What was the thing about a lot of people dying??? Before the part about Marvin Gaye dying? It was #6…

Betty Mae Bop asked:


It especially ticks me off when blacks call rock “white” music because you should know your own history darn it!
Gospel and country have black roots too, genius. And the banjo is a black instrument.
It just ticks me off when certain blacks (not all thank God) say I’m trying to be white because I like music that isn’t hip-hop. Like I said I like blues, rock, country and spirituals, but I also love old-school jazz, swing, boogie, and soul. So what these idiots are telling me as that I’m being white for listening to black music. Morons.
