LIBERAL angst.

[flying Elvis]

Gotta love the irony. Liberal white kids who rarely encounter a black person in a 94% white school trying to make people feel guilty about wanting no black people around. lol

Here's one that would shock them: How bout a play set in the year 2000 about a southern town in which black and white folks get along rather well, which the vast majority do.

Or better yet, let them perform a play about a segment of the population who's glory years were in the 1960s and can never get beyond the fact that times have changed.

Just kids of the rich white elite, using satire to demonize their betters in order to further their parents goal of destroying them. Of course, evil is always out to destroy the good.

Ms. Freeman, a 22-year-old English and theater teacher [said], "Of course, I worry about it, but I'd rather that theater be provocative than predictable."

And really, that's what theater is all about, is it not? That's why Shakespeare cannot be considered a good playwright. I mean, Romeo and Juliet? They die at the end -- it's sooooo predictable! Clearly, not art.

I remember the evening that PBS went on the air for the very first time--this play was what they broadcast.

Or maybe everyone would sigh impatiently at yet another lecture on the virtues of diversity.

BINGO.

Even with those talks, though, none of the students wanted to play the one black role, for fear of appearing to mock African-Americans

Or maybe they just didn't want to be the black person. After all we all know how racist most liberals are. (poor blackies couldn't get into any good schools without affirmative action, and certainly couldn't get a job without an EEO threat and if we cut off welfare they'd probably all starve)

Just imagine this commedy farce transformed into a tragedy, by the topic being "all the White folks suddenly disappeared."
