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 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.”

"“We as a collective are appalling 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.”"
Apparently grammar is not the forte of the BSU
So racism is OK for her but not for others.
White people are only allowed to curl up and die. After leaving their money to blacks of course.

This statement is an example of the ignorance that has been allowed to occur on the Western Michigan’s campue.
I’ve done it. I also sing the blues. I have a license to sing the blues since I’ve lost jobs, spent a short time in jail, and my woman done me wrong.
Notice how “woke” cultural Marxism is ascendant, and these people completely ignore the Bible’s teaching of “speaking the truth in love” and “neither Jew nor Greek, but all are one in Christ.” We are very close to the end of our civilization.
Why are they not HONORED that “black” music is sung by everyone?
Some in the black community act like immature brats. Maybe they should take off the “white” clothes they appropriated? Maybe not use those $$$$ they appropriated? Why does “appropriation” only go one way?
God is a racist...
Is the same black student that was triggered when white people won a MLK essay contest.
Only because no black people entered?
But it was ok when Hillary drawled how she didn’t feeeel nooo waaaays taarrd , in a parody of a black accent. So when is it ok for whites to do this, and when is it racist?
Is it ok if politicians do it to prove they are down with the struggle and all that, but not for anyone else?
What about an Italian conductor leading an orchestra that’s playing a piece by Wagner??
Irony is our strempf!

The collective had it right. They are not appalled. They are indeed appalling.
LOVE IT. HA HA HA HA!!!
Doo dah.
Doo dah.
As a white man, I agree that whites should give up rap entirely. It makes whoever participates in it stupider by at least 20 IQ points.
I also have a license to sing the blues. Because I’m good at it.
Freaking...one of my all time movies!!!
