&#x27;Straight white guy festival&#x27; causes controversy

Original post by TheAnusFiles

Nope. It was German kraut rock that pioneered the use of synthesisers. And the mechanics of music that are used to day such as keys, and time signatures are European

Maybe we are talking about 2 different things here cos... Rock N Roll(50s) movement started before German Kraut Rock(60s). Tinie Tempah, is not use influenced by Kraut Rock, so I don't understand the relevance :confused:

Maybe the "black youth" demographic should not commit crime at a rate 8 times higher than their white counterparts then.

According to who? I'm not responsible for the actions of those who look like me and deserve to be treated as an individual.

Oh? Last I heard, the British Film Industry was telling filmmakers that if they did not have a minimum of 30% of "diversity" (read: non-white), they would be denied funding.

Oh. You read the dailymail? Do you really think this is significant in the grandscheme of things. Why do think such a program would need to be created in the 1st place?

That would be down to individual landlords exercising their own free will to choose their tenants, however as you can see the state has declared discrimination on grounds of race to be illegal so it is hardly systematic.

Yet it still happens.

In 1951 there were ~20,000 non-whites in the UK the vast majority of which were born abroad. It is natural therefore to assume that a non-white is either a recent immigrant or a descendent of recent immigrants. Not proud of your ancestry?

Nope sorry. There is a stigma attached to immigration. Now more so than before. You may find the assumption justified, fine, I don't find it appropriate to be asked if I'm an immigrant on the basis of my skin color alone.

I do agree with you on that. I just don't agree with it being the driving factor of the state of the music industry. I'm not putting all the blame on the consumer, because I think it's deeper than that.

To whitewash more black genre as they did with Jazz & Rock N Roll. The way that they crowned Elvis the King of Rock N Roll is similar to how Forbes claimed that Iggy Azelea runs hip hop or when BBC 1xtra named Ed Sheeran the most important act in urban music.

I't could be argued though that "black music" upon its financing. was never really intended for black audiences.

like the jazz musicians would play for white crowds in white clubs that black people were banned from. after the black performers had danced and sang and played their music they were sent to the basement.

it may have been music that started as black. but it would have remained local unless white financiers got behind it.

also as far as rock and roll went. black people at large hardly supported it. the black evangelical/pentecostal scene damned all rock and roll and accused the likes of tommy or robert johnson of selling their souls to the devil.

the music industry hasnt really changed since.
black church types have changed from smearing other black artists as satan worshipers and now instead claim the likes of jay z and beyonce to be illuminati. serves the same purpose.

black artists are still selected for white audiences. hence why pan african conscious rap is rarely financed. although i think a lot of that is because it sucks cuz the artists are all incredibly full of themselves. i think the only modern pro black rap group that was good was dead prez and even they started sucking by their third album.

but you will notice the selection for black dancers in music videos is exactly the same as the selection of black dancers was for colour bar (meaning whites only) jazz clubs in the early 1900s.

the male dancers were allowed to be more varied in skin tone. the women though had to be "tall tan and terrific"

notice in music videos how the girls that always have their faces focused on for beauty are nearly always "tall tan and terrific" and darker skinned girls never have their faces focused on as a focus of beauty. take for example

the girls literally have their faces covered if they're dark.

and I agree there is a whitewash. that's why i don't like calling it "urban music" i always call it "black music"

but i think maybe theres an issue with black music mainly being tailored to black women.

like. please let me know if im wrong. but i can't think of a thriving music scene where its predominately black men. like heavy metal is for white men. i can't think of any comparison. it seems to be that black events is usually women turn up and the men go for the women. like even someone like young jeezy has at least 50% women turning up if not more to his events.

Illuminati conspiracies haven't done much for the perception of Beyonce an Jay Z within the black community. Black people are still the majority of their fanbase, so I'm not quite sure where you are going with that one.

Not at all. Hip Hop black artists will always be targeted towards the black community first and foremost. The real reason why political Hip Hop isn't financed is because the music industry would rather feed blacks drugs, violence & misogyny, they want to perpetuate nastiness in the black community. Yet Macklemore was free to do political hip hop for white people and got massive support.

but i think maybe theres an issue with black music mainly being tailored to black women.

Not really. Hip Hop music can be very aggressive and misogynistic. RnB used to be more romantic and sensitive but the biggest most recent RnB song has the chorus "These hoes aint loyal", so I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one.

With all the hatred directed at straight white males by the politically correct power structure, it was only a matter of time until people started rebelling against it. This doesn't sound real though. Sounds like a satire.

I'm praying to God that you're taking the piss and that you're not actually that ****ing stupid.

No they didn't pioneer grime, but Kraftwerk pioneered electronic music and changed the scene forever. Pop music owes them as much as the Beatles.

beyonce and jay z are international. i dont think their fan base majority is black anymore.
i know certainly the crowed that turned up to jay z's concert in london a while back was largely white and middleclass. it even made the news.

well history tells otherwise. hip hop black artists have not been intentionally marketed to black audiences since the 90s. i'd say after 1995 pretty much most marketing was done towards white boys in the suburbs who listen to wu tang clan.

and yes i agree thats the point i was making. white media editors will not encourage pro black music.

slipknot call their fans maggots.

just because music isnt "nice" doesnt mean it isnt directed to that audience.

upside down by dianna ross "respectfully i say to the, im aware that your cheating, but no one makes me feel like you do."

even back then rnb wasnt all nicey nicey.

also uve just proven that rnb which is still obviously intended for women has its most popular song as "these hoes aint loyal" which is quite misogynistic. yet its still targeted towards a female fanbase.

but I am curious. can you tell me a scene that is to black men what heavy metal is to white men?

Sorry to burst your bubble. Hip Hop, Grime & House were predominately black movements and were not influenced by Germans in anyway shape or form. Try again.
