137845, The thing is that while he's rejecting the label 'black music'

he is acknowledging that there are certain social forces that shape(d) the creation of the music and suggests that he is just as impacted by those forces as much as any black person.
Whether or not I agree that he is, what's important to me is that he is in essence admitting that there IS something like "black music" even though he chooses not to use the label himself.
