Actually, I take offense to anyone who believes that. I've met quite a few old conservative black people who don't like modern jazz or hip-hop/R&B...does that make them racist? Biased does <b>not</b> mean racist. It's all how we grow up and how our tastes mature/expand. Eff ANYONE who goes so far as to play the race card. Music is art and people are allowed to have different opinions. END. I tend to disagree that music is a “reflection of underlying social ideoologies and beliefs”.

I have a problem with people associating a artist who is Black with "Black" music. I think Merritt considered himself an agent provaceutuer(sic) by completing his list the way he did.
