Black Music is just an attempt to put Rap, Raggae, RnB n shit into one, it's not meant to be racist, Em's albums are there too lol. Maybe if you're not used to it it can be weird, I dunno. But the fact is that I've never heard someone bitching about that, and people like to pull the race card here too. I once asked a black girl what music she listens to, and she just said "black", no trippin mayne.

In the countries such as Spain where racism is a big issue, in all fairness to them, you can see why some people there have a hatred of African people. If you ever go there, the majority of the black people you see will be illegal immigrants from Africa selling bootleg and fake versions of clothing and stuff in the streets, most of whom it seems have very little knowledge of the Spanish language. For instance if you lived in an community in which the majority of people were black, and the only white people you saw were people selling illegal produce on the streets then I'm sure you will build up a similar distaste for these people. This is something that is taken for granted in places like the UK, France and of course in the US, because there is not just one image of black people that is portrayed to them, as they are more integrated into these societies, and therefore they are not just associated with a negative image.

You're still TOTALLY missing the point!!! You ARE making a generalisation.. you're just ignorant to it because you don't understand what you're being told BY "EUROPEANS".
Europe IS NOT the same all over.. there are MANY different countries, races, languages and culture.. all of varying wealth and levels of development.
its like me sayin "i went to north america and it was full of beaners" when i'd only been to mexico..
if he went to say.. (as was mentione by someone else) Spain and experienced racism then i wouldn't be surprised.. as for example they've been in trouble in soccer because they've been racial abusive to black english players who have travelled there..
not saying that racism doesnt exist in england either.. but to a far lesser extent than countries like spain.
What country/countires did your homie go to? and for godsake don't say europe...
