lol

From 1969.

If you were around then you would have a much more robust understanding of contemporary youth culture, and the diversity of their musical tastes.

Your life would have been enriched by The Temptations, The Miracles, The Four Tops, The Supremes, Martha and the Vandellas, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Marvin Gaye, and on and on. Oh, and none of them white.

You would have enjoyed dance halls and television shows populated by audiences comprised of blacks and whites, dancing and singing to the music they loved.

Today you must simultaneously believe we live in the most racist and misogynistic society that ever existed, and believe that it was somehow worse in the past

You literally picked all the nigger made pop. It's no different than billboard trash today. There were plenty of good white bands then.

Wrong. I didn’t list even 10% of the popular black R&B groups of the time. You have much to learn.

It's no different than billboard trash today.

Wrong. You are either woefully uninformed, or you lack the ability to discern.

There were plenty of good white bands then.

Correct. And there were even more than plenty great ones.

Yes, jazz in the 20's was the same way, but at the end of the day, everybody went back to their own kind.

Absolutely. Just as people have been doing since before the first music was ever made, and continuing right up until today.

I disagree there. Punk rock, metal and some other weird groups I listen to are probably what woke me up.

Rebellious music makes you look at something other than the mainstream and realize there is more than one option in life.

Anything that shakes up the mainstream is good in my book.

They're not all good things, don't get me wrong, but it opens one's mind to the fact that there's more to life than what you were told.

Reading the Satanic Bible is also one of the better things I've done I think too. People in church always said satan and satanism was bad, but they never knew anything about what a satanist was. So, I noticed the Satanic Bible by LaVey.

Again, opening my mind to more ways of thinking. Am I a Satanist now? Surely not. If you go review the tenets of Satanism though, you'll find that most Christians follow them pretty closely. Almost any mainstream brainwashed person does.

That was the best time.
