Can you elaborate on when these things happen? When have you observed me to see black or American when it's convenient? I fail to see the influence of Africa. I do see the influence of black people - Americans then and now. Blues music is American. Where is the african influence? In what aspect of the music? The chord structure. The lyrics? Or perhaps suffering isn't uniquely 'African' after all? Jazz music is a construct of many forms of music, some black, some not, but you disagree. To you it's all rooted in black people which defies the truth. Regardless, the chord structure isn't black. They didn't invent it. That'd be European, but I fear this very important point about the 'roots' of these genres will be completely lost on you, right? |

You aren't actually saying that you think this "president" is bringing people together are you? Because if so, we are watching two entirely different spectacles. The only people this "president" has brought together is people who are protesting him and everything he says and does. And, this issue is not about TV ratings -- for anyone. Not the players, not the owners, not even the NFL. This is about people who are offended by the outrageous and slanderous comments of the "president". |

But, your assumption just shows you how ignorant mostly white people are about black culture. |

Would you suggest then that most black people are ignorant of white culture or is this a one-way street you're peddling down? |

We're not allowed to be. We go to school and learn about White culture everyday, all day.
