It's not race specific music if it's enjoyed/performed/presented by various races.

The mere fact there's a version of the commercial with both a black and white radio host gives the lie to the idea of "black" music
This one, I don't quite follow.
Which I think is true of music in general; again, there may be cultural predispositions, but music doesn't come with a genotype. If it were strictly "black" music there are a lot of European countries where a jazz station wouldn't be economically viable.

Not "higher" nor "lower," but "different" would be the word to use here

My question for you was on that one line that Larry responded to.

She agrees with you about it not being racist - she had issues with your "crude" comment.

i'd say the actions in the commercial are more racist than the words

The trouble lies in historical neuroses cooked in our melting pot, I think.

Only if it's racist to mention the fact that different races exist. Which seems to be the US view.

Some people are like that, yes, but at least it isn't the "accepted" media position. Yet. *NM*

Not at all, the problem is when people seem to say something is exclusive to a given race.

I agree with some of what you say, but I think you're assuming more than is warranted.
