Respect Music My Black People

Black people have a tendency to call Country, bluegrass, etc music ‘White Music’. Our ppl don’t realize it was originated by slaves through African beats. Take time to listen to an old Southern Gospel Church. That’s country music in a soulful format. Ppl always say, “Country music is about sad stories, like losing your wife.” That is true. Realize that it was the pain and suffering slaves had as they lost their loved ones, hearts and soul. We need to realize it took slaves to bring the African beats so we could have Country, blues, jazz, Hip-Hop, rock music etc.. Yes, it brought rock!!!! (Jimi Hendrix) Respect that!! So it’s not all about hip-hop. Recognize. Some songs carried messages ‘Follow the Drinking Gourd’ was a song the slaves used to direct slaves through the underground railroad into the north for freedom. (Kim and Reggie Harris has a great version of the song. Check iTunes. It’s “Follow the Drinking Gourd” by our past enslaved Ancestors performed by Kim & Reggie Harris. I LOVE MY BLACK RACE!! YOU ARE SUCH BEAUTIFUL CHRIST-LIKE ANGELS. My Respect to You…. and I’m off the mic… Funkface
