But in music, country, classical and punk have not really affects blacks the way black-American music affects Asia, Europe, Africa and South America. Blacks have always preferred African music styles and have evolved them into new styles (like hip-hop, R&B, reggae, samba, etc.) that are now highly commercialized by the white-dominated electronic media. And when it comes to competition, black performers have had to compete against white performers who perform black music and who eventually ‘take over’ the white fans, e.g. Elvis Presley, Eminem, Backstreet Boys, ‘N’ Sync and Britney Spears. White male athletes who seek adoration from black (and white) fans have to earn it by coming up with the best athletic performances and careers.
Regarding ice hockey, unfortunately it’s a sport that few young black athletes have in their communities and schools, so they don’t see themselves making a living at it; consequently the black fan base and participation are small. And hey, don’t be so confused about more white kids having Michael Jordan posters than blacks kids having, say, Wayne Gretzky posters. The reason is simple: Jordan is cuter!
