All of these threads here about racism posted by the racists, of either color, are done to drive people apart. Their goal is to not allow black, brown, green, blue, white people to exist peacefully in a world where the color of your skin truly doesn't matter as dreamed by the great MLK.
Music I think is an area where we, who aren't racists, can begin building relationships with those of like mind, and even some of the fence sitters. I love going to blues clubs in New Orleans, and Louisville and while the crowds are usually black there are also white folks scattered around and we are there for a mutual love. Blues music. After the concerts many of us will then go out for a drink or a bite to eat and we will talk about the music.
The color of the musician never comes up. Only their skill level, or how moved a person was by the music etc. Recently i found some videos of hip hop people listening to old music and reacting to it. I found it quite interesting...
