Shaka Khan spear. To twerketh or not to twerketh

Diversity is everything, or so I was lead to believe..... 🙃

For who It’s bloody rubbish!

Might make it slightly more interesting if it's the same gibberish...

Fight sexism and racism, with sexism and racism...

All black. ? But if there was a all white it would be deemed as racist..im amused

The thing is now though out of fear of been labelled racist or toxic people will instantly think they are amazing. I'll give them a chance if they are shit then they are shit.

Crap.

Yawn zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

These idiots cause the fraction In society . They wonder why so much antagonism is on the rise. They will not be happy till it blows up into a dangerous civil war

So if it was an all male white theatre it would be on worldwide news non stop as a major discrimination event! Is everyone keeping quiet cause the word black is used?

So predictable nowadays, not groundbreaking at all in these woke times zzzzzzz

That sounds like discrimination

Are they, aye?

Sounds a bit racist and sexist to me.

That's racist too.

Why? Are any blacks actually included within Shakespeare pieces? I am not aware of any, only Europeans, so the precision of Shakespeare does not need this irrelevance. Otherwise it would be factually flawed and no-one wants that.

Is this cultural appropriation ?

The Meghan Markel effect. More to come.

Isn’t this what’s now know as Cultural appropriation

Wrong on so many levels....

Is this good-racism as opposed to plain racism and good-sexism as opposed to plain sexism?

How predictable and frankly boring.

You can get why people may ask why, given:

And WHY NOT. WELL DONE LADIES.

Why only black? What about the other ETHNIC MINORITIES in this country? And the black people have the nerve to call others racists?

I get it, you have to be black to view the play

What would the inverse be?

Surely this is cultural appropriation? Oh silly me, only white people can be guilty of that. And of course, if there were a white theatre group or white music awards that would be racist.

all white, all male theatre company acceptable as well? so misandry & racism is being allowed? is it heterophobic as well?

Shrill Shakespeare ? I'll pass
