Why all the hostility? You do know it's 2008 don't you? It's not like it was in 1968. On your comment "if it wasnt for black producers and choreographers. If you dont like us stop stealing our style." You might want to check yourself! Who do you think those black choreographers and produvers learned from? You do know that some black bluesmen were influenced by white jazz musicians.....going all the way back to the early 1900's. Google it... check it out, might be a tough pill for you to swallow. Blacks and whites played together and barrowed and, or as you would say, 'Stole' whatever they could from each other. No one cared, it was just a mutual respect type of thing. Which is the way it should be. In fact whites and blacks formed bands together in the early 1900's for the pure joy of appreciating each others talent and to learn from each other. Instead of people whining about they're style being stole when it was never their's to be stole in the first place, Common man, dont be ignorant. Check yourself and do alittle homework. Black culture has made huge, huge contributions to the intertainment industry....just like whites have. People are going to always learn from each other and barrow or (Steal) as you put it. By the way BB Kings lead guitar player for years was a white man. You think BB King feels like someone is 'Stealing" from him? Actually BB's on record saying he hired the guy because he actually could learn some things from him at the time. In the end it's really not about one being better then the other. Many of us (blacks & whites) have evolved to the point of understanding it's not about that anymore. It's about getting along and learning whatever we can from each other. Ignorant comments like the one you made just sets race relations back instead of forward.
