Nice term, if a bit clumsy Floffe Send a noteboard - 23/03/2010 11:10:34 AM
An annual awards over here in the UK. It means Music Of Black Origin.
I would assume that is what most people mean when they say black music. Not that white people don't enjoy it, or even play it but that the origin of that type is black culture. Same as one could say Indian music to mean music that is of a style recognised as being of Indian origin.

But it captures the point very well.

I don't think it's racist at all - 22/03/2010 07:15:55 PM 749 Views

Not "higher" nor "lower," but "different" would be the word to use here - 29/03/2010 07:46:15 PM 657 Views

My question for you was on that one line that Larry responded to. - 29/03/2010 08:46:26 PM 674 Views

i'd say the actions in the commercial are more racist than the words - 22/03/2010 10:00:02 PM 700 Views
It would not float here in the US - 22/03/2010 10:07:08 PM 711 Views
Agreed. - 23/03/2010 05:36:14 AM 862 Views
Could you please expand on one point in your reasoning? - 23/03/2010 07:20:31 AM 710 Views
It's not race specific music if it's enjoyed/performed/presented by various races. - 23/03/2010 07:32:33 AM 946 Views

The trouble lies in historical neuroses cooked in our melting pot, I think. - 23/03/2010 11:29:06 AM 706 Views
I suspect so as well - 23/03/2010 12:32:00 PM 797 Views
Well, the thing is, "American" is PURELY a culture, not a race. - 23/03/2010 01:55:59 PM 912 Views
That's part of what I was thinking - 23/03/2010 07:50:19 AM 1037 Views
Only if it's racist to mention the fact that different races exist. Which seems to be the US view. - 23/03/2010 09:24:23 AM 700 Views
Agreed - 23/03/2010 10:21:59 AM 726 Views
Not at all, the problem is when people seem to say something is exclusive to a given race. - 23/03/2010 11:51:06 AM 947 Views
I agree with some of what you say, but I think you're assuming more than is warranted. - 23/03/2010 02:33:34 PM 666 Views
perhaps not as default... - 23/03/2010 03:08:19 PM 733 Views
The term encompasses listeners, performers and presenters. - 23/03/2010 04:42:55 PM 753 Views
So it's really not about skin color any more, right? - 23/03/2010 09:12:20 PM 789 Views
it's racist and unacceptable. - 23/03/2010 09:07:10 PM 829 Views
