Dumb A$$es

If whites followed that advice then black music sales would drop to nothing.

Not really.

Read about the Church of the East -- the Assyrian church (a.k.a. the Holy Church of the East) - in the 8th century this had more people and a wider population than the church in Europe.

The missionaries converted people and preached and pastored to people in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Iran, India, all the way to Mongolia and western China.

What happened to this? Islam -- Timur-e-Lang, the greatest jihadi warrior killed most -- he was a master of genocide, having killed 5% of the world's population (more than GEnghis khan, Stalin, Mao etc.)

The largest Christian group today is the Syriac Church

And the word of God today is by Christians of different ethnic backgrounds.

Talking about Europeans spreading Christianity worldwide -- the only ones who did this consistently were the Spanish and the Portuguese.

If the English, French and Dutch had even a fraction of the zeal of the Iberians, then much of the world would be Christian

Instead the Dutch did nothing, nothing to convert people -- preferring to just grab the wealth of Indonesia.

The French and English were slightly better in proselytisation, but still woefully behind the IBerians.

yes, this is stupid -- we could also say that since Rihanna is from Barbados, she comes from a completely different culture than African Americans -- Caribbean blacks are hard working and have a sense of separate culture.

So any person NOT of Caribbean origin should be banned from singing Rihanna songs

Christians as you put it, were killed off by Timur in that region. Hence, since then Europe has been the standard bearer, up until the early 20th Century.

I’m about to microagress by posting the chorus to Umbrella

[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I’d be here forever
Said I’ll always be a friend
Took an oath I’ma stick it out ‘til the end
Now that it’s raining more than ever
Know that we’ll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

I couldn’t figure out how to describe their singing “style” but you have done it for me.

They save up all the leftover letters and syllables they don't use when trying to speak English then add them to their singing.

I didn’t know what rihanna sounded like until I recently saw an awful kids cartoon movie about aliens. The movie was unbearable and I was not impressed with her singing.

Um, no.. in this age of newspeak, if you are a member of the “oppressed class”, you can co-opt any other culture’s norms and moors, but the inverse is not true (you cannot co-opt any other cultures’ anything if you are viewed as the traditional oppressor).

Having said that, there have been plenty of Caucasian people put into slavery and oppressed by plenty of other groups, so you have to be among the current crop of acceptable oppressed (newspeak strikes again).

And random bear attacks while snowboarding. Surprisingly, not even polar bear attacks.
