This thread was not long for the world. Hoofer was the only "employee" on hand when it got hidden from the public.
The article in question (as if any of them read it):
Vaughn
My guess - it's the European influences that drove a lot of Classical music. That and... you know, the R word.
... and the Shiites chime in to confirm the second part of Vaughn's observation.
Culpa:
DRM appears to support separate but equal:
Pawnmower makes a contribution to intelligent discourse:
GlassPepper: dog whistler or just oblivious?
Terrapin Station thinks that racism in US culture is a thing of the past:
DRM will not be contributing to the NPR Fall fundraiser:
Suddenly it's always 1619.
It's NPR. Who would never in a million years contemplate asking, "Why is American jazz, American boogie-woogie, American soul, American rhythm and blues, American blues, American early rock and roll, American funk, American hip hop, and American rap so black?
yeah, this is stupid
The root of all music was prehistoric ape like humans smashing rocks together in rhythms.
Racism was part of US culture, and permeated everything.
Racism only extends as far as people thinking about things in a racist way. That excludes a huge amount of actions, events, etc.

Nice try but I can't imagine NPR is looking for the positive side of Race and music. If their narrative isn't propagated.
Is Terrapin Station black? (not that there's anything wrong with that...)

Vaughan, if you are here, have an internet aspirin. Your head must hurt after banging your head against *that* wall.
If you look at Classical music, the education you needed, the access to musicians, the access to concert halls, etc. I think it's clear racism would have been a component.
I think it's rather clear that it almost never was for the last 50-something years, for example.
Or were they only doing a historical piece?
I first entered school as a theory/composition major with a classical emphasis (to which I later added a jazz emphasis, too) almost 40 years ago, so I have some experience with that world.
