This happens all the time throughout history, hence why so many revolutions end up with the new guys in charge every bit as tyrannical as the people they overthrew. When you’re convinced that you’re always the good guy and everyone you’re fighting is the bad guy, it’s very easy to justify repression. That’s why I admire the Founding Fathers so much. Winning the American Revolution wasn’t the impressive part. That kind of stuff has been done before. It’s the Founding Fathers deliberately acknowledging they could be just as tyrannical and limiting their own power that was monumental. George Washington knew him being King George I would be as bad as King George III, so he didn’t do that and voluntarily stepped down from the Presidency after two terms. It’s precisely for that reason why America didn’t turn out like, say, China after Mao took over or the USSR after Red October.

The problem here is the theater and many people seem to have a definition of racism that is not in line with the standard and accepted definition of racism. People will argue that racism requires some aspect of power involved and then will state that non-white people are incapable of having power.... Many other people will argue that racism is strictly prejudice/bias based on race and remains as such regardless of relative power struggles. Now we could also argue that they establish their own claim to power by the fact that they state they can control who has access to the theater and thus they do have power and are imposing a racial based restriction with their power and therefore are racist by their own definition.

If they only allow black people in their audiences, I assume they turn away absolutely anyone who’s not black, including whites, non-black Hispanics/Latinos, East Asians, South Asians, indigenous North Americans, etc.

So apparently according to these people, racism only matters if it's on a macro, societal level. This is the same sort of stupid bullshit you see where people will complain about how large corporations break laws or ethical norms, but it's okay when they and their small group of people do it, because it's on such a smaller level that it doesn't matter. Yes, it does matter, because every action that you see governments or large business do that you don't like, always boils down to the decision of 1 or 2 people. Those people are the pebble that starts rolling down hill to turn into a giant snowball. It really is sad seeing these people trying to swing the pendulum so far in the other direction. I love too that they had to take such a public stance on this. The subtle way to achieve the same thing would be to start a membership, and have a night where it's members only. And oh no, it just so happens that all the members are black. Would still be illegal, just easier to get away with. I don't know if they're really that stupid or just really want to rub people's face in it.

Me: "If you're too weak or too oppressed, I don't have to follow your rules. Stop being so weak and oppressed."

On today’s episode of “How Race plays a factor into EVERYTHING”

This all boils down to the change in definition- now people say racism is racism + power, so there can be a much more convoluted argument about what is racist and what is not. It is frustrating because the people who use this argument KNOW that they’ve changed the definition, yet act surprised that people operate off of the more universally accepted and used prior definition.

Well wait, so there is this black event that has power over allowing white people in or not. So that would mean the white people can therefore never be racist in this space and the black people will always be racist in this space. It's so easy.

Changing accepted definitions is entirely how this con is played.

You already know that this theater group is going to eventually complain about how they are not getting support from other ethnicities.

I never let racist define what is racism.

The funny thing about racism is in the dictionary both definitions are there but the first definition (which is considerred to be the most accurate) is the "classic" definition

It’s terrifying because they literally changed the definition to add the “new” definition. Same as they’ve done for the definition of “woman” too. Terrifying I mean truly. Terrifying. Once the books that have stood the test of time since they were made, are being changed, we have reached a scary time. You gotta realize, the laws use these definitions to uphold the laws. As we change these definitions, so too do the laws change. So scary.

Nothing suspicious about calling it re-education...

Wow, theater kids still acting goofy

The problem with the -ism = prejudice + power argument is that it perceives power and its dynamics as operating only in collective terms. It believes collective power dynamics are the only valid power dynamics and fails to acknowledge and account for the many ways in which "power" and authority can operate in society. It also treats power as a zero-sum game between these groups. I wonder what metric these activists use to measure "group power".

Let us remember the interview Morgan Freeman did when talked about Black History Month "Just Stop Talking About It"

"If you want to know who controls a society all you have to do is look around and see who's not allowed to be criticized"

I’m not listening to anything a woman with a cow nose ring has to say 😬☺️

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the term “re-education” heavily used by dictatorships and similar authoritarian regimes? And isn’t it widely assumed to be a euphemism for torture/brainwashing? Using a term loaded with such negative connotations seems like a bad idea if you ask me.

What a clown show we live in.

i remember in school one of the back kids were arguing over something i could not tell because i just walked in but then one of them said "your face looks like a mcdonalds cheese burger" and that was enough for him to get punched in the face and a fight between them in the mess hall i believe they call it for the lunch room. it was when i was in my preteen years which was a long time ago, i could not imagine how schools are today.

These people watch way too much Tariq Nasheed Roland Martin Colin Kaepernick & Ben Crump 🙄

Slavery is bad because one group of people where enslaved based on race where others where not based on race. Segregation was bad because one group was treated better based on race where one group was treated worse based on race. DOUBLE STANDARDS BASED ON HAVE ALLWAYS BEEN THE PROBLEM.Meaning they are the racists!

Warms my heart hearing people call bullshit on this crap. Keep it up brother

Racism is not systemic nor do you NEED power to BE racist. For those that don't know, racism is the belief that one's race is superior to others. There are things that can come about because of racism like oppression but oppression itself is not inherently racist. What it boils down to is that racism is a belief.

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

If its solely because they dont have power then guess what, with that mentality, they never will either...how can one lift themselves out of that mentality without gaining power? almost seems like they want the fields again and are self subjugating,

As a straight white dude who grew up poor I love how I live in so many people's heads rent free. It's flattering. I'm just trying to get through the day so I can pay my bills and eat but there are people out there that think I sit around all day like some diabolical Bond villain plotting on them on them. The truth is I don't think about any of them at all. I suppose they would say that's racist too, since everything else is at this point. Stuff like this theatre group isn't about equality it's about revenge.

You don't "structural power" to be racist. She is the perfect example of that.

By that claim, white people not allowing black people to go to the bathroom in a certain bathroom is not racist, putting them in the back of the bus is not racist, having prejudice on what they do and assuming a lot of black people are criminals is not racist. Only the system is racist, and racism is just lack of oppertunity in life. You could argue it could be both but just power? Racism can also be on a individual level and a group level.

Nonsensical bs

I'll be 70 before too long and I've never been affected by anyone calling me a racist or privileged or misogynistic or any of that nonsense. Just treat people with the respect you would like and they'll generally treat you well in return. Of course, some people are just a$$holes. Have nothing to do with them.

It is not about race, but culture and character. Traditional virtues going back to Aristotle have been rejected by folks of many races. Children never learn social disciplines at home so they create chaos wherever they go. There are no rights without responsibilities for anyone beyond infancy.

I mean really, you can ruin some white guys life just by falsely accusing him of racism. 1:51 she talkin about power n shit, THATS power. Does she not realize that?

Yeah, that's not how that works there Black Theater Company.

I like how someone somewhere threw that odd idea that racism had to include “power” into it. It’s like they thought “ hey there has been too much progress in race relations and I don’t like it. Let’s up the anty so racism never goes away.”

@ulexite-tv

Well said. The idea that racism must always include "power" or be "systemic" is foolish. Yes, there is systemic racism -- but much more pervasive and dangerous is straight-up race-hatred. Everyone -- Black people, Latinos, Asians, Indigenous People, Jews, Arabs, and Europeans -- has experienced race-hatred. Race-hatred is not going to ease up by allowing race-haters to create race-specific theater spaces. We all know how oppressive that has been, and bringing it back will only make this world worse.

The self identifying as a black person reminds me of Suzaku becoming an honorary Britannian. 😂

“We’re not racist! We’re black! We’re just bigoted and prejudiced!”

Racism is a personal choice,not systematic. One person may be a racist while their neighbor is not. Also when I lived in NYC I was a victim of racism by four Blacks on a corner that I had to pass to get to work. They were preaching and when I would try to walk by,they threw insults at me so I eventually would cross the street before I got to them. Oh,and murders happen a lot between Blacks. Black on Black. Not just white on black.

The self-perpetuation of the victim narrative is what keeps these individuals down. It's almost as though they don't want to be seen as being successful at anything, other than being seen as victims who need to be given, 'free', everything because of, 'muh oppression.' That they can reduce themselves down to being nothing more than their ethnicity and then crying about it, requires some serious lack of self-pride. It's what you do for yourself in this life that counts. Not what you think other people should be doing for you, especially if you use a crutch to try and excuse as to why you won't do it for yourself. Having the gall to claim racism, when it's all they ever do against those they claim are, 'oppressing', them, takes some beating. The irony of claiming they can't be racist toward white people based upon their skin colour, when that's the entire basis of what racism is. Racial discrimination in a nutshell. An obvious case of, 'it's alright when we do it.' This strange idea that, because they self-label themselves as being, 'oppressed', that this somehow negates them from being described as racist for doing something that, if others were to treat them in the same way, would be an open and shut case of racism. I suspect that the real reason why they don't want any white people to attend these performances is down to the fact that what's expressed within is largely anti-white racism, and they'd rather it not come to the attention of anyone outside of their selective clique of attendees, who are as much anti-white racist as those putting on these performances. I assume that's what they mean by a, 'safe space.' Safe to be able to be as racist as they like against white people, without it coming to the attention of the authorities or anyone outside of their bigoted circle.

You have to work to live in a nice neighborhood 😂

That [sic] is specifically there for _sic erat scriptum_ because of the idiotic spelling of 'folks'. "Thus it was written" is what it means, it is used because the source had an intentional misspelling and this makes it known that the writer of the article knowingly used the wrong spelling because of the source.

You don’t even have to flip the script. Just look at Asians, Latinos, Natives, Arabs, and any other race that has a long history of being told they cannot go certain places or participate in certain events because of their race. This is just one more event/place where they are not allowed because of their race. It doesn’t matter which race is the “right” race at any given time if it is never ever your race. All these groups that were discriminated against right alongside black people now get to be discriminated against *by* black people. How fun for them.

I don't understand why back people want too be Muslim because of this I also know inorder to become a free slave in Islam you have too become Muslim so I just think they think they became they freely became Muslim somehow.

I've always wondered about the whole black identified thing. First I heard about the white passing black people. Honey if you can pass for white then you're white. If both the white people and the black people can't tell, then we're just going to have to come up with a chart like those paint swatches with the shades. We'll compare you and decide if you are on the black or white side of the shade chart. Or we can go to the DNA thing and find out how many self identified black people are as black as Rachel Dolezal. Or as Indian as Elizabeth Warren.

"On-site re-education" certainly doesn't sound authoritarian at all...
