Being a music teacher and being insufficiently aware of every trend in music around the world is now a microaggression. At least according to one particularly special snowflake at Syracuse University. During a "listening session" at Syracuse that allowed students essentially to vent about what they perceived as racial and social injustice at the university, one student stood up to describe her tale of woe. David Rubin, former dean of the university's School of Public Communications, was there to document the tale. "One student said a music faculty member was unaware of the latest musical trends in this student's culture. The student felt this was a micro-aggression against her, Rubin wrote.
"Why didn't this young woman simply offer, in a friendly way, to visit the faculty member and introduce this new music?" Rubin added. "A micro-aggression? Please."
Rubin describes the session as being about personal issues, "safe spaces" and microaggressions such as the one survived by the aforementioned student. He also explained that the listening sessions will do nothing to bring about the changes desired by the students. For one, the faculty member who needed to hear the students wasn't at the session, and for another, as Rubin describes, there was no actual discussion. "Not once in more than 90 minutes did anyone stand and say 'I disagree with what was just said,' or 'I have another perspective on that,'" Rubin wrote. "The 'discussion' was airless and self-validating. The single exception was an Hispanic faculty member who pleaded for a little humor in assessing true racial slights..."

She’s lucky her music teacher didn’t tell her that her latest music was cr*p.
Let’s start with Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, et. al. Permit me to doubt that the latest rappers are in the same league with them.
You could spend a whole term learning nothing but Haydn, for that matter.
She’s lucky the music teacher didn’t grab her by the collar and kick her a$$ out the door.
“One student said a music faculty member was unaware of the latest musical trends in this student’s culture. The student felt this was a micro-aggression against her, Rubin wrote. “
This should have been followed by loud and prolonged laughter from the audience.
Get to know THIS, ya blooming idiot!
“Dirty Love”
[backing vocals Tina Turner & The Ikettes]
Give me
Your dirty love
Like you might surrender
To some dragon in your dreams
Give me
Your dirty love
Like a pink donation
To the dragon in your dreams
I don’t need your sweet devotion
An’ I don’t want your cheap emotion
Whip me up some dragon lotion
For your dirty love
Your dirty love
Give me
Your dirty love
Like some tacky little pamphlet
In your daddy’s bottom drawer
Give me
Your dirty love
I don’t believe you never seen
His book before
I don’t need no consolation
I don’t want your reservation
I only got one destination
An’ that’s your dirty love
Your dirty love
Give me
Your dirty love
Just like your mama
Make her fuzzy poodle do
(Oh, Frenchie . . . )
Give me
Your dirty love
The way your mama
Make that nasty poodle chew
I’ll ignore your cheap aroma
And your little-bo-peep diploma
I’ll just put you in a coma
With some dirty love
Some dirty love
That dirty love
That dirty love
THE POODLE BITES!
(Come on, Frenchie)
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
(Snap it!)
THE POODLE BITES!
(Come on, Frenchie)
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
(Snap it!)
THE POODLE BITES!
(Come on, Frenchie)
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
(Snap it!)
THE POODLE BITES!
(Come on, Frenchie)
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
(Not a speck of cereal!)
THE POODLE BITES!
(Come on, Frenchie)
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
(Nothing but the best for my dog!)
THE POODLE BITES!
(Come on, Frenchie)
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
(Come on!)
THE POODLE BITES!
(Come on, Frenchie)
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
(Little paws sticking up!)
THE POODLE BITES!
(Little curly head!)
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
(Little curly tail!)
Introduce them to actual aggression. Say, a 9 iron across the knees. While they are in extensive orthopedic rehab, one of the assignments might be 10,000 words on comparisons of aggressive types, and relative realities as a learning tool...
It’s no wonder these coddled perfect voters end up so immature, child like and uncililized...
...they really do think their something special.
200-300 years from now, people will still be listening to Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms.
Will they still be listening to today’s rappers?
My guess is “no”.
Wasn’t that a Frank Zappa song?
I don’t like calling these people Snowflakes. I don’t think they are delicate at all. They are leftists inventing a problem, and they will be brutal in how they ‘solve’ the problem.
I swore off committing microaggressions for the new year.
Henceforth, I will treat the professionally offended and perpetually aggrieved to full-blown macroaggressions only.
Go big, or go home.
Atrocious lyrics, expressing atrocious ideas, from a degraded culture.
Yes snowflake...what is the latest trend in jungle music?
Micro aggression. Definition: something too small to see without a special self-absorption microscope.
(Cue up Die Valkure
)
yes, it was Zappa. The Ikettes and Tina did backups, but Ike didn’t like the music and asked that they not be credited.
You don’t have to like it.
