Re-read my OP. I didn't say no other group can't party.

I was stating in case non-blacks hear the famous "I'm Black and I'm Proud" song from the 60's (?), just don't go getting all scared. You know how some of y'all are.

And you see nothing wrong in stereotyping what music black people listen to when they party? And you assume that the rest of us aren't familiar with that old James Brown song and would somehow find it "frightening"? Jaysus.
Lift every voice and sing, till earth and Heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.
Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet,
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered;
Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
God of our weary years, God of our silent tears,
Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who hast by Thy might, led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee.
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee.
Shadowed beneath Thy hand, may we forever stand,
True to our God, true to our native land.
It wasn't and that's your problem if you took it that way, so back atcha!
Back at what? That you somehow believe that taste in music follows segregation lines because YOU say it does?
And, yes, watch what the Dow does on Wednesday if Obama wins. Y'all have been turning blind eyes to the business prognostications but it won't make the reality go away.

Not sterotyping. I guarantee you some will be playing that song!

Yes, you guys are familiar with it but some of you will probably get all panicky. You can deny it all you want.
