Alex asked: I am a 21 year old black-African American man, and other black people make fun of me for listening to music that is not black or Urban music, like rap/hip-hop , r&b, gospel.
I do like Rap music, R&B and Gospel but that’s not all I listen to.
My cousin made fun of me for listening to CHR/Top 40 Hit Music radio stations, because they play white peoples music, like rock music.
Mom even made fun of me for listening to white music.
I like alternative rock music and some heavymetal rock. According to other black people like me they think I should not listen to white music.
It dont matter what nobody say I am me and I listen to whatever type of music I like, and they can just listen to what they like and call it a day.
Just because im black does not mean that I have to listen to all black music and all black radio stations that play black music.
I am not the only black person this has happened to, a lady called a local radio station here in Detroit, Michigan area that is a Top 40 radio station, and she said her friends all made fun of her for listening to that Top 40 - Hit Music radio station because she is black. The stations name is Channel 955 - http://www.channel955.com
Does it really matter what type of mussic you listen too if you are a certain race or ethnic group?
How come I am not suppose to listen to Top 40 radio stations just because i’m black.
