I only saw one Harry Potter but saw all the Star Wars…couldn’t tell you one person in the top 10 music hits but can recite every line to every song sung at Woodstock…watched with tremendous pride all the presidetial speeches in my youth but now just covers my eyes and hopes George doesn’t say anything too stupid.

Have you ever been made fun of by people from your own race for listening to music made by another race?

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.
