I don't think this should be redirected to African-American music. Black people don't just live/make music in America! What about Brazil, the Caribbean nations, France, Britain and not least Africa itself? All of these and more have black musical culture that is totally distinct from that in the U.S. That said I'm not really sure where to start with the article. Anyone care to help? -- Lancevortex 19:24, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I found lots of comments of users (americans and canadians) who where shocked that in european countries they can find such term in use. I was really suprise to hear that because I know that lots of ppl of African (Afroamerican) origins use that term to describe their music and in my country it has any negative slant neither.— Preceding unsigned comment added by ThoughtProcess ( talk • contribs) 07:27, 24 June 2009
Yes, I do think the article as it’s currently worded is a bit odd/misleading… It uses the phrase “in the United States,” but doesn’t note that these genres—especially collectively—are almost never referred thusly within the U.S. Indeed, while black music is often explicitly called such in the UK, American charts and radio formats have consistently turned to euphemisms, such as R&B or urban. —

Yes, this is a racist term originally used by the US music industry to group all music made by African Americans into one category and minimize their contributions to modern music. Why would Tupac and Areatha Franklin be on the same music chart when they only have the same skin color. — Preceding

This article, put simply, shouldn't exist. It disparages its subject, it could be viewed as racist, and quite frankly it falls under the criteria for deletion as an attack page (G10). -- Ches (talk) 19:14, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

(the spamblacklist is blocking me from linking to that URL, clearly a false positive that I will try to fix). To be clear, I have no particular interest in the subject —
