That would be sweet.

There are some commercially successful black authors out there that have made the NYT list, Terry McMillan comes to mind first as well as Eric Jerome Dickey and E. Lynn Harris.

I don't see how people can think it protects against piracy. About Michael Jackson: whatever one thinks about his personal life, he was revolutionary. He was the first black pop icon. When I think of him, I think of a musician who happened to be black, rather than his being black defining the sort of music he made. I think that paved the way for a lot of young black musicians who came after him. For example, I saw Destiny's Child as a girl band who happened to be black; The Supremes I'll always associate with Motown. Now all we need is for a black romance author to hit the top spot on the NYT list and make history! Hope that makes some sort of sense. I'm operating on very little sleep. DRM sucks.
