No, sir. You said that black musicians devolve music to rap, yet I bet you never heard one full rap song. Ignorance means you lack knowledge of something, which was obviously what you was displaying in the post I was referring to.
I have heard rap/hip hop. I find *SOME* of the artists rather clever and intelligent.
The problem with rap/hip hop is the culture that dominates it. The culture that it creates.
But to say its not music is offensive to people who do listen to rap. We sample and pay homage to the ones who came before us including all the ones you mentioned. Even the fact that the person that Black MUSICIANS is a stereotype and offensive...
Sorry, but I don't quite follow your last sentence. Anyway, Motown was primarily a label for black recording artists. In my teen years, "Soul" music was black music. There were some artists that captured the sound that were not black such as The Rascals, Eric Burden, etc. but I do not find anything racist in acknowledging the distinct sound that personified Motown.

BTW...my lack of interest in Rap is easily explained. It just does not resonate with me. My music taste is very eclectic. Everything from Rock, Country, Classsical, Soul, Opera, Samba, African, New Age, etc. Rap just does not move me.
Is every man entitled to his opinion or is it racism?
It's a "black" awards show. So what? If it was an awards show for Italians, and Frank Sinatra said that Italians were the most talented, would people be as offended?
I agree. Blacks need to realize that statements like these are no longer acceptable. Unless Whites can say it also.
Bingo!!! You hit the point. Same for Asian and Hispanic. We are EQUAL, right? Any statement like the one by Jamie Foxx should be blasted as the unacceptable racist trash that it is.

I believe that black people are the most violent people on earth.
My opinion.
