Skum626- I'm sorry but I have to say his music transcends race or skin color. Should I feel bad for being white and want to celebrate him and his music too?

grzybolino- Jah bless AFRICA!! AFRICA MUST UNITE!! Big UP Femi!

EZBROWN27 - Yo I am so intouch with this music I don't know what it is. I love it !!!
MsKar1- I'm sorry white person. It's good that you want to celebrate Fela Kuti music, but knowing him and his struggles are something you will never understand. We Africans in the world can relate, from what we have been through from every land and nation. White folks in the world has always been priviledge. Can we African ppl enjoy this moment to ourselves, without whitey interfering in what we have. Just enjoy the music and the message it brings. But, Fela you will never understand. This is deep.
****
Skum626- No need to apologise and i respect your comment. Yes I'll truly never understand even though I really want to. Please remember one thing, we don't choose our colour at birth.
****
MsKar1- You right. We don't choose our colour at birth. God made us who we are, and gave everyone their own. We are to respect what we see in others as ourselves. Don't get me wrong I don't hate white people at all. I love everyone, but I must be about discernment. I did not want to insult your race I do apologize for that.

EgbesuJuju2010- @Skum626 As a Nigerian I can tell you that most Nigerians are celebrating with you, and are glad to see that you can appreciate the talent of both Fela and Femi do not let anyone tell you otherwise. Baba is a hero to most Nigerians as well as Africans but the whole world can appreciate his message. I speak as a former loyal patron of African shrine( Kalakuta Republic).
