Safe?
ketan said:There is also structural discrimination up here in Canada that disproportionately affects Indigenous and Black people; but politicians seem to have an easy time pointing at the US and suggesting that things aren't that bad here.In terms of racism, the US of A is a get-out-of-jail-card for most countries. The combination of a recent history of slavery and armed police that routinely shoot & kill people is hard to top (hello Israel). The thing that bugs me about Kapernick taking a knee was that from what I read, no white players joined him, which really gives the impression that WASPs at least, just don't give a fuck about anything that doesn't affect them directly, even though you watch BLM marches and this is disproved. Football in England has problems with racism, but no problems finding famous players of any colour willing to speak out about it or show solidarity. Thinking about the Michael Jordan doc and his refusal to endorse a black Dem politician on the grounds that Republican voters buy sneakers too... think that pretty much sums up the problem. Racism is so central to the US that famous sportsmen are unwilling to make a commerical/financial risk alienating the richer white demographic over something that in other countries NOT speaking up about would tar their profile.
Seriously, could you imagine Wayne Rooney saying "I'm not going to wear a Kick It Out armband" or some shit? Unthinkable. The reverse is true in USA: don't want to offend racists.

Beat making
Was trying to make a segue in a mix from the well-known DJ Krush tune, and thought I'd play about with the sample source and ended up with this:
<iframe width="100%" height="300" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" allow="autoplay" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/819732199&color=#ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true"></iframe>

Still not satisfied with my levels/mastering, but like the beat.
