re: Sheet music about to get cancelled; yep white supremacy

Is this where I get to further interject that people of color, who play instruments or music that use the European scale are committing cultural appropriation and should be cancelled and lose all credibility? Maybe they shouldn't be allowed to sing songs with English language words either.

Thinking themselves wise they became fools

Well, they cancelled math first. Actually, it was the SAT math. It was racist because apparently some schools in certain areas don't teach numbers to their kids.

Music is complicated. Very much mathematical, but also creative, which makes it much more difficult. But, apparently, all you need to excel in music these days is a drummer and a silver bikini, and a music video where you rub your crotch on a pole. The latter of which is not a learned, intelligent development in music, but an appeal to the basic instincts even chickens have.

More liberals dumbing down society and erasing literally everything humans struggled and worked to achieve.

My grandchildren will NOT have cell phone service because cell phone service revolves around having a knowledge of radio waves, engineering, satellite technology, general relativity, etc., which is all white oppression.

My only hope is that most of the idiots 50 years from now drive into a fricking river because they've outlawed math and physics from cell phone geolocation.

Oxford University May Scrap Sheet Music for Being Complicit in ‘White Supremacy’

If only someone would reply with "Hey cancel your own shite and leave the rest alone"

Every music student should enroll at a school that teaches what they desire to learn, sue Oxford for tuition and expenses incurred when the course fraudulently claimed students would graduate with a degree of music knowledge.
These woke tenured professors don't seem to realise they are hired contractors paid to provide a service, and nothing more.

Aren't all of these based on the European scale of music?

If you want to be so reductive and say that notes are an entirely a European construction then maybe lmao and even that's not really true . Don't be that disingenuous. The things that actually define a genre such as arrangement, compositions, beat emphasis, rhythms, tonality, timbres, harmony choices all have a basis in black history. Hell, the most popular ragtime jingle came from Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer."

So WC Handy was a racist. Who knew?

William Christopher Handy (November 16, 1873 – March 28, 1958) was a composer and musician[1] who referred to himself as the Father of the Blues.[2][3] Handy was one of the most influential songwriters in the United States.[4] One of many musicians who played the distinctively American blues music, Handy did not create the blues genre but was the first to publish music in the blues form, thereby taking the blues from a regional music style (Delta blues) with a limited audience to a new level of popularity.[4]

All because he knew how to write music in classical form.
