Reminds me of a guy at TAMU. Black kid from a small, predominantly white, farming town. He was always listening to George Strait and such….until the brothas came around. Then he'd find the most obscene rap to put on that he could get his hands on. Not sure why that bothered me. He was a great dude, but was trying just a little too hard to maintain his black street cred.

I've known black dudes like that who've tried to put up a front around me

Just listen to what you will--I don't get the insecure act. I honestly get my love of country music from my dad and his side of the family, it's never been about trying to fit in to one group or another. But that may be a little of a maturity thing, too.

Hell, my little brother and I regularly swap Christian rock and dubstep selections back and forth on facebook for the world to see. Someone is always gonna look at you askance because of what you're rockin' to, but so what? Once my headphones are on, it's all over but the off-key singing for me
