whatever, i see the real racist in you coming out ...

you have room to talk with that inflammatory comment abou what I dont know because of where I live.who cares what you think im not racist- we all have our own preconceived notions on race good or bad- I admit I am a bit prejudiced and that's me being honest with myself. white people not knowing how to dance is a generalized statement that Ive come to believe as fact (for me)

stay the course please.

girl do you listen to black music at all?

im not sure what you mean by 'black music', but at the moment i really into chilled out/groove stuff. of course i listen to rnb and hip hop and reggae (hard not to when the record companies and radio stations drum it into us), but for the most part, i like music with sensible lyrics made by people who are artistically inclined - and not simply 'pop icons'...i'm telling you, you should try some of the CDs i listed if you can.

Also Massive attack, morcheeba and bob are all black, and all make the music I like. I also listed the CDs that i like in their entirety and/or artists that make the type of music I like...for me beyonce, sean paul, kanye west, etc - dont exactly float my boat. they may sometimes to ok songs, but...well lets be honest, theyre not so talented...

Hmmmmmmmm! Well I must be white (shock) also,because all those names you just listed mean nothing to me except "kanye west" & the first time I heard of him was hurricane Katrina.

beyonce and sean paul do absolutely nothing for me you think i listen to the radio you are dead wrong- maybe my college station on sunday for the reggae show or jazz show through the day (on the internet) but i dont listen to top 10 radio at all. kanye west is pretty cool too cocky for me but he's pretty cool. why are you so high strung and self-righteous? you need to smoke a j calm down sister.
