Does Rock Music Make People Racist? These Researchers Think So - San Francisco Music - All Shook Down

A new study from researchers at the University of Minnesota claims that listening to even just a few minutes of rock music like Bruce Springsteen or the White Stripes causes white people to favor their own race to the detriment of others.

Meanwhile, listening to Top 40 pop caused white subjects to treat all races equally, the study found....

'Rock music is generally associated with white Americans, so we believe it cues white listeners to think about their positive association with their own in-group," Heather LaMarre, an assistant professor of journalism and mass communication at the University of Minnesota, told British tabloid the Daily Mail.

Man, just when you think you have already heard the stupidest race baiting bullshit, then along comes things like this that just make you go, 'WTF?'

Evidently, the article is about Rock Music- not Rock and Roll.

Besides, neither exist nowadays.

That "study" was a stupid blanket generalization. It depends on the "type" of Rock Music and not "rock music" in general.

It does as much as rap does.

What, everything done by ACDC, lynyrd Skynyrd, Creedence, the Stones and Springstein just vanished into thin air?

Of course Rock and Roll still exists.

There just arent any young dudes today that can perform it anymore, I guess.
