So it's a difference still.
White artist who release that kind of music are played on urban stations. Robin Thicke is played on urban stations constantly. So where are you coming from??

Robin Thicke is always the example people use. It's grossly unfair that JoJo's new song isn't getting played on urban radio, whilst I saw Where Have You Been in the top 50 on mediabase the other day.
There's thousands of white artists that do R&B or hip hop music, and they just don't get the support imo.
In the UK, on Radio 1Xtra (the biggest urban station), they have numerous white artists on the playlist, there's Devlin, Tyler James, Jessie J, Dappy, Skrillex, Amy Winehouse, DJ Fresh and Conor Maynard.
It's too coincidental that urban radio in the US plays so many black people. It's not 99% black people that make urban music anymore. It's 2012, not 1985.
