Guess what’s racist now? Liking a cover song originally done by a black artist!

WAPO douchebag pretending to find racism in the fact that Luke Comb’s cover of Tracy Chapman’s smash hit “Fast Car” is successful. Claims that Tracy could never have had that success on the country charts.
Well…… Tracy Chapman was not a country artist. Megadeth would never make it big on the country charts either. Twitter users pointed out that she was nominated for 7 Grammy awards and won 2 so let’s not pretend Tracy Chapmans version of “Fast Car” (which I love BTW) was unappreciated.
And of course Darius Rucker was immediately and enthusiastically accepted as a country artist.
Luke Combs' 'Fast Car' success marred with 'complicated' racial debate: Washington Post
A Washington Post reporter insisted that Black queer artist Tracy Chapman would have “almost zero chance" at the achievement Luke Combs had with her song.

Bunch of hypocrites ! Ya think Tracy Chapman is upset ? She wrote the song and will make big $$$ since Luke recorded it.
According to Billboard's estimation, Luke Combs' rendition of the song has generated a minimum of $500,000 in global publishing royalties.
The majority of these royalties go directly to Chapman, as she owns both the writers' and publisher's share of the song.

From the article:
“In a statement to Billboard, Chapman remarked, "I never expected to find myself on the country charts, but I’m honored to be there. I’m happy for Luke and his success and grateful that new fans have found and embraced ‘Fast Car.’"”
Seems she doesn’t feel like a victim of racism.

Guess what’s racist now? The outdoors!

CA college professor thinks being a Taylor Swift fan racist, thinks that KC Chiefs winning SuperBowl is white supremacy. She also thought Jussie Smollet was innocent so she’s probably just a dumbass

Lincoln Center cancels Mozart and goes woke — based on a historical lie
Lincoln Center began promoting a story in 2020 that a vibrant black community known as San Juan Hill had been deliberately snuffed out in the 1950s to make way for its creation.
nypost.com
Lincoln Center and I guess Mozart.
As the article explains, the premise is that a black neighborhood was bulldozed to build
Lincoln Center. The article explains that the black neighborhood had come and gone and at the time of construction the population was 3:1 white.
Mozart cancelled because:
“Shanta Thake, the center’s chief artistic officer, pledged to “really confront our past head-on as we move into the future” by “opening this up and really saying that this is music that belongs to everyone” — implying, of course, that Mozart does not belong to everyone.”
The music “that belongs to everyone” that they used to replace Mozart:
“will lead off with “the debut duet of two superstar queens from the blockbuster reality competition ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race,'” followed by “Argentinian queercore,” comedians of “Indian heritage” and “silent disco.”
Just fucking awful.
