...V!

[Paladin2]

Yeah, Grade C Rap is now society’s highest achievement.

intelligent idiots

leave our country

i’m sure you all know of a better place in africa or the middle east

leave now while you still are able to do so in a civilized manner

[wardaddy]

Minorities histories are replete with nothingness

So they now aim to destroy ours

[conservativepoet]

Vox is boring. Destroy is all they know. Create beauty and joy, now that’s brilliant.

[Shadow44]

I thought Beethoven was black. Isn’t it racist to say his music is divisive and exclusive?

[Secret Agent Man]

he forgets he’s attacking a deaf guy

[dsrtsage]

And rap is a symbol of ignorance and illiteracy. There I said it

[Flick Lives]

I thought Beethoven was black.

So was Hamilton.

>>McGill said, “If you pretend like there’s no other music out there, that Beethoven is the greatest music that ever will matter,” then new listeners will not feel welcome in the genre.<<

Except NO ONE does that!

This is a typical lefty non sequiter. As I have said many times, the only logic lefties have is logical fallacies.

I think blues and jazz added a thing or two to culture.

“As you perpetuate the idea that the giants of the music all look the same, it conveys to the other that there’s not a stake in that music for them,” classical music critic James Bennett II told Vox.

Those who can't do, teach.
Those who can't teach, criticize.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

So here we have these ultra-modern people making the argument that “Wet Ass P****y” is greater art than Betthoven’s 5th Symphony.

I don’t know what says to you but what it says to me is that Darwin was wrong.

[neverevergiveup]

This is ridiculous, to say the least. You can like Coltrane, Sly, Hendrix, AND Debussy, Beethoven, and Verdi’s operas. They aren’t mutually exclusive, AND they are beyond race.

[snarkytart]

why because it doesn’t include foul language, ass cracks showing, and twerking?

I’m starting to think this vague term “white privledge” just means standards and making good choices.

Like “why are white females walking in hoodies not followed” WHITE PRIVLEDGE? yea no. It’s because statistically speaking white females do not commit a lot of violent crime. They do not engage in choices that cause them to be looked upon as suspect.

I suppose if Biden wins the election, Beethoven will suddenly become relevant again.
