Troubadour: "In the UK, us white Anglos, sing songs of all sorts (including from your as yet to be civilised domain), with our White, Black, Brown, Asian, Eastern European and just about all other nationalities friends!"

Trouby-Babes, I was not referring to the UK, which is a lot different than here.......Over here, we have these 'Oh so concerned' bullshit artists', pretending to to champion the cause of African Americans.....by helping to keep them down...so that they, can go on pretending to give a damn, therefore deluding themselves as being useful!!!...True story..

..and BTW, the first musical group I was in, was 5 black singers(one lead, four back-up), a white drummer, and a white guitarists(me) and a white bass player....and NOBODY gave a shit about skin color...but we DID CARE about the music....we did a lot of Motown stuff...I was 16-17....and nobody was shot by any cops!!!.....and we all got along.
That being said, I grew up in L.A., which did not have quite the same racial oppression, as in the South..(Bobert Country).

Over here..and even IN here(Mudcat Forum), you have white 'folkies' who have probably never even had a black in their audiences(assuming that some of them even had audiences), nor in their group, stage, or even neighborhoods...pretending to give a shit...it's only political posturing.....here, you think I'm making this up???....Here's someone else's musical take on it, from the early '60's, before 'liberalism' was co-opted by the Democrat Party: From a REAL political protester, and social commentator ...... ....AND.... ..a more contemporary take on it.... READ his comments below the video!!!..........I'm not alone!
