Why does Stewart even need to claim that it is not a factor?" History is why race is a factor. Back in the day there were not strong copyright laws as there are today.

He took Little Richard's music and made it his own. btw i'm asian, not afro american 586815@blogcritics.org Mon, 7 May 2007 10:08:00 EDT
