Black country singers: ‘We’re tolerated, not celebrated’

Despite their talent and contributions, black country singers often feel overlooked in the predominantly white country music industry. They are often met with tolerance rather than celebration, facing challenges and obstacles that their white counterparts may not experience.

Many black country singers have spoken out about the lack of representation and recognition in the genre. They are fighting against stereotypes and systemic barriers to make their voices heard and their music appreciated.

It is time for the country music industry to recognize and celebrate the diversity and talent of black country singers. They deserve to have their music promoted and their voices amplified, just like any other artist in the industry.

It is important for fans and industry professionals alike to support and uplift black country singers, to ensure that their contributions are not just tolerated, but celebrated within the country music community.
