It not racist just because jazz musicians, by random historical accident, happened to mostly be black.
It is unethical, without any racism, to go looking for excuses to arrest people who play jazz. The proper response is to leave the music venue. Jazz isn't awful enough to merit such heavy-handed tactics.
- cheez 6y agoThis is exactly what it has been like talking to people about the issue of blacks being targeted...
- wetmore 6y agoI can't tell if you're being serious.
- cheez 6y agoThe comment is so well-written. This is pretty much the response I get from most people about the topic. He's not being serious.
- burfog 6y agoIt's light-hearted, but not sarcastic. Seriously, don't assume there is racism under every rock. That is a dismal, pessimistic, miserable, negative, and hateful way to go through life. Bad people exist, yes, but it is terrible to presume the worst out of every unpleasant interaction and terrible to take it as a matter of faith that the world is all about tormenting any particular group of people. Cheer up. It's good for you. Appreciate the improvement and opportunity.
- cheez 6y agoYou say this as a white person, I presume.
- djtriptych 6y agoIt's this kind of blanket denial of racism that makes life hard for blacks in this country, which is of course the point of this comment.
