I mean that white corprate america took black music made it popular, and promoted almost exclusively white musicans! They tried the same shit with RAP, Vanilla Ice was the test subject, it did'nt work to well!

My mom almost got beat to death by 2 blacks kids and they wouldn't stop beating her even though they got the money because she was a "chink". They put them in jail and a month later they got released - great justice. My family had to close the business because it was too dangerous and my mom suffered severe head injuries and couldn't work
Everyday all the black people - the kids, the adults, the women, the elderly came into our shop and called my mom a chink and teased us.
I'm half white half korean (if you care).
NOW, consider these things and really think about everything you just said. It takes alot of courage for someone to go through what I did to still respect black people. My mom had suffered from head injuries for years because of that shit.
I went through shit FIRST-Penis EnlargementRSON. I have more knowledge about racism than you probably could even fathom. Don't try to bring up your dad to just prove a point. I lived in the fucking slums and 95% or more of blacks were racist there. They grabbed their balls in front of us to show their "masculinity" and they they acted superior because we weren't "hip hop".
9cyclops9 said:Nobody said that any genre belonged to anyone. And who cares if white people or black people listen to it. If you like a cretain type of music, listen to it! If I like jazz, you can't say that it's wrong for me to play it. Jazz is not "black people music." Nor is it "white people music." It is an American music. That's it. Who cares who plays it?
Yes, slaves invented blues. And from that came jazz in New Orleans. People started to like jazz. Note I said "people" and not "just blacks." So white people started playing it too. Black people also kept playing it, and most of the best jazz players in history have been black. Nobody tried to make it a white music. It's just good American music. That's all. Why does it matter if white people decide that they like music that black people invented? That's like me saying "Black people shouldn't be able to play classical music. It's just wrong." Do you see how racist that is?

z03 said:That argument really doesnt hold weight. No kind or form of racism that any other race has experienced comes even close to comparing to what blacks in america went through during and after slavery. Not only was this racism violent and hateful, but it was supported by the national government until around the 1960's. Slavery itself went on for 100s of years in the world. Some many horrible things happened as a result of slavery, thousands and thousands of blacks were routinely mutilated, raped, lynched, and treated as second class human beings for years and years and years. Now how hard do you think it is for black people to respect white people after all of that!? Blacks have been put severely behind economically and socially because of racism. This is what leads to us living in slums, doing drugs, eating fast food, and dealing with our frustration in a wrong and violent way with reverse racism and superior attitudes. Yeah, I didnt experience the lynchings and what not myself, but Im forced to deal with the aftermath and that is why we get and DESERVE the things that the government gives us. So before you start whining about how blacks think they are "cooler" than everybody consider all we have gone through to get to where we are today, and if we misuse or abuse what weve earned than that is wrong and im sorry, but before you hold us up as such horrible people, think about who you are what white America did even after slavery had ended and how that is the real root of the problem.
crazyed27 said:I agree with music invented in america as american music. Though what went on was the music industry completely disrespecting the black artist. It still going on today. Causing ill feelings with many black music lovers and musicans. The state of hip hop today, look at it, bling bling, hoes, hydro, and bank rolls. Escalades sittin on dubs, gucci, sex, guns. ect...The music industry has control of what goes out to the main stream. You will rarley find deep thought provoking hip hop on the mainstream. This hip hop does exist in the undergroud. The record companys contruibute to the negative image of the black man and woman, they find a young person with talent, throw money in there face and pretty much tell them this is your image if you don't want to do it you won't get paid, and here by the way sign on the dotted line...its been going on for years and years.
