Folks, think about it.
Has any Republican President, candidate, or legislator has openly met with black celebrities such as Kanye West and proclaimed a Black Music Month without being condescending or pandering?
Trump is chipping away at the black vote. If just 10-20% of them stay home or go back to their natural home of the GOP, it would be the death spiral for the Democrats.

Very funny. This is also flipping a finger to the June always being homo celebrating month.

Wait!Ragtime music needs to be included!!
Especially from Scott Joplin (18681917) (Maple Leaf Rag), the King of Ragtime (Brun "The Ragtime Kid" Campbell was his only white student). And from Arthur Marshall (Swipesy Cakewalk, w/ Joplin)(I heard him play it in 1960), James Scott (Hilarity Rag), Charles Johnson (Dill Pickles Rag), Scott Hayden (Something Doing), Louis Chauvin (Heliotrope Bouquet), Blind Boone (Southern Rag Medley No. 2), and many, many more.

We’re all a brown color. Some lighter and some darker. There are no white or black people.

I am ready, as ready as anybody can be
I am ready, ready as anybody can be
I am ready for you, I hope you ready for me
I got a axe-handled pistol on a graveyard frame
That shoot tombstone bullets, wearing balls and chain
I’m drinking TNT, I’m smoking dynamite
I hope some screwball start a fight

The musical ingenuity of talented African American artists laid the foundation for so many recognizable and cherished genres of music, including rock and roll, rhythm and blues, jazz, gospel, hip hop, and rap Zydeco, soul and funk. Compared to all the other respectable black genres, "hip hop, and rap" are not music at all, and will be rightfully flushed down the crapper of musical history. It's nothing more than the drug-addled anti-American rants of jabbering murderers, dealers and pimps.

Many years ago in Guitar Player magazine there was an article about a poll where people were asked who they thought the most significant black musicians were. Blacks who answered the poll mostly voted for traditionalists like Aretha Franklin. Whites who took the poll mostly voted for revolutionaries who invented new genres of music like Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix.
