| Too Many White People Playing Classical Music, Washington Post says |
| 2021-03-08 |
| Finally, they are starting to notice. [ToddStarnes] Cancel culture is coming to a symphony hall near you. And Todd Starnes predicted this in his new book, “Culture Jihad: How to Stop the Left From Killing a Nation.” Click here to read. The Washington Post issued a call to arms on Thursday to the angry mob after publishing a report that showed a troubling percentage of white musicians in orchestras and – even though we don’t exactly know how to respond— something needs to change faster than a pianist’s fingers in Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata (3rd movement).” Michael Andor Brodeur, the classical music critic at the paper, argues that it is high time that the country examines its iconic music chambers due, in part, to its reawakening on social injustice after recent killings by police in the U.S. More at the link And a palette cleanser: |

| #21 /\ The actual problem is too many people are reading the WP. If you dropped 'reading the WP'... Bill and Belinda, along with many in Washington might agree. |

| #15 Close you eyes while listening to any music, and the performers can be anything you want them to be. Guinea pigs seduce potential mates by singing love songs and performing a rumba, scientists say |

| #14 If people don't want to do something (STEM majors, Classical Music) how is it bad that there aren't many of them doing that thing? There are very few asian rappers, there are few blacks in Heavy Metal, is this a problem? No. |

| #13 I liked Elton John's music for quite a while before I realized he was "colorful" to watch. Later, his preferences were thrust upon me, but I still like Crocodile Rock. Close you eyes while listening to any music, and the performers can be anything you want them to be. |

| #11 I have listened to some SCA reenactors doing skaldic verse, to Gregorian Chants and ... Rap. Normally my theory is "whatever floats your boat", but Rap (and Italian Operetta for some reason) joins Heavy Metal as "noise pollution" to my tastes. |

| #9 Was in McDonough, GA. a few weekends ago at the outdoor Flea Market. When we got to the upper end for the weekend setup tables, we had to turn around and leave. A table had RAP songs blaring MF this, MF that, P,N,H words, and other explicit words etc... etc....(NC-17+++). Last weekend we did the Augusta Ga. Barn Yard Flea Market. Very mixed race and 99% respectful with all around good Southern manners and courtesy. Except for one 30 year old 'ish extra heavy-set Black Guy walking around with a portable Blue Tooth Boom Tube Speaker, blaring filthy worded RAP. I figured he was just trying to get a rise out of certain people types as he would stop for extended times around them and turn up the volume. If this is WOKE? Then maybe we need to introduce WOKE to the Real World which still requires respect, proper decorum and behavior in Public. Especially when in Family environments. Instead of just appeasing them for things that 99.999999% of us never did in the last 4 generations. |

| #8 Kinda ironic that East Asians value the Western classical music repertoire more than our own idiot leftist wokesters |

| #7 well, by the rules of the left, any non-white musicians playing classical music should be accused of culture appropriation. |

| #2 They tried this about 20 year ago . They got push back from Black musicians . It seems that all the major orchestras use "blind" auditions for chair positions to prevent nepotism and other forms of bias. When a Black musician passes a blind audition it is very hard to "punish" him for being black. |

| #1 So instead have a bunch of minority thugs rapping about how kewl it is to gun down people, rape women and do drugs. I'll stick with the classical and shoot anyone that tries to cancel it. |
