If you're thinking of what I think you're thinking, it was Ota Benga who ended up taking his own life. He was the poor soul they put in the monkey cage at the Bronx zoo. Tragic, tragic story!



The 1904 St. Louis World's Fair had compound with indigenous people brought in from all over the world as examples of "lesser" races. Just sick!

The ultimate irony about racism is that we were all Black once, as our species originated in Africa:

George Floyd US police reform bill

“The 134-page bill, called the Justice in Policing Act of 2020, would make it easier to prosecute officers for misconduct while banning chokeholds and addressing racism.”

Will the death of George Floyd at the hands of white police officer Derek Chauvin mark a turning point in the US?

Pity the deluded who think civilization consists of civilized people.
Some stand 6ft apart, while some lie 6ft under …

We’ve got such an incredible long way to go.

If one finger-click could fix racism, inequality, disease and poverty, the next message must surely be:

“Hey – all you men: STOP hitting women!”

Totally understandable why Christopher lost his head in Boston - https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/ar...s-15329627.php
but there is a far better solution:

Can someone PLEASE lock this thread? I'm all for racial equality and can agree that some have gotten the dirty end of the stick but the DUC is NOT the place to go on about it.

[unkJE]

That’s your opinion, Jack – and we’re all entitled to have one.

I started this Thread on June 6th, after reading what Avid posted on June 1st:
http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?p...47#post2568047

So Avid, UA, Pro Tools Expert and other sites believe this issue is important to the music industry.

The DUC’s not going to “run out of ink” with this extra Thread.

But, trying to censor this is akin to sweeping the issue of Racism under the carpet, at a time when people from all over the world have stood up to call it out.

Aretha is far more eloquent:

The fight against white supremacy and male domination is embedded in America. I appreciate the democratic aspect of this forum. Ultimately what we do is inspired by communication and story telling which is what the technology we use is all about. I have found out that the whole Dolby Atmos experience is being democratized as we speak. It is available to more and more people whose voices need to be heard. I am making sure that my public school students have access and become content creators and deliverers and not just consumers.

While different viewpoints are welcome I was hoping the DUC would be the one place in this crazy world I could go to and not have to deal with this political stuff. Between this and the plandemic (does anyone really think covid-19 was an oops by the CCP?) I'm getting tired of it all.


PM me when it's over as I'm outta here for a while. Gonna make some music to help lift my spirits.

The US dictionary Merriam-Webster is revising its definition of the word racism after receiving a series of emails from a young black reader.
A woman from St Louis argued the definition fell short of including the systemic oppression of certain groups of people.
Kennedy Mitchum said she exchanged emails with Merriam-Webster for a week before an editor agreed to update the dictionary's definition.
