"Innovators of black music that the president cited included Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Lena Horne, Diana Ross and Ella Fitzgerald."
And may I add Lynda Randall (her version of "God on the Mountain" is awesome!) and Della Reese?

He is a president that openly acknowledges God. And the left can't stand it.

Which month do we celebrate Black Cooking? White Cooking? White Music?

I am not sure America celebrates whiteness per se. But we do celebrate Greek heritage, Irish heritage, Polish heritage, etc.
So if folks want to celebrate Black music, it is not an issue. The precedent has been set.

It's an issue with me. Celebrating anything based on skin color is divisive and racist.

Doesn't bother me at all. Black gospel music is actually a part of history that is positive.

The Blues Brothers Movie comes to mind. Great singing and music in the Church scene.

Yeah. The other thing that is so extraordinary is that most of the indigenous American music forms (folk, jazz, rock, blues) have their roots in Gospel. As you say, this part of history is positive and uplifting.

Black gospel can stand on the Capitol steps and sing "Our God is an Awesome God" every day and I would be happy. They could get away with it whereas White groups couldn't. God will use whatever avenue available.

And if no one remains to sing/speak His praises, the stones will cry out.
To: mariabush
You make my point. Thanks.

Take that, Dems! You all talk the talk but that's all.

Which month do we celebrate Black Cooking? I'll never ever forget my experience in planning a Black History Month celebration dinner while in the Navy. Old saying: "Only one person in the Navy ever did anything original. Everyone else just copied his work." So, of course, I looked at the menu from previous dinners.
Collard greens, hamhocks, etc. etc. This struck me as reinforcing racist stereotypes. Also, those aren't "black" foods... I grew up on that in Mississippi. Anyhow, I researched recipes that were truly African and Carribean in origin. Big thumbs down on that dinner.
The next year, I gave the people what they wanted. Fried chicken, ribs, greens, black-eyed peas, cornbread, and watermelon. Rave reviews.

I feel the same way. It's just a way to highlight the music. It brings attention and appreciation to the music. Nothing wrong with that, IMO.

Is there such a thing as "White Music?" And, if there is, when is it celebrated?
To: leadpenny
Nah, and if there was it wouldn't be worth listening to - lol.

Too bad the MSM chose to ignore this event.
JC Watts was an invited guest.
