A similar thread (What Black artists get a White pass) has been done in the past.

Let's face it, in today's highly segmented musical landscape...

ROCK music is generally associated with White artists
RAP music is generally associated with Black artists
SALSA music is generally associated with Latin artists

...Although there are many exceptions, to think otherwise is simply naive.

That being said, there are many immature and musically unsophisticated posters that allow threads along these lines to devolve into pointless race wars instead of focusing on the music.

What is always been puzzling to me is why some people find it so difficult to just pass over threads (in general) that they may consider silly/inane/foolish/wasteful to them.

Seems like a case of too much idle Org time on the hands of either side (poster & reader).

i need something to complain about LOL.

i know i could focus my time on something creative like saving the world, but sometimes it's fun to take a break from that and do a lil old fashion complaining.

My opinion is, and for whatever reason, maybe I'm the only one...

is that it denotes one race being "superior" to another. Albeit, it seems harmless, but when I first read the title, I thought it was rude. shrug

Not enough to report it, but if it were the other way around, holy shit, it would be ugly!


i have to agree, to say you need a black pass or if you sing something other than rnb you are a sell out to me screams of saying our "Black culture" is better than your "white culture" and is racist.

and SOS if i posted what black artist gets a white pass would that fly?
