The main thing that's racist is that most celebrated classical pieces are from Europeans. But that's because whites were wealthy and Africans really weren't. I don't think Africans that stayed in Africa and didn't become slaves documented their music. I could be wrong. Anyway, the fact that whites are disproportionately celebrated is due to their disproportionate dominance in documenting music throughout history. Kind of hard to call this racism. It's just fractions. What's racist is slavery and all that stuff that happened to keep black people disenfranchised.

Well said

I know the video is going to touch upon the tritone and the white Anglo Saxon church, but I feel like looking at it through that angle and using it to build that case is being dishonest to the actual science and study of naturally occurring phenomena within sound waves

The tritone would be something that naturally occurs as a part of the harmonic series and the fact that a white religious institution dubs it as something unholy wouldve meant it wouldve had to have existed before anyways to begin labeling it as such

before sheet, even if another instrument used an entirely different base for the creation of music that tritone wouldve existed.. somewhere >_>

I understand that music wouldve taken form in the shape of a former image - but after playing many I-IV-Vs I think that was the combination because it simply sounded good to the ears regardless
