It's not about saying "I'm so proud to be black because Jimi Hendrix was a genius musician and he was Black"

it's about recognizing that there are certain sonic qualities that are unique to music made by black people and using that as a means of describing music that has these qualities.

Hate to sound like a broken record as I have been asking the question for years, but do the same people who object to the use of the term "black music" also have problems with, say, "Chinese food" or "Spanish guitar"?
