About Gospel music and Christian music in America

This means that Gospel Music is black music and Christian music is white music. Hence the divide at the Grammy Awards, where music by white people are grouped under Christian music category and music by Black people are grouped under Gospel music category. Furthermore, the Dove Awards is majorly an award for White people’s music and the Stellar Awards is an award for Black people’s music.
