Funny!

Well don't wear pumps, I hear they are brutal on your feet.

I think he is a "pump" man. Many things he has posted here have been brutal on him. C'mon, wigs and pumps it is.

Well Mozart's 21st symphony is in A major, not C major, come on!

LOL!! Guilty as charged.

I have known Zoom Zoom for some time and I think he was being a bit sarcastic, hence the term "millennial racist". But, I will speak for myself. By the current standards of political discourse today, all white males above the age of 50 are considered racist. So while her tweet was funny when she mentioned the differences in the current styles of each school's band, she followed it up by mentioning people in white wigs (She wasn't talking about Booker T. Washington) and remaking the constitution. Clearly she doesn't think much of the current constitution and people wearing white wigs clearly refers to a certain group of people that wrote the constitution. Now does she actually believe what she said, or thought it was funny and it would get laughs from her audience which seems to be mostly African-American from her list of followers, I don't know. But by today's standards of discourse, her hints at race might be considered something more than a joke.

Sometimes people say things that they mean't to be funny and but it doesn't read that way. There are several post in this thread that could be interpreted in another light. But I know them as well and don't believe they mean't it in that manner.

T , you are reaching big time in your defense of zoom. i personally dont think he needed one, but to address your points, the only thing that was clear, was her saying UL band selection is old and outdated. and because she first referenced Mozart , she then followed up with the men who wrote the constitution, which was in the same time period. as i said in a earlier response, it was a funny and cleaver tweet. as for white wigs and such, again those men who wrote the constitution style is old, and the constitution itself is old and outdated for 2018 untied states. thus its been ratified and amended since the original was written.

I'm constitutional conservative. I don't believe it needs to be updated for 2018 period. This country has had a history of self correcting from slavery, women's rights to civil rights. But had the ruling class lived by the very words in the Declaration of Independence, self correction would have never been necessary. We can debate this another day, but I cringed when I hear it needs to be amended. To what, for whom? Will we still have a Constitutional Republic or a Democracy? Questions for another day.

What you say i true. Also, 200 years from now people will still be listening to Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov and others. The music of today be it C&W, Rock, Rap or what ever..... not so much.

I didn't take it as a racial comment. People are so sensitive and PC these days.

I think we are now a representative democracy rather than a democracy or republic. The government has overstepped its bounds, as far as state rights go, too often to consider ourselves a true republic.

I believe the Constitution is a living document and can and should be amended, if needed. That's what the framers thought, obviously.

You put some thought to your reply and I appreciate that. All I saw was "wigs" old school, versus what's popular and nothing more. The choice of UL's music has been knocked for years on this forum and that was hilarious IMO. I just thought drumline, when I saw her comment. I have a feeling that UL's band will kick it up a notch this year and I'm looking forward to it.

You think or believe? State's Rights are concern when it comes to a strong centralized Government. But I prefer the ideal of a strong Constitutional Republic that defends the sovereignty of Americans against our Government and all international government bodies or organizations,and not some form of Democracy.

Nope, that is not what the framers thought. Nor is it obvious as you claim. This has and continues to be debated between Conservatives and Progressives almost daily.
