I know what you mean, I have some black friends who love rock and hate rap it's really annoying to them and me when people assume, I always hear about how people didn't like Hendrix for playing "white music" but really music doesn't have a race, all race is is a color, nothing else

it is assumed that all black people like rap because it is a genre that truely belongs to black people, it was started by black artists, and the majority of current rap music is made by black people. and most importantly, rap is a celebration of black heritage that emphasizes the importance of beats that come all the way from africa, and also poetry. the flaw in these people's reasoning could be that they think rock is a part of white people's heritage, which it's not, it is the result of combining all the music that was poular in america in the 40s and 50s, which included music from many different cultures. another flaw in reasoning might be that they assume that all black people want to celebrate their heritage in this way, which they don't.

Well, if you were to like rap just for being black, THAT would make you a poser. That is obviously a poser who is posing to be a person who calls other people posers. And they are obviously an idiot.

Because people stereotype all black people as people who listen to only rap. You're not a poser! Good for you! I hate most rap and hip-hop and pop 'cause they mostly rap or sing about sex, women, etc. and it's offensive and uneccesary. That kind of music seriously needs to jump off a cliff and DIE!!!! Rock will never die!!!! But I hope pop and rap do.

I've gotten that before too. People just naturally assume that "average" black people listen to rap and R&B. Some people are not as open minded and culturally diverse. So you kinda have to feel bad for people that arent exposed to lots of things.

KW's is right, but just to be devils advocate, with television and radio stations projecting images 24/7 it is hard not to think outside the box that is created. You have to break the mold.

Or even Sevendust or Killswitch Engage for that matter. What about Jimmy Hendrix! And don't even get me started on the history of Rock. Don't even listen to that girl, she doesn't know what she is talking about.

OK, my ex & I were just CO workers when I was giving him a ride home 1 day he literally ripped my Depeche Mode tape (this was '87) out of my kenwood and put in Metallica's "Ride the Lightning". We still laugh at that. He's black. He got beat up 3 times in 4 months in jail (for bad checks) by the black guys because he hung out with the whites. He still likes the harder heavier stuff. Hehas dealt with this all his life....It hasn't gotten easier. Good Luck!
