Music Theory, White Supremacy and African Dance

https://www.youtube.com/embed/j2fhoD2JGmY


So this video clip is a response to the songs theory. and also white supremacy video clip that Adam Neely did a little while ago I assume it was like a year or. 2 ago. Adam Neely is speaking about in his video exactly how even songs theory comes from this white. racial lens. I would certainly say that even African dance now is largely interacted with in the United. States via this white racial lens. I'' m a white individual who'' s component of the West African drumming. and also dance neighborhood in northern The golden state. The particular bigotry that we have in our area. is a lot different from the obvious white supremacy of Heinrich Schenker that speaks about in his video clip.. I would certainly say that we'' re a lot more along the lines of the white supremacist surrounding individuals that. Phil Ewell discusses because video clip. The white preeminence that I see one of the most in my neighborhood. is focused more in the direction of African-Americans than it is Africans. There'' s this really intriguing. sort of pretension where white individuals, we often tend to fetishize or ...

Put on a pedestal - the African. educators that we have. At the very same time discreetly disrespecting, or sometimes even directly,. disrespecting or showing a disrespect in the direction of the African-American individuals in our. areas. Lots of times when I'' m talking with my buddies'I ' ll listen to opinions and also blatant. intolerance in the direction of the viewpoints of African-Americans and also the experiences. that they'' re having within black songs. There'' s a pair examples that I can point. you to of black women ... black African-American ladies talking on the experiences of racism that. they'' ve had on the dance floor in various locations. Afterwards, viewing those things, getting. reactions from my white pals that are doubting or demeaning or not showing. regard in the direction of those experiences - I watched this actually beautiful video clip. that I'' m going to link to down below called "" The Lightening of African Dancing"" which. describes generally the historic context for exactly how African dancing showed up in the United States.. In the 90s and also 2000s it was usually, an art kind that African-Americans and other black. individuals got involved in.Slowly over the

years, it ' s end up being whitened. That is to claim even more white people. are participating, and co-opting it, and making it their very own point. We as white folks have work to. do around first acknowledging how our brightness is affecting our connection to this music - in. several instances our ability even to examine it all, as well as to definitely monetize it and also generate income. off of it and also turn it right into youtube networks, for instance, of us revealing our expertise in very. public means in an effort to monetize them. Even every one of these things are items of white superiority in. activity. Just the chance to do that without a 2nd representation as to why we'' re doing it or the. means in which we'' re doing it. Another item of this is demonstrating understanding and also mentor. understanding without giving respect back to the locations where it came from. Without offering regard. to our instructors. I truly highly advise that you take a look at the songs concept and white supremacy. Okay, with that I ' ll. Take care, have a good day. Okay, with that I ' ll.
