This is just name calling and doesn't address any of the points, which are all valid - for anyone who pays attention to music.

- hntroll999 6y agoIt's not just name-calling, it's accurately naming somebody's fallacy. The actual process that goes on with music and all other phenomena is that they change and eventually "die" in that nobody cares about them anymore. It happens with everything, and there is no villain.

- hntroll999 6y agoHN has really become despicable. If people had integrity or guts, they'd take my comment apart and show everyone how wrong it was. But they can't do that, so they just hide what I said. Don't you feel ashamed? Why are people so afraid to put the strength of their ideas to the test? I really pity people who would put their hand over the mouth of someone calling out fashionable racism for what it is.
