Harvard to host performance of re-imagined Macbeth for Black-only audience

Couldn't agree more. If the races were reversed, there would be outrage. I understand the sentiment of wanting to put on a performance that elevates your culture. But that doesn't give anyone the right to discriminate against others, not matter how well intentioned.

Has that not been the message we've been shouting to white supremacists for years (albeit in a much more subdued form)?

People trying to object to this are labelled "Racists"

At some point we have to stop, look at what we're doing, and "say this is silly and unnecessary and we can do things that make more sense"

Racism is such a simple concept. It’s baffling how blind people are to their own actions.

>...and a fresh interpretation of Lady Macbeth as an “ambitious Black woman” with a performance designed to elevate “Black female power, femininity, and desire”

I'm honestly curious how they will handle this.

A single performance art piece, comprising a building, audience, and performance, is hardly an outrageous racist action, let alone comparable to, gosh, centuries of broad and deep racism. Lordy.
