Shit. Not in the least surprising, but still.
When the “American” government cuts off the study and promotion of AMERICAN music, you have to wonder what they really stand for.
Please support the AMS if you can.

Trump’s closing message is a full blown hate campaign against black and brown people. Historians will look back in astonishment that this terrifying reality wasn’t the subject of wall to wall coverage and commentary in weeks leading up to this election. He’s not hiding anything.

Watch how @nytimes.com (knowingly or not?) abets and amplifies Trump's aggro-masculinist worldview.
Note the masculine-feminine coding in @nytimes.com headlines on Trump (“blunt force”) vs Trudeau (“emotional”). The gendered coding of the US vs Canada is reinforced by the imagery of fist-pumping Trump vs Trudeau’s strained face and open palm.

Here I am at Wegmans on the first day of #BlackHistoryMonth, and so far three middle-aged white ladies have complimented my shirt. Is it possible this statement is susceptible to a 180-degree misreading?
