you're right that is where the problems arise...it's my hope someday mankind will change this and realize that it could be a means to understanding...instead of creating wedges, confusion, hate and wars...wwwill wrote:I agree. I should clarify. I think you don't like to associate people that LISTEN to a certain type of music with a certain ethnicity/culture.
Just because you are not a middle easterner doesn't mean you aren't allowed to enjoy/make middle eastern music.
Albeit that if you are not in tune with that culture your attempts to ake that type of music my be considered less "authentic". This is where the problems arise.

The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

You are trying to point out that since they are not black or gay, then that is evidence that their music was not Disco, even though it was structured like disco.

I am not saying anything about how white people can't do this or that, just that disco was a black and gay thing first and foremost. That's not my opinion, that's fact.
oh JESUS!!!
i have never before seen someone get it ASS f**king BACKWARD so many bloody times in a row!
are you trying to be an assbag, or are you really that carelessly inacurate on a consistent basis? it's a wonder some people even survive as long as they do. honestly, careful you don't drown in the next rainstorm that comes along, m'kay?

What did I say that chapped your arse so?
You seem mighty sensitive to the subject at hand(for some reason) and fail to be specific.
If you wish to negate what I say then do so with some subject matter for crying (whimpering) out loud.
You’re the kind that likes to point out misspelled words to get your point across but fail to say anything with substance.
