I never said the R & B stations didn't play white artists.

You said the black station stopped playing that guy when they found out he was white. So that implies they don't play white artists. Maybe that happened on the radio station in your city, but not in other places.

You listing a bunch of artists, would be like someone listing, black artists that white stations played.

Not really, because it wasn't mentioned that white stations stopped playing someone when they found out they were black.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton
