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 its ok for WHITE peoples to sing negro spirituals while the instructor talking bout these songs dont 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 choirs black conductor reportedly told the audience that the selections were American songs performed for everyone and have no ethnicity.

THe liberals and our education system has done tremendous harm, raising up a generation of minorities that are incapable of handling the slightest micro-aggression. Here the n-word, they can no longer be educated, here a white person singing a song, and they are in tears.
Why would any person want to give others that kind of power of them?
So, was proudly black Shaylee wearing a blonde or red wig while getting “triggered?”
Well when blacks stop appropriating our culture I might begin to recognize they aren’t incredible racist hypocrites.
“Ah’ve beeen-too thee mawwwn-taaannn...”
OK, Buttercup.
You can keep your “black spiritual” songs and all of us white folk will keep our stuff. By that I mean everything created by a white person, including but limited to the following:
Electricity
Television
Movies
Computers
Internet
Cell phones
Baseball
Basketball
Football
Volleyball
Softball
Track and field
Indoor plumbing and toilets
Airplanes
Trains
Automobiles
Colleges/Universities
The list is endless.
If it were not for white people, you would still be in Africa, barefoor, starving, ignorant,living in a straw hut with dirt floors, crapping in a hole in the ground, hunting rodents with a spear while trying to avoid becoming lunch for lions.
So FU, Buttercup. And you’re welcome.
I always thought the spirituals were expressions of Christian faith; impromptu folk signs that became timeless hymns that were written down after the civil war by trained musicians so they would not be lost. Songs of faith and hope intended for every believer; songs intended to celebrate the Christianity.
But did your dog die?
My cat. Actually two of them.
So this means that blacks should not be allowed to use cell phones, drive cars, listen to Beethoven, read or
enjoy the fruits of capitalism.
Because without the white people they
hate, these things would not exist.
Maybe the student should stop attending a “white” school. Plenty of HBCUs out there.
Haters gotta hate and look for reasons to be offended. I’d wager auditions were open but no takers.
I must be racist somehow, or maybe I get the Magic Free Pass because the music teacher was Black.
I tried to say this in my comment but
this is perfect!
I’ve actually told black people most
of that list. They do not like that.
But they cannot think of any response
or argument.
Hypocrites do not like being revealed.
Should blacks be allowed to straighten their hair? Isn’t that White appropriation:-)
My grand daughter once said, “Grandpa, I’m boring” but she was about two years old at the time.
I also have a license to sing the blues. Because Im good at it.
I’m banned from singing at several churches.
“Shaylee Faught”
And lost, apparently.

But did your dog die?
Yeah...he died...he up and died...after 20 ywars I still grieve.
Yeah. I wont be going to any of those plays that have been culturally appropriated to pretend that another ethnicity was there.
Well gosh....should Black people sing White music?
Last I checked, nobody owned music. It is common to all mankind and knows no creed or color or race - only talent.
Blazing saddles is still awesome and still cracks me up.
The funny thing is the morons don’t realize it was making fun of racism.....pointing out how stupid and ridiculous it is. Then humorless Neo Puritan PCers come along who have no sense of humor and fail to recognize great humor when they see it even though it (far more effectively) fights against the same things they claim to be fighting against.
