Racism is alive and well, it's known as "BET, the black college fund, affirmative action, miss black America" etc... change any of the "black" to "white" in those examples and they wouldn't exist. Racism hurts ALL humans - regardless of color, race, religion, creed. Racism works BOTH ways - just accept the fact that noone agrees and move on.

They done changed history with the Bible, now they want to change "our" history right in front of our face. Racism is alive and well. "Obama is just a symbol to the rest of the world that America has changed, to those of us who are Black Men who live here we know better". White people leave this alone.

Playing music can make you smarter, not listening to it. But this is pretty interesting. Just one question- In which way is the brain altered; does it make it larger, thicker, harder, or just smarter?

I listen to both Lil Wayne And Beethoven Regularly and i love both types of music. So am i stupid or smart? I like listening to lotsa different types of music because i have an open mind. Unlike me, most teenagers don't have Beethoven and Tchaikovsky on their Ipod though...

to Dan:

You're right that correlation does not equal causation, however, there was nothing in the article mentioning causation.

It merely states that smart kids like Beethoven and dumb kids like Lil' Wayne.

I think there's a confounding variable at play here. Beethoven isn't necessarily causally responsible for higher SAT scores--more likely this reflects the fact that those who are more likely to study and hire tutors and retake the SAT several times are also those who would place a higher value on listening to classical music.
