As for N'SYNCH, Backstreet Boys, Brittany Spears, and Christina Aguilera, they all have Black choreographers. The lead singer for N'SYNCH grew up on Black culture. He wants his group to emulate New Edition and Boys to Men. Was Teena Marie trying to be Black? Pop music and pop culture always has appropriated African American sub-culture. After they catch on to what we have done for years, they sanitize to their cultural standards and sensitivities and lo and behold, Little Richard becomes Elvis and Pat Boone, Bo Diddley becomes the Rolling Stones, B.B. King becomes Eric Clapton, New Edition becomes New Kids on the Block, Brandy begets Brittany and Monica begets Cristina Aguilera. Fashion can be imitated, language comes from cultural interaction
(and white women watching Oprah). Because it is cool now to be ghetto, white people think that they are down. Every white kid under 15 listens to mostly Hip Hop, thats where they are picking up on the fashion, hair, language and culture. BUT I DO HATE TO BE PATRONIZED!!! Speak to me like you speak to eveyone else.
