When did the music lines start to split between black and white bands/groups?

Stopped on some infomercial to sell some Rock and Roll collection from the late 50s early 60s and it all sounded the same no matter who was singing..

But how is that a black/white thing and not a thing about music in general at the time?
Im just trying to figure out how you jumped there

When the Beatles and the Beach Boys stormed in and curb stomped everyone with their rock sound that had those electric instruments and harmony.

Probably around the 60s, when prominent mixed-race artists like Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley stormed the music scene. This was continued through the 70s and 80s with the likes of Phil Lynott....
Wait, I didn't realize this was a clan rally.

I'm not entirely sure he meant black/white race, or did he?
I don't think it all sounded the same in the 50's and 60's.
Roy Orbison - Crying
Buddy Holly - Not Fade Away
Other than them being rock n roll I don't see what the OP is talking about. These are two of the biggest rockers from that time period.

Guys, you're all missing the point. What do black people listen to today? Rap/R&B. What do white people listen to today? Rock/Country and women listen to horrible Pop. Obviously my entire post is incredibly stereotypical and some would say "racist" but it's not without merit. Black people are associated with rap and white people are associated with rock, and that's just how it is. I like just about everything. Im a metalhead that likes everything from the heaviest music ever made to classic rock to roots blues to R&B to Michael Jackson pop. To answer the original OP's question, I think it started to be visibly separate to the general public in the early 70's when Hee Haw and Soul Train were created and each were specifically marketed to a certain race of people. So yea, late 60's/early 70's.

How else could he possibly be using it? Audio waves do not exist anywhere within the color spectrum. Although, The Dear Hunter may have a take on it....

This was when white kids started playing the blues, and black artists started playing pop. Before that the lines were drawn.

You don't think he is talking about black and white race do you?

When black pop singers started calling their music R&B.

Sad, but true.
Also, why do black kids these days never want to try and play some rock, funk or blues? It's rare to see, kinda sucks.
