You know what's ironic about white peoples' bias against R&B? It's that it actually discriminates against white people too.
For example, Teena Marie. It is incredibly unlikely she will ever make it into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame. And this is despite the fact, that when I hear her, she sounds like a rock star.
The reason she'll never get due credit is because she was never popular with white audiences. Most white people don't even know who she is. However, she was huge amongst Black folk.
