It's something that I'd never thought twice about in the 90s and might even enjoyed the performance if they were actually good. Now that everything is about race I know that's why it's being shoved in my face. Let me guess they performed the "black national anthem" too.
No black anthem. Yeah I feel similar to you, a few years ago I wouldn't care. But since I'm already an evil cis blah blah blah might as well lean into it.
I can't quite say that I've ever seen a choir that looked this undisciplined. One of the advantages of Western sanctions against Russia is that it will now be deprived of such enrichments.
Black choirs, or perhaps just black people, all have to dance and move around. I'd seen a few such choirs as a kid growing up in the American South, and I don't think discipline is ever something they would have been known for.
Russians do seem to culturally appreciate "high-quality" arts, whatever you'd call that--meaning orchestra, ballet, opera, and the like. There's almost no respect for that in American culture. You ask someone about Beethoven, you're more likely to get told about the Disney movie.
I saw some guy on YouTube walk through a Russian mall, and all the banned stores were there with different names.
The only thing that keeps intellectual property "valuable" is government enforcement, which is a bad thing if you're a country that only produces paper and not physical products.
It's from Morgan State University, a historically-black college.
But the point remains.
I know who they are. It's kinda sour grapes me posting. I remember a few months ago Dax Shepherd posted a picture of his friend group at a dinner, and it was national news about how white it was. So I figured I would point out how black this group is. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, and normies don't care, but I needed to point it out to someone
Fair enough, but I didn't see any comments saying where they were from--I myself had forgotten Morgan State existed--so I had to give the full context.
Their skin tone coordinates with the wooden wall behind them.
Oversinging incoming.
About what I expect now. How are the Orioles doing? Rangers play tonight. I am doing fantasy baseball this year and drafted Rutschman
They're not playing baseball.
Baseball is played in open air, no domes, pitchers hitting, on real grass.
Very old school. I like it
The last several years have shown me that the old ways are the best ways.
Was looking up clips of Michael Jordan's prime. So physical, I love it.
Good Lord, almost every play in 1992 would be whistled for fouls three times over today because the rule changes have made everything that WORKS on defense illegal.
EDIT: Just found a video contrasting a game from this year against the tough, physical, non-bitching players of the 1993 All-Star Game, the latter of which doesn't fucking count for anything.
A fellow Cubs fan I see
Far from it. For one, they don't play baseball anymore.
He's got 2 singles, 2 rbis and at 1.000 avg right now.
Btm 4th - 5-1 Os right now
Nice! Yall have a dangerous lineup this year
Yeah we should be good. So you won't sweep us again
Ha! One guy on sports radio down here said be happy we got the orioles when we did
Both teams were hot at the time. We just got outplayed
Look, I'm as racist as the next guy, but are we really at the point where we're gonna complain about black people singing and dancing?
It's more about not allowing an all white choir to perform. It's about passing rules to stop white people from collectivising in anyway, while every other race is encouraged to collectivise and attack white people
Yes
did they actually call a diverse choir? or is that what you're calling it?
No one on the broadcast team called it diverse or commented on it.
