Should white people sing black spirituals?
Western Michigan University is grappling with that question after a black student was triggered and suffered a social media meltdown when a predominantly white choir sang "Wade in the Water."
"So apparently Western Michigan University thinks it's ok for WHITE peoples to sing negro spirituals while the instructor talking bout 'these songs don't belong to one race.' They sure as hell DO," WMU music major Shaylee Faught wrote on a social media post now seen by more than 1 million people.
Faught got triggered after the choir's black conductor reportedly told the audience that the selections were "American songs" performed "for everyone" and "have no ethnicity."
The performance, "Spirituals: From Ship to Shore," included songs like "Go Down, Moses" and the aforementioned "Wade in the Water."
Well, faster than you could say zip-a-dee-doo-dah, nearly the entire campus suffered a meltdown.
"We as a collective are appalling [sic] that this took place on our campus," The Black Student Union wrote in a statement. "This act is a further example and reflection of the racial insensitivity and ignorance that has been allowed to occur on Western Michigan's campus."
The BSU called for "racial reeducation on sensitivity training and cultural competence."

Good grief!! These institutions of higher indoctrination really should NOT be funded by any tax dollars, whatsoever.
Ignore, ignore, ignore....they’ll eventually get over it.
Everyday, they’re “outraged” over something.
They’re professional “outragers”.
Nobody give a good shite anymore....just ignore em.
The Race Communists are riled up.
"I just got off the phone with the bass from 'Sweet Honey in The Rock' (an African American a cappella ensemble), and her first question was, 'Has anyone looked into the mental health of the people who made those comments,'" he told the newspaper.
The conductor is standing his ground. Give him a bonus. By the way, he is black.
We will have to wait and see whether he is the only sane person on campus.
Ignore them!
Do not apologize - ever!
“Triggered” has been redefined to mean: “acting like a child”.

Selah, Shaylee.
Might this mean that blacks can't sing "Onward,Christian Soldiers"?
Yikes!
Hell is full of prideful racists who wish to castigate, scorn, and vilify people based on race/culture.
Unreal that they believe they can invoke Christian hymns into their segregation.
Obviously, we need fewer colleges and more mental institutions. There is a sizable percentage of distraught young people who would get more benefit from the latter.
I think I see part of the problem here.
Triggered...................
Why aren’t Jews “triggered” by Blacks singing songs about Moses and Jesus?
So "black" students should not sing Auld Lang Syne???
The spirituals belong to everyone! Their authorship is unknown. For all these morons know, they could have been composed by white people and adopted by black people! The entire concept of "cultural appropriation" is ridiculous.
All world culture is a mixture or currents of varying and ubiquitous origins. It belongs to everyone.
So only Russians should play Rachmaninoff? Only Mexicans should eat tortillas? What about chop suey; sorry, no Chinese, only Americans can eat it. And what about yoga? Sorry, you have to be Indian (not not that kind of Indian)--or was it Chinese--or Tibetan--or Japanese--or....
The entire concept of "cultural appropriation" is absurd--and offensive!
I find the racial crime statistics equally disturbing, given that blacks constitute only 13% of the population but commit three times as many crimes. Seems to me you have more serious problems to fix than some white people singing songs.

Ok, then. Black people, under these new rules, you can’t sing “Happy Birthday” anymore.
Should Louis Farrakhan play the violin?
