Re: “Best Richmond Rock Band”

Proud people of Richmond Virginia,

I implore you all to come together and support this group and their great contributions to the music community. Cast aside issues of race and white privilege. The history of oppression in the United States of America has always stood in the way of greater things, such as a good fan base of educated and informed individuals that have experienced what it is to be treated like a lesser human being because of the color of their skin. Do not allow yourselves to distracted by your better angels, forgo the whispers that would stand against us daring to be a minority voice. How could anyone lend such opinions gravity when there are so many more of us that agree in unity that we enjoy the music that these noble worldly men perform? Let us cast aside such doubt that the band name “Black Girls” has offended anyone of color. And what would it matter if we have added just one more to the many daily reminders of how it is to be an oppressed person of color. In fact I have spoken to one of them and they have informed me that they have no problem with it at all. So there you have it.
