“Unlike the garbage deemed music of today such as rap, hip hop, etc., classical music has been with us for centuries, leave it alone.”
That’s the problem, they can’t leave it alone. It’s not that there is a problem with the music itself, its that it comes from dead white males. The music represents beauty, excellence and the glorification of God that was created by white (non diverse) Western Civilization that cannot be matched today. The haters of Western Civ must therefore destroy or discredit it.
You’re going to have to define classical music. I see classical music as bodies done by the masters like Bach and Chopin hundreds, possibly, a thousand years ago. And the last classical composer was Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff who died, an American citizen, in Los Angeles in 1943.
Outside of that, I can’t think of any others. So if that is the classical music you are meaning, then all they are trying to do is create another “what happened in the past” into a political agitation, not dealing with history. If the last classical composer died 23 years before the Civil Rights Acts, how can there be a comparison of failure to integrate in a field that never knew it needed to and respected all music no matter who wrote it?
