Note the two-pronged attack —
If I wanted to wear my hair in cornrows, the would call that “cultural appropriation”. You see, corn rows as a “black thing” and as a white person, I am not allowed to partake in “black things”.
If I want to enjoy sheet music, they would call that “white supremacy”. You see, as a vestige of colonialism, and white supremacy, there are some things that are “white things” and, as a white person, I am not allowed to partake in “white things”.
They want me to have NOTHING.
They want EVERYTHING.
Oh well! In the words of Rachmaninoff, “easy come, easy go!”
Woketards going to town at Oxford.
All I can say is, “Will the madness ever stop?”
So the new champions are ghetto-dwelling Blacks and their sympathizers, the Woke.
Is the university trying to say black people can’t read or write music? Isn’t that in itself racist?
They gonna replace sheet music with maybe cuneiform on clay tablets?? How asinine!
Stewart Copeland (the drummer for the police) said: some people are auditory musicians and others are visual musicians.
Auditory musicians learn by hearing.
Visual musicians learn by seeing (sheet music).
Sitting on a busy street corner drumming on plastic buckets to a random rythm is not music.
Some folks can’t read.
Also playing music in a certain key denotes that locks are involved.
I don't know how sharps and flats are racist, but I'm sure they are.
Beethoven started going deaf at 25.
For most of his life he was unable to hear the details of most instruments. In his letters he talked about not being able to hear flutes or people singing—sounds that others heard.
For much of his life, he laid his head on the piano while composing, because that was the only way he could hear anything at all. The vibrations from the piano against this side of his head was his auditory experience.
Beethoven wrote his 9th symphony after he went completely deaf—COMPLETELY DEAF.

But what the heck, let’s cancel all he accomplished despite adversity, because he’s a dead white guy.
Translation: “reading music is hard”
There might be certain musical patterns that need to be banned. Perhaps all classical music since - well, you know.
Instead of being shocked, let's encourage them to go all the way...no more dabbling or half-way measures.
Oxford should get rid of EVERYTHING created by Whites...all White music, all math and sciences, all languages except African, gay, and trans.
Let's get this thing DONE.
And no more NHS except for non-White physicians/nurses and that medicine invented/discovered/developed by non-Whites.
I once thought of Oxford University as being one of the top Universities in the United States. Seeing some of the garbage coming out of Oxford recently, I have changed my mind.
Insane. Mass hysteria.
Next - books written in any European language will be called racist. Let’s all go back to grunting and muttering and wielding clubs. Civilization is racist!
It’s most likely just a couple of the worst loons pushing this. Yet such loons are given big status for some strange reason. Who put these wackos in charge? Why does what they think matter?
The media makes them seem more numerous than they are. Eliminate reporters and see peace spread through9out the world.
This madness will soon have to end.
