I won't disagree with you that there is definitely racism
going on when it comes to "disco sucks" but it wasn't the only thing going on. I get the impression that in a similar way that punk was a reaction to prog, hip hop was a reaction to disco. There's an excellent video by DMC that goes into it a bit (at about the 4 minute mark) youtu.be/QPRmFJ_U8Ug
On a slightly different note a colleague went to the MOBO awards a few years back and it was such a narrow version of "black" music it was unreal. No jazz, no ska, no blues, no funk, no disco...
