4) black people DO NOT like/buy white music- you don't know much about current music trends or past ones despite your age...furthermore you did not completely comprehend my explanation for your purely visual enterpretation of Dylan's appeal to fans and his very small...if any marketing machine.

I have been to record shops over many years and I do not think that I have ever seen a black person looking at or buying an album by a white band/artist.- this is true...because no black person is seeking you out to. Bond over music and race. I gather many...like ligeia and myself are actually busy being people.

I suppose some may say that black people do not relate to or want to support white people as white people have often oppressed black people but white people can say the same against blacks (black crime against whites etc.) yet they can still obviously relate to and buy music by black bands and artists.- I addressed this hypocritical double standard before you even mentioned it again. When have "blacks"...oppressed "whites"? Crime and criminality are universal human adaptations and mechanism of a variety of factors...socioeconomic, political and genetic(pre disposition of men to rape women)...race is very much a social construct. Furthermore you british..were the main stock who've always painstakingly found issue with it over your other fair neighbors(spaniards not included)..is this why the french and belgians view brits as pervese, obese prone jackarses? See where constructs get us? Dude...get a grip. My very first musical influences at 3yrs of age were tchaikovsky, stevie knicks, miles davis, hugh masekela, charlie parker and TEARS FOR FEARS. Tastes evolve and are way more fluid than you can ever imagine. Furthermore...your profile says United Kingdom...funny..in a record store here you'd see John Mayer cd's being bought by 16yr old latino and afro latino kids...after hearing that wycleff jean loves his music.
Get a grip man, "black" people are humans...like "you".

Although Bob Dylan was involved in the Civil Rights movement and spoke up for black people I saw a film recently of a Bob Dylan concert and there didn't seem to be any black people in the audience. Do black people not like him then despite that he has been on their side?

You say that as if black people "owe" him something because he believed in what's right and just. Let's be real, Bob Dylan did not speak up for black people. He spoke up for what's right. It had nothing to do with his love and admiration for the black race.
