This week, I shall mostly be listening to music by African Americans. I'm extremely excited.

Those lyrics reminded me why whenever I try to listen to Crass, I always just end up giggling. |

That's the original concept of every new expression in music. Does freedom fuck with the funk? As much as the erosion of arts and music educational programs in underfunded schools where so many black children must go to school? As antidote to this sad fact, I recommend that next winter, when BET televises the Grambling versus Southern U. football game, you watch the halftime show. |

so by this demographical definition, would a collection which included mainly motown/stax/blue note artists be racist too?

is it racist if you only hate white people?
to me, that's not racism, that's just common sense. |

Would Madonna ever want to adopt another African child if she wasn't able to wipe the flies off his/her face? I doubt it. |
I've just listened to Gitogito Hustler, from Japan, again and I love them.
But they were on an American label, and played rock'n'roll; apart from the delivery of the lyrics, it's not that far from what I hear the most (US and UK), except that I like it a lot. So does it really count that they're Japanese? I'd add that I despised most French singers when I was younger, for I have an aversion for all that Parisian cliché (Pigalle + accordion and stuff). The sole French artists present in my discotheque don't sound like French to me (Phoenix, les Calamités). So I guess my group of records look a bit "racist" in that respect. |
I only recently got into hip-hop, prior to that the one non-white people in my record collection were Miles Davis and Jeff Parker from Tortoise.
Not that that was a deliberate decision haha, just every single alternative/indie band is white. |
