I think when people warn not to aologise, what they are actually saying is there's no point apologising because it will make no difference to these people. They smell blood, you are seen as weak, and you are already finished in their mind regardless of what you say.
Personal apologies are good manners. Public apologies are useless. Your political opponents in the public will never accept your apology. Your apology is blood in the water. The feeding frenzy commences.
I didn't know Winston was getting his own show. Good on him! And even better that he has Coleman Hughes as his first guest. Getting off on the right foot.
You can find Conservative music in the Country genre, certainly. (I count Kid Rock as culturally country.) Classical, jazz, and any pre-woke music is now felt to be conservative. It may not have been conservative when it was produced, but nostalgia has made the golden oldies conservative to contemporary ears.
I wish we could hear more people speak honestly and openly like this. Time for a new era, these cultural wars are getting me down, so thank you to you both.
I don't understand when he says it's true there are some racism in Jim crow that impacted some people but at the same time say it hasn't impacted. It's so contradicting has it or not?
Do the dead of the American Civil War factor into the formula for calculating reparations for slavery? Might there be a claim that the descendants of slaves owe reparations to the descendants of Civil War veterans and Civil War dead?
@@aliciafletcher9739 If there were no slaves, there would be no need to fight a war to free the slaves. Slaves were the necessary cause of the Civil War.
@@glennmitchell9107 The civil war wasn't to free slaves. Abolition of slavery was already underway; the slave trade had already been made illegal. The civil war was the South fighting against being required to follow federal law, n keeping the right to legally profit from the practice of slavery. True, if there were no slaves the Civil war, probably wouldn't have happened. But it's the slave owners n slave traders, that were responsible for there being slaves, not the slaves for simply existing. So, slave owners were the necessary cause of the civil war. "If there were no slaves, there would be no need to fight a war to free the slaves", is a logical fallacy. Slaves were not responsible for people's actions relating to abolition of slavery; n abolition of slavery doesn't necessitate fighting a war to achieve (Britain abolished slavery with no civil war). Reparations are owed by the State to redress an egregious injustice committed against it's citizens. They are not demanded from the descendants of slave owners, so claiming descendants of slaves should owe reparations is ridiculous.
Kid Rock is uncancellable because his very large audience agrees with his artistic (political) message. He insulated himself from the constraints of the musical industry. Do artists like Coleman Hughes and Winston just not have a large enough artistic (political) following? Are they just not popular enough?
Coleman, pertaining to your comments about a visit to a museum in NYC, and noticing that all of those commissioned pieces had just one philosophy, I recommend a book you might find of interest. Barnard grad Michelle Marder Kamhi's book of essays "Bucking the Artwold Tide -Reflections on Art, Pseudo Art, Art Education and Theory" sheds a great deal of light on the question you posed as it relates to the visual arts.
A question I can't get anyone to answer, and it's not meant facetiously: If someone is first generation mixed-race would their reparations be half or does the white half cancel the black half out and take things back to zero? Who's going to work these things out ?
So pleased to see Winston. Principled man who lost a lot for merely possessing an enquiring mind. Good luck for the future mate and, stellar guest. Can anyone guess why Kendi won't debate Coleman? Go on, I think you can.
