it's also so weird, there was a girl (can't remember her name) on youtube a year or so ago who made a vid talking about how she was alienated by her peers for listening to rock and emo core cos that was "white people music". the vid wasn't solely about that but that part stuck out to me the most as a musician that likes to experiment I couldn't imagine having to avoid any genres for fear of being excluded just cos my skin color is supposed to dictate how I act or what I enjoy. it's depressing as sht that apparently happens to a lot of african americans especially teens with more interests than just music taste. and now knowing rock n roll came from black culture it just is even more backwardsly fcked up. like as long as the particular artists you follow aren't soulless sellouts, copycats or awful people, why care.

Paramour had Black people in a chokehold, esp Alt Black. I can’t tell you how many Black Emo I saw growing up as a teen, Black people loving rock and other genres.

Hey Sunn, have you ever done a lecture about what Black Americans and Jewish Americans share musically? Or looked it up for fun? Context for my question: I'm Jewish, and in training to become a cantor (prayer leader, similar but more on the musical side than the rabbi). In 2018, I attended a cantors' convention, and one of the lessons I attended was on Jewish music and African American connections. It was amazing to learn just how much we shared, especially in the earlier part of the 20th Century! A lot of Yiddish/Jewish musicians and Black musicians shared their styles, so there's a lot of jazz in Jewish klezmer music, and there are some beautiful recordings of Black musicians singing Yiddish songs! Edit: I just wanted to share, 'cause sharing culture and history is such an important thing, especially when it comes to being respectful of where modern American culture came from, like you were saying in this lecture.

It was only used by Blacks to describe other Blacks. To refer to someone not Black as “woke” would’ve made no sense just a decade ago.

"Paula Dean who is a terrible cook"...... OMG- that cracked me up. That being said, I am not surprised at this history lesson. Many white people do not realize or give credit where its due. There are many blacks who invented things, blacks who build America up, blacks who provided wonderful, beautiful music, art, entertainment. And yet- we (white folks) do not embrace or appreciate all the hard work that has been done and they are continuing to do so. So are other races such as latinos, native americans and asians. I am perplexed at white people who are so rude, disrespectful, mean, abusive and have hatered toward people outside of their own culture. My Dad was a great guy, he taught me to revere to those who made music that we loved so much. (his fav- Chuck Berry) This is the same Dad who taught me to observe who the people are that the police pulled over in our very white neighborhood (1980s) and my Dad would get so angry at the police. I thank my Dad and Grandma for teaching me to honor and embrace all people of life. I appreciate all those who have done great service for America.

While I agree with what you said about Rahkim and Eminem, he has spoken on this a number of times and has admonished the industry for lifting him up where they didn't his compatriots. He's done a lot for the black artists that inspired him and has "given back to the culture" in a variety of ways. For those reasons I think he is far better than Elvis who blatantly stole from black people while giving very little back. But overall I fully agree, we had a "god MC" and while Eminem is certainly a lyrical genius, his title is surely claimed due to his popularity and marketability.

I took a class on the history of rock'n roll in college that went over a lot of this. It showed exactly how rock music was born out of the African American community and evolved other forms of "Black music" like blues and jazz, and that it was originally considered "Black music" itself. It went from there to show how it came to be considered mainstream as it got more popular with a, typically younger, white audience. It's honestly fascinating to learn about and I feel like more people need to look into it.

One thing to remember is every time music that started or was influenced in the black community that started to become popular in the white youth, was also considered satanic by the older generations. Or, immoral in some other ways. Ragtime for example was considered satanic. Mostly due to the fact that it was played on the self playing pianos, but likely also a cultural difference there that leads to it. Rock and roll? Well, we all know that. Jazz and blues? Oh absolutely was considered the devils music. Rap and hip-hop? Some consider it satanic, a lot of older white Americans consider it immoral. In the end, a lot of it can be attributed to racism, and others due to people scared in changes to the status quo. As someone who loves most genres of music, it always frustrates me when I hear history being wrong, and im grateful there are folks like you, and sunn who not only try to, but as far as I know, get the facts right in these cases.

I'm so grateful for your work, sir. The clearest and most insightful voice I'm heard on the subject, and I am listening, hard. I have a question if you're open to it. Should white people stop using Black English, in your opinion? Out of respect? Or continue to use it while acknowledging its origins? The popularity of Black English, as I've seen it, becomes more elevated amidst white circles every day. To the point that many white people I know see it simply as "Gen Z English," now, or "Internet Speak," as you put it so precisely. I've not personally witnessed any individuals calling this out as inappropriate, but it feels wrong in my bones. Not that the language itself feels wrong by any means, the language should be acknowledged and celebrated, in my opinion. But rather what feels wrong is its widespread appropriation and use by white people, with no acknowledgment of its roots, origin, or the history of white gatekeeping behind it. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts you felt called to share on the topic.
