I like rock music and I recently had a group of people fuss at me and tell me that I was not acting black for listening to rock music. So I pointed out to them that Jimi Hendrix was Black and that Slash from Guns N Roses has a Black Nigerian Mother. They ignored what I said and continued to give me all kinds of hell.

I imagine these people were teenagers. They did it because they are ignorant of what rock music is. Why give them a second thought?

Ignorance! DUH.

I don’t get it either. Some people make it like Rock is predominately White music and Hip Hop is Predominately black music. I thought music was music and people like what they like or sing what they sing.

forget them who cares.

They’re ignorant. Where do they think rock came from? It came from Gospel, Folk music, Blues, Swing, and RB.
Without Black musicians, we would have no rock today.

Those are some close minded stupid people that should be ignored.
December 15th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
Because they have issues deep inside them.

They are retarded. Listen to what you want.
I am black and I listen to whatever sounds good to me.

Who knows, I guess they believe those stereotypes that ignorant people have created. I get made fun of by my dad and my sister for listening to alternative rock, but I really don’t care. I’ve never been interested in hip hop. Mostly I just don’t go for it because a lot of hip hop is not what it used to be. They aren’t real musicians anymore.

Ignorance is bliss. It’s a free country and you can listen to whatever you want.
BTW- Hootie is black too. I know lots of black people that listen to rock. The type of music you listen too doesn’t make you black or white. Hopefully, you’ve heard and appreciate RB but just prefer rock.
Be blessed
Barock the vote!

Music has nothing to do with race. If you like that kind of music, don’t worry about it. Enjoy what you like!
December 26th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
Yes i get that all the time because apparently according to some law im not aware of black people aren’t allowed to listen to rock music (sarcasm). It’s really annoying but just ignore it because they are going to continue to say it no matter what you say or do. Just be yourself it doesn’t matter what other people’s opinions are of. They don’t have to listen to it if they don’t want to!

The same reason that white kids get yelled at for liking Rap music. I’m a white rock musician who listens to a lot of rap in his free time and people give me **** about it all the time too.
