Why Hitler banned jazz … “Jazz was much more than just a creative pastime; in fact, people saw jazz as the "essence of the era's modernism," a strong surge toward greater equality and emancipation, posing as a perfect advocate for a democracy in Germany. With its debonair, carefree interdependence on chorus-line culture of the cabarets of Berlin, some dubbed jazz as the "incarnation of American vitalism." Yet, despite the liberal attitudes of the Weimar democracy, the public and private sentiment toward blacks, including African Americans, was ambivalent; there was a lack of black jazz musicians in Germany. Regardless of their social situation, the deeply engrained and institutionalized “racism” of German society was not tolerant of blacks. [the author is mixing up Weimar with Germany. Hard to say what kind of “racism” they mean] For instance, many nationalistic student fraternities rejected student members who were colored or married to colored females. Furthermore, in 1932, all the conservative musicians and critics were denigrating jazz as a product of "Negro" culture, which provided the government the fodder to forbid the hiring of black musicians. One critic even went as far as to call jazz a mere "negro noise," having only one purpose: "to introduce obscenities into society." The Nazi regime pursued and banned the broadcasting of jazz on German radio, partly because of its African roots and because many of the active jazz musicians were of jewish origin. Jazz was found as an uncommon link between the blacks and jews. jews at that time were recognized in jazz, not just as musicians and composers, but also as commercial managers, 💥serving as the middlemen of the music. After the Great War in Germany, Negrophobia coalesced with the preexisting anti-Semitism and flourished, especially since jews were often depicted as having a racial affinity with blacks, possessing similar objectionable qualities. [no, because jews use blacks as their golems to destroy society] jews were prevalent figures in new art forms such as jazz, cabaret, and film. Often, a great number of jazz band leaders were jews, many from Eastern Europe, including Bela, Weber, Efim Schachmeister, Paul Godwin, and Ben Berlin.” [sabbatean frankists] https://www.stormfront.org/forum/t1184013/
