This topic is literally about theory, not the styles of music derived from it. Music Theory in the western context is the conceptualization of music derived from a European theoretical foundation. I am not talking about styles of music. I have never mentioned styles of music derived from the theory. This topic is about the western concept of "Music Theory", which composes the bulk of formal education on music in the West. This concept has historically been inherently white supremacist as a general principle in Musical Education--in it's formulation, in it's examples, in it's praise of nearly exclusively white musicians in the tradition, in its standards, ect. Unless you are taking a jazz theory class, which was frowned upon for several decades as a lesser study in America (The literal mecca of jazz music), you are receiving an education derived from and for white people, with exemplars in the field being nearly exclusively white people.

The music is not fucking racist. I am telling you what the critical race theory criticisms actually are and you are literally ignoring the actual criticisms to talk about things that aren't apart of the actual criticisms. I don't care what your opinions are on how Jazz is a separate

I can agree with all of that because I don't disagree with it; but if you're trying to convince everyone that a perfect 5th is inherently racist then I don't know what to tell you

You're absolutely wrong, it IS the music, if it weren't for the music itself and the manner in which it propogated you'd have a bunch of foundational laws that go nowhere
