One Additional Thought

Being accused of being a racist is one thing you have to guard yourself against in so many circumstances. In my job, I am listening to a lot of music and putting different songs into different genres. I have one category that, not surprisingly, should appeal most to a black audience. Not for one minute did I think about naming this "Black" music. And "African-American" is just too bulky for a musical genre name. I've settled on calling it "Urban", which I think is racist in a way, in that not all Black individuals live in the city. But, it just seems more acceptable in our society. If that doesn't work, I'm going with "Groove & Funk". That is truly harmless, I'm pretty sure.
