My opinion is that this was an offensive thread to begin with.

U2's music is universal - the themes and wishes in their music for a better and fairer world is shared by people around the globe. :yes:

Being a Rock band, the majority of their audience has traditionally been white, but that has seen a steady change over the years as U2 updated their sound in the 1990's.

U2 is the biggest,most well-known and loved Rock band in the world - they have inspired groups to form and spread their social messages of Peace and social justice in Mexico, Pakistan and many other countries around the world. :up:

Increasingly, U2 (mainly because of Bono's social activism for Africa) have gained the respect and the friendship of many varied Black performers from Hip-Hop, Jazz and traditional R & B music.

I think we should just respect the fact that, for a group of white Rock musicians, U2 have done more and have gone farther than any other white group I can think of to respect other cultures and to do all that they can to include people of other cultures in their audiences. :wink:

What more would we want fron them?

I agree 100% with you!
