I haven't read the entire thread, but I will say that as one of the few (?) black people on this board, I am suprised at how much racial tension is present in a music culture where PLUR is supposed to be the common bond. WTF? I usually post in the New York section unless I'm visiting MIA (when I came down you all were AWESOME - thanks, Lola! ), and even in that forum people throw slurs around. I don't care because it DOES only display their ignorance and if anything, I'm mildly amused. Fuck 'em!! Never will I let some keyboard gangster upset me. The entire WORLD is all fucked up! Russian rebels and shit, niggas out sniping muhfuckas (LOL), nightclubs exploding, and let's not even go back to last September. Suppose that happened to one of the clubs in the US, like Space, Exit or Arc? Would it matter then what nationality the music-lovers were that you may have just been standing next to? Or saved your damn life? Christ, all I want is to hear and talk about good music and good times! Can't we all just get along? What's wrong with y'all niggas?
