Home Classical Court

From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

Sorry, tin - you don't even remember your "facts" right

My ORIGINAL comment wrt to rap music (in the thread below) was: "Why isn't there an outcry for more white people to be represented in the rap music industry?" [In the context of the outcry about more African American representation in symphony orchestras.]

The question (quoted in its entirety above - notice there's no reference to black people in it!) was part of a two paragraph post, so your claim that I was speaking only about rap music there is absolutely untrue. There's a link to the whole post below.

My post about rap music IN THIS THREAD was in response to your subject line response below to one of my posts: "Anybody that brings up rap when talking about A-A's in classical music has issues." Ah! The absolute certainty of the zealot! (More about this later.)

OK - on to the rest of the line items:

IF WE WERE SPEAKING ABOUT THE LATEST JAPANESE PIANO SENSATION AND YOU ASKED WHY I DIDN'T BRING UP SHOMYO... I'D FIND IT ODD
Huh? OK, I give you full marks for complete off-the-wallness here! ;-)

I SUPPOSE SOME FIND AMUSEMENT A GOOD DEFLECTION
Huh? Deflection from what?

YOUR ONLY COMMENT ABOUT THEM [African Americans] WAS TO BRING UP RAP. WHY DID YOU?
First of all, that's not true: you seem to have conveniently forgotten that that I also asked for your words of wisdom about African Americans living in non-slave states, as well as pointing out that many northern soldiers in the Civil War gave their lives to help rid the country of slavery. There were other comments too, but you were obviously so triggered by my reference to rap music that you couldn't think clearly - even though that comment itself (quoted above in this post) was made WITHOUT a reference to black people. All I referred to was rap music and WHITE people. It was simply an attempt to suggest looking at the situation from another (a kind of opposite) point of view. But no! We can't have that now, can we?

YOU NEGLECTED THE TWO ARTICLES AND THE THRUST OF MY POST TO OUT-OF-THE-BLUE(S) BRING UP RAP
If you're talking about THIS particular thread (rather than the thread below where my original reference to rap music appeared), then, yes, my "out of the blue" rap reference (here in this thread) was intended as a "reveal" of your own lack of knowledge about African American culture and your hypocrisy in attributing the deficiencies which you're afraid will be exposed about you to someone else (moi!). (Jung called this kind of thing your shadow.) Nevertheless my original rap post in this thread was intended to have a certain humorous aspect to it, and was taken that way (I think?) by jimbill.

OK, I think that's a. . . uh. . . wrap! Enjoy your Entremont!
