Color in the Airwaves

George Michael does not sound black--he sounds good, and with a black music base behind him, he sounds even better. Sheena Easton does not sound black. Her voice is white, her music black.

Black people like good music, especially good party music, regardless of the race of the artist.

But being black myself, I am disturbed by the way blacks are reacting. If black artists can seek white listeners (blacks often feel they are not successful until the white folks like them), why can’t white artists seek black listeners?
