This current race thread was started by Moby. Specifically it was started by people who were trying to justify their dislike of his music by noting that he used the work of black artists in his hit songs, much like many others have in the past.
Picasso was heavily influenced by African masks, and cubism is heavily based on the ideas he saw in them. So is Picasso as evil and empty as Moby? If you don't like cubism or you don't like Moby, fine, but don't use the race of their artistic influences and muses to justify your dislike. Tosh
