Black folks should not listen to Mozart
Edited on Wed Mar-30-05 10:00 AM by ChavezSpeakstheTruth
Why do black people listen to Mozart and European Classical Music? Last year I lived in a residential hall, and at first I thought the entire floor was filled with white students. European Classical Music was played constantly.

My comments are not meant to be racist. I just do not believe black people should listen to European Classical Music. Nor do I believe whites should listen to Jazz, Blues or Hip Hop music.

If anything, black students who attempt to use white slang and wear powdered wigs look and sound ridiculous. Maybe no one has pointed that out to black students in America. So I am.

I ave no right to tell anyone what they should or should not listen to, but I do have a right to express my views on this subject. And I believe blacks should stick to music by black artists.


Sound fucking ridiculous - that's because it is:

1. Also, Jews should not listen to German composers.
Non-arabs should refrain from using gasoline.
Land-dwelling animals like humans should never swim.

3. Humans are supposed to be omnivores
(no offense to vegetarians). But we are supposed to eat and enjoy ideas and concepts and works of art from everywhere. Cutting yourself off from one aspect of the human existance is just stupid.

13. not to mention
it sets up bigotry and intolerance. I think cutting ourselves off from other aspects and cultures limits our perspective to see the plight of others. I love learning about other cultures, especially music and food.:D

6. Talk about being hopped up on an alternate reality
I don't know many white students who listen to that stuff.

Oh well, I'll add one, Christians should only listen to Christian music.

Athiests can't ever listen to music with a religious overtone.

Why not add that Europeans can't eat Sushi or Curried foods?

That's just so freaking absurd. I can't even keep it up.

25. Damn . . .

I love 'em - they have the greatest harmony parts ever created. Please don't do this to me.

24. I'm Black and I am free to listen to all kinds of music

and I do.

My parents exposed me to every kind of music and I thank them for bringing beauty into my life.

26. Women should not listen to male composers
It only brainwashes them to accept patriarchy. They should ONLY listen to women's music.

I'm not being sexist -- I am merely attempting to eradicate sexism.

Thanks for your efforts to make this a more sensible world, CSTT :-)

30. But African-Americans could read A.S. Pushkin ...
(Russian poet) ... but I'm not sure they'd be allowed to speak Russian.

Ah, what the hey. They speak English (or an English-based creole), why not Russian?

http://www.aaregistry.com/african_american_history/1605/Alexander_Pushkin_Black_Russian_poet_and_novelist
(But I must say that the "one drop rule", silly in US now-obsolete American social views, is even sillier when applied to Russian anything.)
