some of what is lost in this trend of blaming the white male for all ills is what significant contributions the western folk and classical musical traditions legitimately *did* make to world culture.
we *have* a culture.
it's racist to *not* acknowledge this.
the Norwegian fiddle is CULTURE
the Scottish bagpipe is CULTURE
the Gaul music of France is CULTURE
white peoples have distinct identities.
"white" is a misnomer.
it's Norwegian, German, Spanish, Michigan, Italian, Texan, South-Danish, West-American.
according to whose delusional mind did all these peoples ever unite under the label of "white"
well
truth is, only the USA has that idea.
now, allow me to dismantle this idea that pale skin colour makes you the oppressor, and that darker skin colour makes you human scum.
white Norwegian people oppressed Sami indigenous people.
they subjected them to Nazi level stuff.
they actively tried to kill Sami language and culture as a part of official policy.
our skin colours were both pale.
yet the Sami were considered trash and undesirable.
so, dismiss "black" from your thinking.
pale-skinned people can be assholes to each other too.
