And most here I’m sure love the sounds of Motown, Philly, numerous Black Doo Wop groups, Sam Cooke, etc, etc. So it’s not a Black vs White thing. It’s good vs garbage. Most older Blacks would agree. They hate Rap too.
I'm tired of the words race and racist and having it injected into every aspect of life, even when it has no bearing on the subject at hand. There are people of talent and no talent, white and black.
Half of the time back in the 50's and 60's we never knew if the performers were black or white when we heard a song we liked. Not to mention the mixed race groups.
A few years ago I worked with a black woman in her 40's who listened to nothing but rap. I finally convinced her to listen to some of what she called "old white" music. I gave her some Ray Charles, Platters, Shirelles, Fats Domino, Hank Ballard & The Midnighters, etc. and she went crazy over it. She had heard of some of them but never bothered to actually listen to their music.
I told her some of their history and the history of their music and she was amazed that I knew more about black performers than she did. She got so interested she started to read about them and listen to the music regularly.
