Gospel Music- should it have a celebrated month too?  | |  So I was listening and watching the news yesterday and heard about some of the "blacks" o the senate and house getting together in D.C. to celebrate gospel music month. So here is my question. We celebrate, black history month, hispanic herritage month, and many others. Do you think we should celebrate gospel music in giving it the whole month for celebration? this is the reason I talk about this because for many years there has been a seperation of religion and state. if they promote a month what is that saying. The president it doesn't matter which presidet it is says God bless America at the end of every speech. He talked about God and prayer on 9-11. So should we allow for the politicians to continue with this promotion of the music considering most of there positions about church versus state. I'm all for them celebrating music and gospel music should have it's own celebration for the fact that it was created so many years ago. i just wonder how many will justify so that is why I ask the question should it be celebrated and broadcasted by politicians that they celebrate it and would it become an issue incertain situations. i know it's probably a couple of different discussions but I just wanted to throw out there what I was thinking.

Why not celebrate satanic music while you're at it? You could argue that their way is wrong, but they would say the same about Christianity. And then why shouldn't they have their own month as well? With religion there is no absolute "right," there is only what is right for YOU specifically. There is already a "Music Week," which is meant to give recognition to all styles of music, why single one genre out?

 crysontherocks77 (533) | 3 months ago | This is why I wanted to bring this up. I'm a christain, but I also believe strongly in allowing people to make there own choice as to what they believe and as to who they believe in and what way they believe in it. i think that most of the politicians have a religious background and it erks me to see that most of go to bat when it comes to keep church seperated from state affairs especially in the schools but yet when it comes to doing a "celebration" of music they are all for showing that they are about God and religion and so on. I understand what you are saying because if you celebrate one kind then you'll have other religions coming out and saying they need to have there own month. Kind of like with holidays. You can personally make a certain day your holiday where you celebrate the kinds of things that make you who you are. you don't have to have it advertised across to the media that you are doing this specifically because its gospel music and it should be celebrated as such.
Personally, I think Music in general should have a month like say " Music Herritage Month" then this way you can have options to teach students about different types of music and the history of music and others could specifically talk about the importance that music in general plays in every one life. This is one program that they want to take out of the schools when it comes to budget cutting and people need to realize the importance of music on the world. But that is just my personal opinion. | |
