music radio : WHY DO BLACK PEOPLE HATE ROCK MUSIC? [+] serious ballot by OasisDesertStar created Mon May 15, 06 I, for one, love rock 'n' roll music, as well as R&B, classic soul and reggae. I also like a little bit of country, jazz, gospel, Middle Eastern music (the kind that belly dancers move to), Spanish guitar and Indian (sitar) music. Mine was a very music-minded household; my father (may God rest his soul) enjoyed classical music, Broadway show tunes, and a bit of easy listening music--I mean, he loved almost all kinds of music, from Frank Sinatra to the Grateful Dead; from show tunes like "Oh, Calcutta!" to Neil Diamond. However, he didn't care for the hard rock and heavy metal I loved to listen to sometimes, depending largely on my mood of the moment. And as for my mother, she was born and raised in the South, so she and her 8 siblings grew up mostly on country musicm with a little bit of gospel thrown in for good measure. For a long time, I've been dissed and bad-mouthed for my personal choices and tastes by my so-called "own people", though there had been a handful of others of my race who were into rock. On my turf, some of them gushed with praise for groups and artists like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, The Doors, KISS, Aerosmith...hey, just because WE like rock doesn't make us "Oreos". So, when I say "my people", I don't mean all blacks necessarily; "my people are those human beings dedicated to wiping out racism in all its ugly forms. Now, I'm waiting for your responses...why do YOU, any black person, hate what you like to call "white boys' noise"? I just don't get it. I just don't like it, it's not my style. I hate it because I just hate all whites. Many/Most Blacks like rock They like music with a primitive jungle beat Not all of them hate it Ballot #94248 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
