I have no idea what this sentence means. What does "jack and jill" mean as a verb? So the master bedroom turns into a master bedroom, but is currently a dining room, but if you did think about doing it, then 500 kg of onyx stone would appear? Does it have the stunning views now, or after you implement his proposal? And why is he calling it a master bedroom if it's a dining room? Or is this part of the jack and jillification?

"She explained: “I think if people did any research they would see that there was race music and then there was pop music. And race music was their way of segregating Black artists from being mainstream, because they didn’t want their kids listening to music created by Black and brown people because they said it was demonic and yada, yada, yada.”
I'd argue that some of the biggest, arguably the biggest Pop artists of the '80s were POC. Who did the whites get? A Flock of Seagulls? Rick Astley?
Of course there was (and is) discrimination in the music industry. But to suggest that black artists were somehow segregated and not given the same exposure as white artists is complete nonsense.

Black music has always been categorised as a thing. 'Urban' was always a euphemism for it.
Have a look at the Disco Sucks rallies, see which records were being thrown on the bonfires.
Then consider how segregated American culture was, with certain radio stations refusing to play music by black people.
This is all perfectly obvious. There's a lineage of racism in the music industry. Like lots of other industries.
