[Edited 5/27/09 13:39pm] And blacks aren't? Give me a fuckin break. I've seen so many black people say openly racist things about white people and get away with it. There's a video on youtube where there is a black professor saying that we should kill all white people...there was no uproar against that. If some white person said that then all hell would break loose. The black dj calling miley a white bitch and getting away with it. I think to an extent black people are too defensive...and to an extent they have a right to be...same with white people are afraid to speak up against prejudice blacks because they have some false guilt about slavery. CORRECTION: No only did I (as a black male) complain about it, but I actually had a thread about it P&R years ago. | |

Also, I remember hearing that a lot of Japanese love r&b or what has been categorized as "Black music". I do have to say, Rap (hardcore) apparently is worldwide, as I've seen many young folks around the world from Ireland to Israel emulating black rappers. Seriously, R&B is big in the US but not really in other countries. That is not to say that there isn't a market, there is, it's just not a big one compared to other music genres. Very true!  Dance-pop is still king in the UK. A girl band like Girls Aloud can verify this. | |
