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?
Irony is our strempf!

The collective had it right. They are not appalled. They are indeed appalling.
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.
“triggered” is a mental creation of the Leftists in academia.
It had, rightfully, zero support socially or otherwise until then.
If “whites” should not perform spirituals known to have began in the black churches, then “blacks” have no place in “classical” music, created by a bunch of “dead white guys”, either as players of musical instruments or vocalist. Of course the latter case is idiotic as is the former case.
Copying and replicating is the greatest form of flattery, not artistic “theft”.
Musical appreciation is musical appreciation, period, no matter the origins of the music.
Can you imagine if a white student got riled up about a black choir singing classical music, or Wagner or an Italian opera? These people are sick.
Charlie Pride was not available for comment.
This is what cultural appropriation looks like:

Geez- they must really hate M&M then
But in all seriousness...
Lemme get this straight: A BLACK choir conductor tells the audience that these songs (e.g. Wade in the Water) are American spiritual songs (facts), and the campus is accused of “racial insensitivity and ignorance” ??
First all, I have BEEN to churches where this was being sung by white/black/brown folks in virtually every combination. If I were in charge of this university, this is how I would handle the matter...
Univ Dean to BSU Rep: Have a seat. Thank you. As you know, we don’t to be accused “racial insensitivity and ignorance”, and are determined to wipe it out on our campus. Wouldn’t you agree?
BSU: Of course.
Dean: And to be clear, you and your folks have a problem with people not of your skin color (i.e. white) singing songs that give honor and glory to the god of their own religion (and probably your parents and grandparents)?
BSU: Yes, we do.
Dean: Well, that sir/ma’am is the book definition of “racial insensitivity and ignorance”. I would like you, and every student who signed that stupid petition (even the white ones) off this campus. You are all hereby suspended immediately.
just my $0.02
jimjohn - OUT
Racist Democrat/Leftists acting like racists ... nothing new here.
Idiots like this make me feel like a motherless child.
I guess Marian Anderson should not be allowed to sing opera or Ray Charles sing Country music.
I’m sorry, but who died and made our College Campuses occupied territory.
If these -——— -—holes don’t like the place, get the —— out.
When I was in school, the staff ran the place, and the staff answered to a board or some other type of management entity.
