Hah.....
The thread starter has some good thoughts. Some really, fucking good points.
And some people here do not think things through objectively.
One thing though, is that "traditionally" certain races like certain kinds of music. I mean, that's not 100% true but you know what I mean.
I'm white and I like a lot of hip hop but shit, it doesn't do the same things for me that it would for a black dude. I hear the same words and hear the same beats but yeah, since we have different worlds, it's gonna be different. I'm still affected by hip hop, and it's enriching for me, but in different ways I suppose.
You could argue against that, but on what basis? I'm not racist, but there's no denying that different races exist; music can be enjoyed by all races yes, but it's gonna most likely be a different thing, usually.
