Well, shit. I guess I got schooled by BSB and the Rev. I live in a different world from where the situation occurred, obviously.

Two major Canadian theatres have sparked outrage by announcing exclusive performances for an "all black-identifying audience".

In Ottawa, the National Arts Theatre - one of Canada's biggest taxpayer-funded performing arts organisations - will hold its first ever "Black Out" night on February 17, at the 897-seat Babs Asper Theatre.

The organisation is putting on a performance of "Is God Is" - a revenge story about two African-American sisters written in 2018.

A similar event is planned by the Theatre Passe Muraille in Toronto on February 9, with two plays: "Okay you can stop now" and "X and Da Spirit" -which was written about the author's experiences during the Black Lives Matter protests.

According to the Toronto theatre, the purpose of the events is to facilitate "a safe environment for a personal and intimate discussion on the work made and performed by black artists". It added that it welcomed everyone who self-identifies as black to attend this performance.

However, while white attendees could not be banned from attending the show on a Black Out night, the theatre made clear they would not be welcome.

I need to see pictures, because her idea of messy likely isn't even close to reality.

You see, trickle-down economics does work: In the "richest country on Earth", you need a YouTuber to pay $5 million ($5000 per eye) to cure 1000 people out of 25 million sick (0,004%).

The campus needs a deep culture change. You sat up here, you called us racists, sexists, bigots, outsiders. We are now in a position of authority in the college. And the accusations are telling us that something is wrong here.

Looks like the Republicans are going to have to milk Hunter Biden's laptop pretty hard. They better hurry up and impeach Mayorkas!

Well, he meant that the "problem" was with all the liberals, and its now payback time.

All the police were white (I think) in the Rodney King case, and the riots occurred after the four officers who did get charged were found not guilty. With black on black, I wonder if there would be as serious a backlash. I guess we'll see.

Stop with the "black on black" when it comes to the police, they made it clear that blue comes before black, not to mention they aren't even from that community.

I find myself in the unusual position of agreeing with you. What happened to this young man can best be described as ‘blue on black’ crime.
