them exceptionally adept musicians, sports players and dancers are the upside of the hair-trigger violence responses by other individuals in the demographic.
Thank you for your observations.
Fake or ignorant - either way it’s embarrassing.
I am always saying, “I thought EVERYONE knew that one”.
What about Steve Perry?
I don’t know who Steve Perry is.
"I don’t know who Steve Perry is."
Is he a white guy who sounds black, or a black guy who sounds white?
Plenty of black people know that Jimmy is a nickname for James.
“Using Occam’s razor — maybe the black guy was just a dunderhead, and had nothing to do with culture?
Plenty of black people know that Jimmy is a nickname for James.”
That’s certainly possible. I live in an area with a LOT of black people. Many, many of the young blacks do not associate outside of their community, and these days you would be hard pressed to find many with normal American names.
But the liberal government schools told them that this could not happen.
And, Stayin’ Alive has the perfect tempo for CPR.
And if it’s someone you don’t like, you can use “Another one Bites the Dust” instead.
