First off, I didn’t intend to hurt anyone’s feelings and you’re right, this genre of music is not my favourite, in fact it is just the opposite of my favourite.

It was not an article as much as a response to the clip posted here, that song in particular. But even though it’s not my thing, it doesn’t prevent me from reacting positively when I like the sound of something other than what I usually listen to — and I like the sound if that song and the tenderness of it.

About the ignorance you accuse me of in the same order you put it:

1. It never occurred to me that having a good voice or physical abilities was something that anyone would take it as an insult — sorry, but that’s what it came out like from you. Where I am from, these are rare assets, most people covet them.
2. At your second point, you have to admit that the discriminatory fault seeping through is yours, at least concerning women. I am VERY well aware of how tough black women had it and still have it — much tougher than those from other races (it is here where I suggest we get into the history of it). They are the toughest, strongest breed of women EVER. I hope you don’t want to imply that ‘the negro does as he pleases' to the women-you put it in the same segment. The song wasn’t about the cotton fields — it was a love song.
3. You read me right, I’m not into rap, much less into the harsher subgenres. But I can see you are very much into it and, I can’t compete there, nor do I want to. You read too much into it. I never thought I would be able to inflame somebody so much about it.
4. Like you said: Peace!
