Maybe since everyone thinks racism can only apply to white people.

But he also wrote from a white male perspective and through a white male gaze, and caused the associated harm. That harm has to be considered along with the rest.

Apparently, being white and having the perspective of a white male is "causing harm"

Im not going to read all that but one thing I saw when skimming through is that she believes if she promotes her brothers work it could mean that someone else might not get a chance basically.

I hate that she is treating art like a zero-sum game. If her brothers works are really that good then I want to see/hear them.

Some people really unnecessarily overthink these things.

I don't have an issue with people wanting to think about it and be more mindful. I hope the introspection leads them to seeing it's unnecessary in this case

What the hell is up with people working so hard to make a show out of taking the extreme moral high ground at all costs, to the point of being absolutely ridiculous?

She's struggling with her brother's legacy because he's... white? What the fuck.

I don't even think we should call it an "extreme moral high ground." The point at which she considered burying her brother's legacy because he was white is the point at which we need to consider that no different than good old-fashioned racism. Saying that it's some sort of performative attempt to be moral implies that her perspective is in any way shape or form right, and it isn't.

Honestly, it's wrong to profit off your dead brother. If this was for funeral costs then fair, I guess.

How do you figure? If she's the keeper of his music after his death, then he probably wanted it this way.

If your siblings could make money off your art after you were dead, why wouldn't you want them to? Assuming they aren't doing it disrespectfully
My brother is an asshole who probably would try something like that.

Art is notorious for this posthumous staving artist rich corpse bullshit.

I guess I should make a living will with my siblings far low on the list.

If this guy gave his sister the copyright then I guess I retract.

Jesus christ,

The only thing that people want is for white people 1. Not to be racist, 2. help fight against racism, 3. listen to minorities when racism happens.

Thats it!.

Good lord, some of the stupidest shit I've ever read and it's all serious. People are so damn extreme it's ridiculous. You can honor and promote your white brother's work and also promote the work of minorities. Having "new voices" to listen to doesn't mean silencing all of the older ones.
