Did you know your tax dollars support articles that all but label President Donald Trump racist? And suggest the same of your favorite singers, too?
Consider a new pop culture think piece from NPR.
The headline alone is all you need to read: White Nostalgia Didn't Start With Trump Just Look At Classic Rock
Suddenly, the soundtrack to our lives has been thrown under the bus, and we helped fund it. It begins, of course, with calling Trumps signature appeal racist.
For more than a year, Donald Trump has harped on white nostalgia.
A hearkening back to a rosy, but ambiguous, time in American history with his Make America Great Again slogan propelled his presidential run. It was a message, though, largely not embraced in minority communities, given that blacks, Latinos and women were fighting for equal rights during the same period Trump has indicated he believes America was great (the Industrial Revolution and the post-World War II 1940s and '50s).
Give the NPR scribe credit. He doesnt mince words. Not a bit.

Sounds like the script for Beverly Hills Cop, or Trading Places, or 48 Hours....all from the same Star.
Not all was hideous. The late 70’s gave us Steely Dan at their finest. That music still sounds good today. It was fully rooted in jazz and light blues, spiced up with Peter Frampton like riffs here and there.
Totally agree. I have said repeatedly, that forcing taxpayers, including those who oppose everything political that NPR touts, is akin to forcing a victim to pay for the bullets with which he is executed.
And anyway, NPR is racist, they play Wagner /s
I am so sick of this race crap..
I believe it simple treat other people the way you want to be treated
But the left has made it like each race, each group, has as a phone book size Book of Rules..(with daily weekly hourly infinitely addendums) that are unique for each race/group that you must follow
It getting to the point that the the lefts politically correct “interracial” action ..will carry so much protocol baggage that you will not be able to talk to each other ..it's ridiculous...
And maybe that the point.. the lefts politically correct interaction between groups is intended to divide us all and keep us divided
“NPR should be unfunded immediately. Any taxpayer money going to these lunatics and any tax breaks that crappy organization receives should be ended. What a bunch of life-losers.”

I agree.
Let the listeners who enjoy their programming make their contributions directly.
The half of the population who feels otherwise shouldn’t have to subsidize their slanted “stories.”
Ah, I remember AWB. They had an LP cover that I found rather interesting. Of course, that was back when my brain was first being pickled in testosterone.
Funniest thing I’ve read in a long time!
Play that funky music, White Boy.
“Is there a more recognizable, unique voice than the late Levi Stubbs from the Four Tops? Even today, just a few words sung and you know that voice.
I dont recall anyone caring abut his skin color..”

Another great example, FRiend!
Talent is talent and people enjoy well-crafted songs sung by people with great voices.
So, I guess the MoTown Sound is racist as well?..................
Amen. Any decade which produced Steely Dan, has expiated all other sins.
Chaka Khan, the singer started as a back up for Rufus.
It very quickly became a case of ‘all about Chaka’.
She had the voice, the stage presence and was better to look at than Patty Labelle.
It’s already starting to bite them in the azz. They are the snake eating its own tail, now.
I remember that guy, wasn’t he the warmup act for the very white Monkees once upon a time?
When the hell is the government going to stop funding NPR? It is nothing more than a propaganda wing for the democRAT commie socialist network.
“Tell me they did NOT dress that way and that the whole world didnt find it ridiculous.”

It is hard to believe. 70’s “fashion” was anything but! :)
But a lot of teenaged girls at the time had crushes on them. Perhaps it was because they were slightly exotic—they were Scottish. :)
It’s about American pride and can do spirit. This is WHITE?
It’s also all about the $$$$$ honey, including jobs for American citizens.
Hard to believe that love of America is now attributed to all things White.
