Topic: What happened to black music?

Alcoholic from Louisiana started this discussion 2 years ago #113,876

Straight out of the civil rights movement, amid racial tension and violence, we had songs like these about peace, unity, and helping others:

What is the point in arguing over black music today compared to then when literally no one here is willing to do anything about it?

Same can be said about all music idiot

Do you think they should still be singing about “massa makes me picka da cotton” for all eternity?

Why ask what the point is when you're not willing to do anything about it?

Not all music sung by black people is black

Also this is a pretty mild song

Sure. I don't disagree with any of that. But the contrast is still extreme nonetheless. I can't find any song from the sixties by a black (or a white person for that matter) about "how many niggers you killed".

Im not sure because the wording was odd

But don't songs about working in fields or picking crops exist?

Maybe I could. Can you? Thing is, though, I don't have to search for songs about "how many niggers you shot" etc. from today. This stuff is on the billboard top 100, and so on. You come across it without looking for it. That's not how it was before.

They do, but they were not part of the cultural mainstream in the 60s in the same way rap is today.

Well, Im guessing that for a long time, it felt scary for black people to show their anger. Because we enslaved them and would lynch them for winking at white women

So, your claim is that violent lyrics and misogyny in rap music today is a result of something that no one alive today is old enough to have experienced?

You seem quite upset. Why not just discuss and argue your point calmly?

After slavery, we did a lot of things to black people to make their lives worse

Also, generational trauma is real

Could you state your response to the OP clearly? Because first you seemed to be arguing in the direction that there is no difference between the music then and now. Now it seems like you aren't?

I don't want to assume you're just being argumentative, but it sounds like you're just being argumentative.

you're operating on the racist and false premise that all black music today is violent and misogynistic or that these qualities are unique or even more prevalent in "black music" vs... white music? The whole post just makes you sound like an out of touch racist cunt, which you are

I'm not making that assumption. Odd of you to say that. Maybe that's what you subconsciously believe?

> or that these qualities are unique or even more prevalent in "black music" vs... white music?
I do suspect this to be true. And so what if it is? Does that make me a racist?

Black music is a joke for Mulberry users. The fuck are you enjoying it or lending any appreciation such counter-revolutionarily drivelled nonsense pre-/post- the Uriminjjokkiri-takeover era of the H'am?
