The point is their ignorance of history. And, the vast majority of country music fans in the 60’s proved they were wrong anyway.
To your point no profession needs more or less people of a particular skin color. What all professions needs are qualified people regardless of skin color. The barriers the virtue signaling, do-nothing, know-nothings believe exist were broken long ago. But, they buy the divisive lies they are sold by the DS.
If you know how to interpret the MSM portrayal of Charley Pride’s country music success it is very clear country music fans accepted him as a person, as a fellow human being. It was the wealthy Music Industry Executives with their low opinion of those of us they considered lower class who worried he wouldn’t be accepted.
Here that fact is in his own words:
“ One of the more surprising aspects about Pride’s rise to fame is how easily he was accepted by the Country music audience once they heard him sing. “People often say to me, ‘You must have had it hard,’ and when I say, ‘No, I didn’t,’ they give me that you-gotta-be-lying look. But there was never one iota hoot-call at any of my shows. The big problem early on was that [concert] promoters were reluctant or scared to book me,” says Pride. “But they finally came around.”
Do they mean it is different than why we hear very few white people sing Rythm and Blues or Soul music or Motown? Artists sing what is inside them, what they know and what their talent is suited for. It is the producing and marketing "system" of the music industry that categorizes the talent by race and culture.
This group would find racial disparity in a snow storm. Tired of it! There are plenty of awesome black musicians - their presence in the Jazz and Blues movement is why we have certain types of country music.

They are all about “inclusion” not about talent… abject retards…
Read the concept of "Marginal Utility"
This economic idea is why some people will make notes of various groups doing certain things.
DeFord Bailey, the First Country singer to be introduced on the GRAND OLE OPREY was a BLACK MAN. 1927. If that ain't country….

Saw Charlie Pride in concert at the San Diego County fair in '90 or '91. Really enjoyed that concert.
