I'm not trying to fan any fires here, and I have ALWAYS been 100% colorblind. My mention of the race card, is how it is often used with no need .... much like cursing in movies and songs. For example: The newscaster may broadcast "A White police officer was shot by a Hispanic teen this afternoon .... etc" THIS is where I get sick to my stomach. The news SHOULD have said : "a man was shot this afternoon ... etc". I think we have to stop SAYING the words that offend each other, so we might have a chance to forget that there are so many injustices that won't seem to ever get better. I do not joke about race, and I do not ever discriminate based on color or background. I DO, however take issue with stupidity, like in the case of some of the crap being spoon-fed to the public by the media.
It just blows my mind, and saddens my heart that the N-word is still tossed around in almost every major HipHop release. "..er", "...ah" whatever - it's all the same, and it stinks.

This is my only defense of my comment - those of you who know me, know that I love and respect all people for who they are, and I will not engage any further. My apologies if anyone took personal offense. That was never my intent.

Back to keyboards ..... I'm having a ball with this 9000PRO - it's simple, elegant and built like a tank. It'll probably never leave the house, but I love having it in my rehearsal studio. Fits my style like a glove, now that I have the PA900 as my main axe.
