This week we talked about the hip-hop and rap culture. I had watched a documentary, and during this documentary I found out that many people were offended by white people and how they mocked the black culture. Many people were interviewed and asked to give their opinion on the subject and many of them said the same thing. They felt as though they were being made fun of and it was wrong for them to do what they were doing. I agree and when I learned more about “blackface” which was a show where a man wore black makeup and portrayed himself as a black man and making jokes and singing racist songs. This baffled me and I couldn't believe that people would laugh and egg this on.
This is a blog devoted to the ideas and analysis of BSU students as they discover, listen, read, analyze the works of various musical artists, across various genres, whose music centers on political, social, and/or cultural issues. The ultimate goal of the class, other than focusing on the students' writing skills, is to allow them the space and time to express their own opinions and ideas, to expose them to music that can and has made significant change.
