Our camp plays a healthy dose of music peculiar to the African American urban demographic. That's a small part of how our theme camp embraces racial diversity.

so wait:Simon of the Playa wrote:but what if you're half-blueish?
if you're half blueish, someone in your family must have been full blown, blue.
So, whether blue, or blown, half or full, your ending is what matters, happy or not. yes?
The contradiction, it seems, comes that if you're fully blown, your even more blue, which seems at odds with common sense, no?

Ah, but you might be rubbing up against the exploitation of african american talent for the entertainment of white folks thing. Jews and gay men metaphorically live in that ghetto, too.CornMan wrote:Our camp plays a healthy dose of music peculiar to the African American urban demographic.

Now don't get pissed. Deep breath and roll with things. There's some wild and offensive things that may or may not be said here, and it's best to take it all in stride.littlebird wrote:DrewDubious wrote:Whatever it is, I bet it has a killer beatThank you for making me laugh.

Re: Does your theme camp embrace racial diversity?
Touchy touchy. I lifted those words from the lyrics of "Don't try to lay any boogie woogie on the king of rock and roll" by Long John Baldry.
"It's a kind of jazz-rhythm music
Peculiar to the American Negro"
He was talking about early rock and roll. And I made it politically correct no less!

Yes on that. You have to be really, really, extremely sensitive about the subject. Even Obama can't win when he mentions it.FIGJAM wrote:You can get pissed if you want, but there's no point.

Just in case littlebird is the one on the left, dogs are not allowed at Burning Man, as I have been repeatedly informed, even cute white ones.

Re: Does your theme camp embrace racial diversity?
When some German folk/polka songs play from our media card catalog of the music for our podcast at some regional functions, people will say, "What the fuck is that?!!!" with no sensitivity whatsoever. Not that that means anything, but interesting nevertheless. They would never dare say such a thing about the African folk songs, which we also have on our podcast/broadcast.

in this case the rainbow was meant to represent the rainbow coalition, which spans the full spectrum of skin color.
