Even though I got mad at you about the Michael Doucet comments, I still respect you for all of these wonderful Cajun music videos you post on here, Falcan, and thank you for this beautiful commentary by Canray Fontenot about our great,lost hero, Amede. Canray was a pure soul.

Either way, opinions differ and you're free to have your own. Personally, i feel Doucet's way overrated, but then again, just my opinion. Glad you enjoy the videos.

He Sort Of Looks Like Tommy Davidson, Just A Little.....

It's so sad!! Why did those fools need to injure him? (I know why.) It's upsetting, though.

ME CAGO EN EL RACISMO Y EN TODOS LOS RACISTAS!!! CÓMO ES POSIBLE MATAR A UN ARTISTA ASÍ !!! Y ADEMÁS, "LA QUE PRUEBA NEGRO NO VUELVE" ¡¡¡GILIPOLLAS!!! CES CONNARDS SONT DE TROP SUR LA PLANÈTE!!! THOSE WHO KILL AN ARTIST WILL BE ONE DAY WITHOUT ANY MUSIC , OR PAINTING , OR FILM, OR NOVEL TO EASE THEIR PAIN, AND THEN THY WILL KNOW THEIR SIN. ARTISTS ARE CHOSEN BY THE GODS TO WIPE MEN'S TEARS. AND ALL THIS FUSS ABOUT SEGREGATION IS FALSE . JEFFERSON TOLD NO LIES...AND HAD SEVEN MULATTO CHI LDREN

@masterchiefer123 In case you don't know this, Michael Doucet has taught more people about Amede and Canray than anyone. No one can channel Amede's music and spirit like Michael. Get some respect because we couldn't appreciate Amede without learning all that MIchael taught. He is as much of a talent as Amede.

@CajunCatherine hello...you are right on...i am a cajun who has a mixed daughter...i have spent my whole life spending time with my cajun and creole family and other black family through marriage...by far the most racist folks i have met have been my black relatives...i love them but it is true...and i say that because in their minds they don't think they are racist because as they say to me..."i am being pro-black and that isn't racist"..tell that to the white guy is the one being denied...
