"“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
I loved what the conductor said and did: “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.”

I think Shaylee is an “expert”.
Should African Americans play guitars and pianos. That is the big question. Lot of cultural appropriation there

Negro spirituals are for blacks only now. How racist.
But for Blacks to grab Hamilton and Little Orphan Annie is OK. ?
People love those songs because they are some very beautiful songs.
If they are spiritual songs, they were always Gods songs before any one ever sung a single one of them.
SJW=NAZI
Yeah, I went there.
This stuff has to end.
I am so sick of this ridiculous victim status, blatant racism, and utter stupidity! The only proper response to the asinine triggering complaint starts with the letters

Oh no! Can we still eat BBQ, fried chicken and catfish? Is that ok?
He said “negro” in the article. I thought that was the “n” word?
Democrats are evil.
No one knows who wrote the song or when it was done. It first received notoriety when it was first published in New Jubilee Songs as Sung by the Fisk Jubilee Singers in 1901, 35 years after the end of the civil war by John Wesley Work II. It is one of the songs featured in Alvin Ailey’s 1960 signature ballet, Revelations, and an instrumental hit in 1966 for the Ramsey Lewis Trio, which prompted further instrumental recordings by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass and Billy Preston in 1967. The first commercially recorded version of the song was released by Paramount Records (sung by Sunset Four Jubilee Singers in 1925), as “Good News Chariot’s Coming and Wade in the Water”. It is just a song, but it has further meaning that was established prior to it being used as part of the movement of the underground railroad.
The song relates to both the Old and New Testaments. The verses reflect the Israelites’ escape out of Egypt as found in Exodus 14. The chorus refers to healing: see John 5:4, “For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.”
It may have been used for the purpose of assisting the slave through the underground railroad, but it was something else first and cannot be captured and kept. It can only be borrowed. The Black Student Union needs to be more mature.

I had a black music teacher at an extremely white rural school. We were racist and ignorant. He was well educated and patient. He very stealthy taught us Negro spirituals. He put on a Christmas musical that brought the entire high school to its feet and cheering.
Somehow he also introduced us to classical music, and funk!
I didn’t realize until years later how hard it must have been for him and how lucky we were to have him.

Using this logic, white people should avoid all black run businesses too.
Let’em go. They (black folk) are going to hang themselves ultimately with their stupid demands.
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.
