Shakespeare’s birthplace to be decolonised after ‘white supremacy’ fears
The Telegraph ^ | March 16, 2025 | Craig Simpson

William Shakespeare’s birthplace is being “decolonised” following concerns about the playwright being used to promote “white supremacy”.

Shakespeare’s Birthplace Trust owns buildings linked to the Bard in his home town of Stratford-upon-Avon. The trust also owns archival material including parish records of the playwright’s birth and baptism.

It is now “decolonising” its vast collection to “create a more inclusive museum experience”.

It amazes me how only whites can be made to feel guilt for their achievements. When you have to pay the jyzia perhaps you will realize what you let happen right under your noses.

This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,

This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,

This other Eden, demi-paradise,

This fortress built by Nature for her self

Against infection and the hand of war,

This happy breed of men, this little world,

This precious stone set in a silver sea

Which serves it in the office of a wall

Or as a moat defensive to a house,

Against the envy of less happier lands,

This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England

Decolonization is another word for White Genocide. They want to erase us and our culture.

“It amazes me how only whites can be made to feel guilt for their achievements.”

Whites have only themselves to blame. They lead the charge in guilt-tripping themselves.

See my tag line.

The U.K. can decolonize the entire country by sending the non-native populations back to the colonies from whence they came. It’s odd that after the U.K. gave up its colonies, the former colonials all wanted to emigrate to Britain due to corruption and human rights violations by the new independent countries. Maybe there was something to the white man’s burden after all...

It’s happening here. From my local county office of education

White Supremacy refers to a system of power and privilege that prioritizes and centers the interests, experiences, and perspectives of white people while marginalizing and oppressing people of other racial or ethnic backgrounds. This system is rooted in the belief that white people are inherently superior, and it operates through various social, economic, and political structures to maintain and reinforce racial hierarchies and inequalities.

Well, the joke’s on them. Shakespeare didn’t write the plays.

Probably came from the Shakespeare that was taught in your local schools!

I think his trust should be responsible for getting rid of every Starling in this country.

"Right. Queen Lizzy’s dwarf lesbian court jester did."

Riddle me this, Batman: Shakespeare's will listed no books, no letters, no manuscripts, no half-written plays - how do you write a play about a historical figure, like Julius Caesar, without a few reference materials?

My money's on Edward de Vere as the author of many of the plays attributed to Shakespeare. He had the education, resources, life experiences and the abilities.
