A saxophone player was assaulted outside the Summerfest grounds near Chicago St. on Wednesday, June 26th around 11 p.m.

26-year-old street performer Cassandra Struve became a target on opening night while she was playing an old jazz song.

“I was playing Minnie the Moocher, classic Blues Brothers song,” said Struve. ”A lady with a child in her hand came up to me, smacked me in my face and said ‘don’t play that.’”

Struve says three African American women confronted her and shouted that a white girl could not play the song.

After being hit, Struve says she was shocked and pushed the woman away, but was hit again.

“Her daughter came out of nowhere and punched me twice in the side of the face,” said Struve. “After she did that I was instantly upset. You know, I mean, I cried.”

“Reverse” racism. So prevalent in the real world.

So in absentia in the media, political, academic and corporate worlds

Struve says three African American women confronted her and shouted that a white girl could not play the song.

In follow up news, the D.A. hasn't yet decided if charges will be filed against Struve.

I think of it as a classic Cab Calloway song

Um, it wasn’t a “Blues Brother’s” song.

But so what. Blacks think they own a piece of music if it was originaly performed by a black guy? (Cab Calloway, IIRC)

I’m getting sick of these STUPID and uneducated street thugs.

What happens if a white attacks Darius Rucker and says only whites should perform country music? (Actually he did get a tweet... “Leave country to the white folk”*)

She’s lucky she didn’t play the tuba.

Seattle’s “Tuba Man” killed by feral youth. Their sentences measured in weeks. Although I think I heard that one of them was back in prison again for a shooting.

I think it was the whites getting uppity. How dare a white person play a song written by a black guy?

Or did you have some other point?
