Broadway show to be held for “black-identifying” audiences only – and they’ve figured out how to make it legal

NEW YORK CITY- Broadway has announced that only whites will be allowed to attend Chicago in a special series of “white only” performances next month. The announcement sparked a great deal of controversy…oh, never mind.

What in fact did happen is that producers of a “critically acclaimed” Broadway show Slave Pay announced they would hold performances for a limited engagement in November for “Black identifying” people only, Breitbart News tells us.

Yes, this is 2021 and it may as well be 1963 since we have apparently rewound the time machine back to when everything was about race. Dr. King must be rolling in his grave.

According to Breitbart, the show was nominated for 12 Tony Awards however garnered none during the clearly racist awards ceremony that took place last week.

The show, written by Jeremy O. Harris travels through time while telling the story of interracial relationship during our country’s history, while using slavery in order to “explore racism, microaggressions, and other contemporary ideas,” Breitbart said.

The show returns to the Great White Way (can we still call it that?) starting November 23 and running until January 23 at the August Wilson Theatre. Afterwards, it will move to Los Angeles’ Mark Taper Forum.

In announcing the limited engagement, producers also said they are reintroducing so-called “black out” performances, described as “invitation-only performances to an all-Black-identifying audience so they can experience and discuss the play.”

According to Breitbart, the original run of the show included several “black out performances”.



The clearly racist director of the play, Robert O’Hara told the New York Times in 2019: “We as black people have always had to find a space inside whiteness.”

Really? Let’s explore a couple of areas, say the NBA and the NFL. “Space inside whiteness?”

According to Statista, 74.2 percent of NBA players were black, 16.9 percent white and 2.2 percent Latino. Blacks represent 12% of the U.S. population.

In the NFL meanwhile, 57.5% of the players are black, while 24.9% are white and only .4% Hispanic, also according to Statista. Blacks still represent 12% of the U.S. population.

There are two examples of blacks “find[ing] a space inside whiteness,” if you will.

In further explaining his racism, O’Hara justified it by saying that performing before an all-black audience “sort of allows you to put off some of the trauma that you carry around every day in the world, just having to live inside a black body, and certainly a black, queer body.”

The writer of the play, Harris told American Theatre magazine that all-black audiences respond differently to the play.

“It felt like we turned the ‘hallowed’ space of a theatre into just a building—a building with new possibilities and rules. People got out of their seats to go to the bathroom when they needed, people spoke, people laughed loudly, talked back, people (mon dieu!) texted with their ringers off and screens turned low,” Harris said.

“And the whole room felt free. It was like a concert more so than a play and like people in the room were discovering a new amazing band.”

Despite the fact this seems to violate the Civil Rights Act of 1964, where people are not to be discriminated against on the basis of race, religion, or national origin at all places of public accommodation, which includes courthouses, parks, restaurants, theaters, sports arenas and hotels, this appears to skirt the Act because the black-only performances are held by invitation only.

Not that we necessarily care, but it would seem this would be ripe for a civil rights complaint.

In 2017, a cinema chain—Alamo Drafthouse—was sued for holding female-only screenings of the movie Wonder Woman.

Slave Pay, as would be expected donated to the so-called National Bailout Fund, allocating $10,000 into the fund to bail rioting thugs who burned down cities across the US at the height of the Black Lives Matter riots in support of lifelong criminal and drug addict George Floyd in 2020.



We can just imagine what the outrage would be if the shoe were on the other foot. Just another example that the lessons taught to us by Dr. Martin Luther King no longer exist. In 2021, color isn’t everything…it’s the only thing.

Racism goes both ways, despite what leftists think. For an example of this, we invite you to read our previous report:

ATHENS, GA- Usually one of the easiest ways to determine if something is offensive (or in this case racist) is to take the comments and flip the races.

If it makes you feel uncomfortable, chances are that means the comment is, in fact, racist. Of course we are now living in a time when making racist comments about whites is not only acceptable but rather encouraged.

Such is the case at the University of Georgia, where a Ph.D. candidate in philosophy who also happens to be a Black Lives Matter zealot was recently investigated by a clearly racist and inflammatory post, in which he said that:

“Some white people may have to die for black communities to be made whole,” and “To pretend that’s not the case is ahistorical and generally naïve.”

Flip the script. “Some black people may have to die for white communities to be made whole.” Uncomfortable? Clearly.

Racist? Absolutely.

The clearly “oppressed” Ph.D. candidate, Irami Osei-Frimpong who works at the university as a teaching assistant was cleared by the university after complaints about the post were made, according to National File.

The clearly clueless Osei-Frimpong was confused as to why his comments were criticized.

“I’m confused why that is so controversial.” he said.

According to WSB-TV 2, Osei-Frimpong, appearing on WGAU claimed the post was not calling for violence, although he contends it should still be an option.

“It’s just a fact of history that racial justice often comes at the cost of white life,” he said. “I didn’t advocate for violence. I was just honest on racial progress.”

In yet another social media post, Osei-Frimpong said, “Fighting white people is a skill,” this after receiving criticism for advocating political violence, once again adding, “confused why that is so controversial.”

Once again, flip the races and see if that doesn’t become a clearly racist comment. It is. If a white Ph.D. candidate were making the same comments about blacks, they would have been fired before the ink was dry on the complaint, and quite justifiably so.

Osei-Frimpong can try to sugar-coat all he wants, but he is clearly an anti-white racist. According to WBCK, he wrote the following in a Medium post:

“Killing some white people isn’t genocide; it’s killing some white people…we had to kill some white people to get out of slavery.

Maybe if we’d killed more during the 20th century, we still wouldn’t talk about radicalized voter disenfranchisement and housing, education and employment discrimination. This should not be controversial.”

Osei-Frimpong can equivocate all he wants but he has made a number of clearly anti-white, racist posts and continues to do so even after being called out for it. Here are some examples:
