One of the things about living in a totalitarian society is that, once something has been identified as problematic, everyone ends up competing to attack in the most aggressive way. Fail to do so, and you may find yourself being the next person identified as problematic. Perhaps that explains why the University of Oxford, founded in 1096, is contemplating ending sheet music because it’s part of white supremacy.
To be honest, it’s a little bit hard to make sense of the story because it’s so screamingly stupid. Apparently, music professors are claiming that all Western classical music has “complicity in white supremacy.” This seems to include such composers as Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, and Handel, all of whom were living in continental Europe in the 17th through 19th centuries and none of whom had anything whatsoever to do with Blacks, Africa, or the slave trade.
The problem is that they and their musical notations existed at the same time as the African slave trade. And that’s not a typo:
University staff have argued that the current curriculum focuses on 'white European music from the slave period', according to The Telegraph.
Documents seen by the publication indicate proposed reforms to target undergraduate courses.
It claimed that teaching musical notation had 'not shaken off its connection to its colonial past' and would be 'a slap in the face' to some students.
And it added that musical skills should no longer be compulsory because the current repertoire's focus on 'white European music' causes 'students of colour great distress'.

Unreal. It’s just a form of communication using musical tones. No different from the alphabet, words, braille etc...
Pick a side and cowboy up.
Oh, and Miles got a lot of crap from fellow black musicians for having Bill Evans play on “Kind of Blue”.
Next we have to abolish gravity because Sir Isaac Newton invented it during the time of the African slave trade.
99.9% of professional musicians make their living playing music they’ve never heard before. How would they suggest they do that?
The intent is to push civilization back to tribal days. Everything that denotes advancements in civilization is being attacked and cancelled. Everything in art that is beautiful is under siege. The powers that be want us back to a level of feudal society where a wealthy, educated, elite few were supported by the endless labor of the mass of illiterate, poor working class. That has always been the natural order. Our present day middle class, universal education model is an aberration. Look at the rest of the world outside the G8. All the push for BLM, LBGTQ, etc. is just a means to an end. The destruction of modern civilized western culture. They care not a wit for these groups and their desires. They are just handy ways to get to where they want to be. They used to be called useful idiots.
You are totally right.
This is not about race, this is not even about culture really. It is about people who believe the world is a concrete reality and should be built up and people who believe in nothing and want exactly that for all people. Nothing.
Their goal is nothing less then the extermination of the human race.
They remind me of The Order of Null. Which I thought was a stupid concept at the time because no one with any brains could accept that idiocy. I was wrong.
Only when the symbols are cursive.

It’s the natural “White” desire to rule over everybody, by telling minorities what they should think, and convincing them that White Liberals are the only ones who can save them.
They also hope the crocodile eats them last. But it’s all for completely selfish reasons, and not out of a sense of altruism.

Voluntary Human Extinction Movement
There is a “Down with People” feeling to this movement lately.
A rejection of Humanity in all its glory if you will.
And China should beware because they are on the list as well.
It is not no white people that is the goal but no people at all.
And if that does not chill you nothing will.
Black notation on white paper; see how white dominates black? Of course that’s racist.
This goes even deeper; it is rooted in hatred of God and His ways and law.
Think about: if there is hatred of God there is also hatred of His image and since we are created in His image, the logical conclusion is hatred of people.
You could have knocked me down with a hemidemisemiquaver.
Whatever happened to “The ink is black, the page is white, together we learn to read and write...”
You are black
And I am white
You are blind as a bat
And I have sight

I want off of this planet. People have gone stark-raving mad.
Who knew that “The Twilight Zone” would actually become reality?
