Yeah that was a response to Jill's response to the "Get Down & Boogie" clip before she edited her post. She wrote something like "the act usually got a cool reception unless they were German or already had a hit".

Ok disco was cool in the early part of the 70's. Then around 78 it started to get more formulated and repetitive. Live musicians were becoming extinct. And whatever live bands were left were getting watered down. The disco era was the beginning of the end. Yeah racism also played a part in the anti disco movement. But not always. There were some non racist Whites along with Blacks who hated it for the reasons I already mentioned.
