Neil D Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Quote: (What do you mean by that?) I don't understand the 'dead white males thang'...so I must be older than I thought, since this is definately a recent musical reference......

cricket Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I don't think dead white male is a recent musical reference. I think it has something to do with racism, sexism and the fact that the white male is quickly losing his spot in the not-so-politically-corect-but-political-nonetheless hierarchy of this earthly kingdom. Aha! Correction. The urbandictionary.com defines it as: Dead White Men Enigmatic figures in society, often pictured on currency, credited with 90% of all wrongs in society. Dead White Men ate my father. How about you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
