And whoever says that is lying because sex in your thirties and beyond is f**king out of this world.Collection: Kings

What I can't understand why Blacks can't achieve royal status when it comes to forms that they have largely created? I mean there's a White King of Rock n' Roll, there's a White King of Jazz, how come we can never achieve titles of royalty in these fields we are supposed to prevail in?
