Folk music, Jazz, Rock and Roll, Levis jeans, the list goes on regarding how the rest of the world has wanted to emulate American art, style and culture. We are in kind of a 'doldrums' period right now, but it could be turned around quick enough with the right people running things, and we could truly be inspiring the world again. ;)
I don't see why we need to talk about it at all. Why does race matter? It doesn't. Music. Music matters. Just play the music.
It wasn't a big change of heart. Humans always knew slavery was cruel and unfair, a horrible fate.
From before the Sumerians to the dawn of mechanization... people kept slaves all over the world.
America isn't unique, or especially at fault. The whole human race was morally bankrupt. And it's happening now, in North Korea, and Saudi Arabia, and elsewhere. Slavery isn't dead. Have a nice day.
Who are those 18 soulless, miserable, benighted oafs who gave this clip the thumbs down?
