Why am I not surprised to see that comment....??? I hate to break it to people, but the "race card" isn't "a used up excuse" - its that the majority want to ignore and not talk about stuff when dealing with race issues... it still goes on, more in the background on a subtle level...
This is not a good thing... when something potentially volatile simmers for a long time, you run the chance of having a really nasty explosion... Laura's post isn't just relevent to the music - but society in general folks..... You can choose to ignore it, but there are those of us who have to live through it every day....
