I dont quite understand what you mean by American radio and its "racist programming", lets see, if I tune into an American rap station and all they play is rap, I must say..they are racist because they are not playing Swedish techno and some times I just wish they werent racist and played some Joel Mull or Adam Beyer tunes instead of playing that rap junk, I feel oppressed now! Not white enough!
