AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article is told from one POV, therefore violating NPOV, and it has no reliable sources, anyway, to back it up. A declined speedy.  ceran  thor 11:35, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Music: racism in the 1950's now nominated as well. Ironholds (talk) 11:11, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * And Racism in early rock and roll. Sigh. Ironholds (talk) 10:51, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * See also Racism in the early rock music (separate AfD going on) and Racism in early rock music (no AfD yet). – Kieran T  (' talk ') 10:55, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Might as well list Racism in early rock music here, too.  ceran  thor 10:58, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Lacks references, appears to be little more than an essay. Might be possible to create a good article on the topic but not based on the current article.  Nothing worth saving here. RadioFan (talk) 11:42, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

 * I see that this is one of at least three such essays that have been posted on Wikipedia, apparently as part of an assignment from a schoolteacher who thought it would be a good idea. My apologies to User:Jassinta F; clearly, you're a student who is being required to do this.  Shame on the teacher who subjects his pupils to the criticism of others.
