Sadly, one of the harsh realities of the "music industry" is the simple and
undeniable fact that Black musicians were murdered more often than
their Caucasian counterparts...!? It may well be the case that here in the
21st century us "white folks" can increase our rate of murder to match
"visible minorities"...however, this is hardly an appropriate goal...?!

Rather than draw a politically incorrect and racist conclusion, I shall
leave that to other viewers of this message...!!
