The Race Industry

 White People Told They Are Not Welcome at BLM-Inspired Play (breitbart.com)

"White theatregoers in London were urged to stay away from a play about African American history so that black audience members could enjoy the performance “free from the white gaze”.

"The Theatre Royal Stratford East, in east London, has caused uproar after it told white people to stay away from a “Black Out” performance of the Tambo & Bones play on July 5.

"Although the theatre claimed that “no one is excluded”, it went on to make it abundantly clear that white people would not be welcome at the performance that tells the story of a pair of African Americans on a journey from mistrels to rappers, who ultimately join the Marxist Black Lives Matter movement.

“ 'While this performance has been arranged for Black audience members specifically, no one is excluded from attending,” a description for the ‘Black Out’ evening on the theatre’s website stated.

“ 'A Black Out night is the purposeful creation of an environment in which an all-black-identifying audience can experience and discuss an event in the performing arts, film, and cultural spaces – free from the white gaze,” the theatre explained." . . .

In comments provided to The Telegraph newspaper, Britain’s first black police and crime commissioner (PCC), Festus Akinbusoye said that excluding people based on race would “poor and dangerous precedent” and therefore “strongly urged” the theatre and director to cancel the ‘Black Out’ event.

"Every so often, the race industry in America — let’s call it what it is — seemingly feels like they are not getting enough attention, and so they come forward with some new absurd way to get that attention, apparently clinging to the notion that there is no such thing as bad publicity. The latest to attempt that is far-left congressional squad member, Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO). Bush has glommed onto an idea that is certainly not new and is hugely unpopular with roughly half the country. But Bush has decided to give it the old college try and float it once again. On Wednesday, Bush proposed a federal reparations program for black Americans. In this latest incarnation, the plan would cost roughly $14 trillion." . . . 
. . ."As is usual in the race industry, Cori Bush portrays herself as a victim. She rose to prominence in the summer of 2020 after the death of George Floyd, and many of the nation’s cities were plagued with violent protests. Bush led a mob of protesters onto a gated St. Louis street where they were met by Mark and Patricia McCloskey, armed and prepared to defend their home. When Missouri Gov. Parson pardoned the McCloskeys after they were charged with fourth-degree assault and misdemeanor harassment, Bush vowed that “their day will come.” . . .

MSNBC labels Ron DeSantis ‘pro-white supremacy’ - American Thinker   "When a potential GOP presidential candidate has a brilliant track record -- so attractive that new residents flee Dem-ruled areas to his state by the hundreds of thousands, and he turns a narrow first term victory into a double-digit rout for re-election -- the Dems realize they have a major problem looming.  It’s time to roll out charges of “racism” using the current approved terminology, “white supremacy,” as signaled by Joe Biden at his Howard University commencement speech.

"Naturally, being racists themselves and in command of the academic hierarchy, they need a talking head who is both black and the holder of academic credentials to launch the charge. Enter MSNBC and Dr. Basil Smikle Jr.:" . . .  The Joy Reid/ Joe Scarborough Channel
