In the case of conservative Pentecostals they would have the same objection to square dancing in the church and it does not come any more "white" than that!!!
I hate rap music because it is stupid. It has no tune or melody, etc, etc. Does that make me racist? I also hate Polka music. Does that make me anti German? What about Blue Grass? I don't like it. Does that make me anti Red Neck?

I'm not sayign they are racist (I said that in what you are responding to as well)...
I am saying that there are racial/cultural reasons for the objections... It isn't a part of old, white preacher's cultures so they object to it... It is a part of young mostly black black urban cultures, so those people like it...
and no those things don't make you racist, none of this makes you racist... Stating that an objection to something has racial undertones (really, cultural undertones but the cultures are split along racial lines) isn't saying people are racist....
The point is you don't have to like it, but you shouldn't object to something because you don't understand it...
