No I do not. If you mean current mainstream, all the artistes I named are that. Just because they don't fit into your narrow definition of what is mainstream does not exclude them.
I do notice the subtext of your OP though, as I'm sure everyone else has. Why don't you just admit you mean black mainstream artistes, which is why you're trying to prove Springsteen, U2 etc are not mainstream where they quite clearly are. If you mean black artistes, say black artistes. It's interesting you haven't mentioned in your OP any of the problems afflicting the world that don't centre on black people.
I've no problem if you mean black artists, but if you do then say it, don't hide behind generalities and trying to redefine what is mainstream and what is not.
Just be honest. And also, a bit of a more concillatory tone, or just a polite one, would be nice. I'm not an idiot. Please don't talk to me as if I am one.

I am not talking to you like you are an idiot. I am not sure where your attitude is coming from because when I ask if you read the OP question I insisted that I was not trying to be smart and clarified the artists I was referring too.
I am not sure why you think that I am talking about ALL mainstream artists when I am pretty specific in my OP post of the type of mainstream artists I am referring too.
I am not sure how I can clarify the type of mainstream artists I am referring too because I feel like I have. Once again, I am not talking about older mainstream artists. I am also not referring to any type of race in particular. However, I was surprised that none of the current black pop stars had anything to say about the Ferguson protests however I have made it clear that I am mostly focusing on social issues and not race
I am specifically referring to CURRENT mainstream artists i.e. Beyonce, Jay Z, Katy Perry, Nikki, Kanye, Taylor Swift etc. I am not talking about older mainstream artists and if you still want to insist otherwise than I don't know what to tell you.
I am not sure how I can explain or clarify my point any clearer than that.
You seem to be the one that is arrogant and has some type of attitude toward my question for whatever reason.
