It's not a black or white thing, it's about relevancy in today's market. No one is really celebrated on their body of work anymore. It's about capturing a hit single that appeals to the millennials and the gereation Y. They are the most influential generations at the moment. If it were a race thing then why would Rihanna, Drake, Lil Wayne, Nicki & Future be breaking billboard & streaming records? It's the appeal of their music, persona & overall brand. Mary was that in her prime, but limited to a genre/audience now. It doesn't take away from the quality of music, just of the reality we live in today.
