3. "I would definitely have to go with music." In response to Reply # 0
When there are social issues and when society needs healing from a traumatic event it has been music that has brought people closer. Music even though it has had it’s issues seems to heal the soul of most people no matter what the genre is.
Sports are great when your team wins. When the Cavs won the chip, all of NE Ohio came together. To me there are too many controlling factors in sports to bring people together. The whole kneeling/sitting for the flag has torn more people apart over bring people together. What the black athlete had to go through to get into the white arenas was more divisive than good.

But you can have 2 people who hate everything about each other but once they find out they love the same team? Smh... so weird.

it was something like a dude and some friends decided to try some crack on a lark (they were already semi heavy drug users) and the guy said after the first hit his first thought was "I wanna smoke all of this shit" and the second thought was "How do I get rid of all these people...so that I can smoke all of this shit?"

Since the age old R&B vs. Rock hard split in radio and record stores
There is still a ton of racial flocking within various genres of music
some people get UNCOMFORTABLE when you don't enjoy the music you're 'supposed' to. Look at you funny when you turn up at 'their' shows, say you're getting your pass revoked for listening to white people music etc.
Some music festivals like Coachella embracing Beyonce and Global Citizens featuring both rap and rock acts have unity in mind, but most scenes are pretty one dimensional, ethnically

I definitely think that if you’re talking about blacks going to rock shows or jazz shows, then I don’t think that you get those looks. Country music I kinda get. For white folks they attend everything... rap, r & b, jazz, and blues. They be mad comfortable at the concert. I saw this nonsense at a Roots show that had Dead Prez performing. They knew all of the lyrics.

Funny though... a few of my partners from the hood will listen to Jimi when I put it on.
