They are, for the most part, intelligent comments. Even the flaming is a cut above.
Very unusual for internet comments.
I said: "I don't have any cash, so I can't really take those off your hands."... and evidently her "friends" had none either, yet she was given tickets for free by a white patron, then goes on to paint herself the victim of white privilege. "Uppity" barely describes it.
This has been a more recent problem in entertainment venues where blacks refuse shut up to draw attention to themselves, wrecking the play, movie or whatever for everyone else. Ask them to keep it down, and they will attack you.
But without your money, show places would shut down. People who care about the entertainment they are paying for (not just white people), stay away after Blacks ruin a few experiences. This aspiring writer is cooking her own goose. She’s “aggressing” against her own industry and future so she can play the fool and act the racist.
Sounds like black privilege to me.
LMAO “micro-chimping” !!
I am surprised my fellow FReepers did not pick up on what I think was the BIG problem - the writer mentioned that her white benefactors was married to/accompanied by a BLACK man - blacks of the racist ilk hate it when a black man is with a white woman. I think that was actually what was making this playwright so angry. I’m not surprised he kept quiet!
Interesting that she need to cite the qualifications of her black friends — professors, producers, etc. Who gives a crap? Affirmative Action has permitted minorities to “achieve” high-falutin’ titles and credentials without having to do the hard work.
Just look at the people in the White Hut who have Harvard degrees. Hussein thinks there are 58 states (he visited 57 and had only “one more to go”). Chewy’s grammar permits her to say, “Me and Barack” did such-and-such. I look with scorn at blacks with impressive positions because the default assumption is “they didn’t earn them”. Sorry about those legitimate high achievers because they’ve been tainted by the gimme-dats.
My weekend job is doing armed security at a very busy multiplex cinema in the D.C. suburbs of Virginia.
Right after the Louisiana theater shooting incident earlier this year (and copycat incident somewhere a week or so after that), our theater opened “Straight Outta Compton” on most of our 12 screens to much nationwide concern about violence having to do with that movie along with the concern about theater shootings overall.
So we were tasked with increased manpower requirements, bag checks, and other extra security measures.
Immediately we had problems with female moviegoers objecting to having the contents of their purses inspected — but it was ALWAYS and ONLY black women who asked “why you need to look inna my purse??,” raised a big fuss and threatened lawsuits, hollering about racism, causing scenes, complaining to corporate, demanding free this, free that for being “harassed” and “racially profiled.” This happened numerous times, to various degrees.
During “Straight Outta Compton”’s run, we had a couple of fights break out, one of them was an all-out brawl which involved two groups, spilled out into the hallway & lobby and led to one guy being arrested, all the troublemakers being black, of course.
Another incident involved loud, drunken black women who began fighting and throwing popcorn/etc at each other, then nearly physically attacked the white female theater manager when they were told they had to leave, even though they were promised free passes just to get them to go....
*sigh*
TNB
Hahaha, the Disqus thread at the article is now closed off to new comments, lol, we got through to her! ;-)
Yeah, the whole “provoked” thing is BS.
What words can I as a white male claim provoke me to violence?
You are right - this is crap. But read the entire article.
The author is a pain in the #*&%. No question, but the point that she is trying to make is that the play was designed to have audience response - more like a sporting event than a play, if you ask me. Personally, I would not go see a play like that. And I’m not sure why “Jane” was there.
I don’t like the author’s tone, or the racial assumptions that she makes. The lady GAVE you some tickets! If the lady that GAVE you the tickets asks you not to be loud, then SIT DOWN. Or maybe LEAVE.
Whoever made the post about the differences in worship styles is right. That’s why different folks go to different churches where they each feel comfortable. “Jane” needs to stop funding that theater.
Now, having said all that - I’ll lay odds it never happened. Just another “hands up don’t shoot” story to get things stirred up. Or, to make herself look good because she controlled herself and didn’t slap “Jane”.
Mee tooo.
You're an award winning playwright and can't afford the tickets.....hmmmm.
This "white woman" GAVE YOU TICKETS and you haven't the common decency to at least show a little gratitude. You were essentially HER GUEST.
This entire screed was a rambling temper tantrum centered around your paranoia of perceived "white privilege" that, from the very start, was clearly hateful toward a kind Caucasian.
And finally, smells like complete and utter BS.
The term “full of herself” was invented to apply to Dominique. And, boy does it.
Dorthy Bland had more beef than this full of herself bia, and Bland didn’t have much.
