The Positives

Rock has many negative connotations associated with it. But I would argue that it has also brought about many positive things. Maybe not as many as the negative but positive none the less.

I believe the greatest thing it did was help dissolve segregation. By bringing in a diverse audience of black and white kids it helped them realize how similar they were. They had a common intrest in the form of listening to rock music. And sinse most artists at the time were black. It forced the whites to come to the black neighborhoods and start mixing with each other more. Leading to the less and less racial environment that we have today. Even to the point of finally having a black President. Which I think rock deserves some credit for bringing that about.
