Truth is, only 1 out of 10,000 of the people with actual talent that try to make it in Nashville, or the entertainment field, have any level of success at all. And those that do, face continued negative remarks and comments throughout whatever "career" they may establish. Most "normal" people are not willing to live like that. If one person's opinion was enough to send your friend packing, then they were right. She didn't have what it takes.

Excuse me, but you're sounding a bit racist yourself referring to white country singers as bitches. You need to do some research, dear, ever heard the name Charlie Pride? Cowboy Troy? Country music is not racist, it could simply be that your friend didn't have the singing qualities that they were looking for. To be honest, the reason you dont see many black country music artists nowadays is because almost every black person you see with talent is using it on R&B or rap.

... still kickin, but not in country. If nashville producers tell you to your face "A black woman will NEVER make it in country." the message is clear, CM is racist, they're protecting their own.

As a black opera singer, I could say the same thing. But I wont because not only would it make look angry and bitter, but i'd also be admitting defeat. And that is something that I simply will not do. There is racism everywhere. Before Eminem, how many white rappers were there? Not many. Yes, it sucks, what happened to your friend, but I'm sure that she's still truckin along:)

Look at there roxy show. Kirk Flecther is up on stage with them. they have had other well known people. Fred Eltringham from the Dixie Chicks played with them for awhile. Luke Bulla started with the Wreckers when they first came out.

...unfortunately, the wreckers don't control the CM business.

Exactly... "Who"?

Look up Rissi Palmer. I don't know the whole genre. Jessica and Michelle wouldn't even know how to think prejudice. Michelle is of asian decent also. Her grandmother is indonesian.

Country music is 100% racist people! You will NEVER see a black woman make it in country music. A black woman friend of mine went to Nashville and was told this to her face. She can out sing every white bitch in country music today. Racist all they way, don't support!
