Phil, the Thabit's President street. You talked, I listened. A lot. Your kids were young. You loved your wife very much. Holes in your shoes, but you were committed. Saw you do 4 parts twice. Cecil, at your house in the slope many times, knew all your band members, moved you, bull****ted at the Schoenberg center. Okay, I was close, you were friends. Yeah, I'm forgettable. You guys are still geniuses, I work with the retarded. Water finds its own level.
Not a vegan right-track. Don't get me started there. I'm not one to wear clothing with slogans. If you want my opinion just ask me. I'm full of it, in many ways. So whatcha doin' now guys.

I guess one of the forgotten truths for the OP was that Rock and Roll was inclusive to all ethnic groups (and races) even when it began in the 50's. One anecdote that exemplifies that was when Chuck Berry was first heard on the radio some people thought he was a Country Singer and when Elvis was first heard on the radio some thought he was an African-American blues singer.

As time progressed and music taste and styles became more specialized, and Top 40 Radio was replaced by AOR radio by RnR listeners, fewer African American artist were in Rock catagory but that doesn't mean it was racist in anyway, because African Americans were involved in Soul, Funk, Disco, contemporary R&B, (and then later rap recordings.)

I've never saw from the point of view at least of the artist that the fact African American's contributed to Rock and Roll was ever lost or forgotten to them. Almost ever UK artist I've read about always brought up the fact that they were fans of R&B. The Beatles never thought of themselves as part of the British Invasion, they thought of themselves as causing the British Invasion, and as Paul said, The Beatles thought of themselves a a R&B band. I've heard Eric Clapton, Steve Crooper, Donald "Duck" Dunn, and Madonna Ciccone say they considered themselves as Black people - at least when they were young and starting out in the music business.
