Good god.

 

Let me ask you this...

 

If the roles were reversed, do you think it would be met with cries of racism?

 

A simple yes or no will do.

Two of the Left's favourite things appear to be changing the meaning of words and denying/ignoring reality...

As for denying reality, Labour must've got that over Tories denying/ignoring reality over Brexit

Here is some reality for you:

 

"no one is excluded from attending."

Can we have some outrage about this, please?

I know we have. I am just curious as to why some people seem to be ignoring me bringing it up, when in reality its no different to the subject of this thread.

It seems like some people are making everything a big deal.

I agree.

This is an advisory, not an outright ban on white people.  I can certainly understand why black people might want a space to exchange views on black issues sometimes, unhindered. Good luck to them.

 

But generally speaking IMO it's best to discuss both sides of an argument/issue, with both sides able to contribute.

No one is saying anyone is excluded, it's more...

 

Although organisers said on the theatre's website that 'no one is excluded', it has been made clear on promotional material that white people are not wanted at the production that night.

 

 

 

What do you think the reaction would be if it urged black people not to attend?

 

 

The swimming comparison is ridiculous by the way.

Of course it is. But this isnt a "ban" on white people and all races can happily choose to attend any of the 29 scheduled showings of this play.

Why is it? Sex is a protected characteristic exactly the same as race is.
