In reply to jlove.

This is America, where my great grandmother's mom was a slave. Not THAT long ago, I barely missed meeting her before she passed. To be stripped of our dignity until this very day (very subtle in comparison to slavery days aka psychological warfare) so hell yes we have pride in our people's success!!!

Now, to down the next successful artist just cuz they're non-black or just cause they're white I do disagree with. However, a white man's success and a black man's success are attained differently.
