Older White Woman says "Not Black Enough"

Review Score: (6/10)
Unlike many reviewers, I'm not scared to say I'm lily-white. There is no reason in denying your heritage by pretending to be black or any other race. That said, if there is one thing I believe I know, it is black folks. I've sponsored several in my time, and feel I have contributed greatly to that sector of society. In my youth, I was a rarity: a white female participating in the civil rights movement along with many blacks. Now I see that good and bad comes out of everything, and the downside of our struggle against oppression is "artists" like Usher. His music tries to cut it both ways, and commercially he has suceeded in attracting a large non-black following. But it is at the expense of authenticity. You'd be far better off spending your money on a Marvin Gaye cd.
