No, and I didn't do that.

You did not indeed, CS, and I did not suggest you had. My comment was merely an observation and if you thought it referred to you then I apologise.

MtheGM

it is not a 'race' thing to suggest that one performer, no matter of what race, may be better then another, is it?

It is not, Michael, but I was remarking on the comment "white artists badly mimicking black artists" and pointing out that it could be construed as racist (please note that I also said "could well be for all I know") to say that a black artists perform better in some fields that white ones.

Suzy, I can understand how the two above comments were misinterpreted and I could have phrased them better but please note that I said "parents should take some responsibility here". How you get "all the responsibility censorship being laid at the parent's feet." out of that is beyond me. I agree that there is a social responsibility too, which is why I said 'some responsibility ' rather than 'all responsibility'. But also note that the prime responsibility must be with the parents. It would help if those who have nothing to do with my children, such as TV executives, would help a little but as far as my children are concerned, the buck stops here. Other people seem to abdicate all responsibility and blame everyone but themselves.

Cheers
