Everything is racist, Part 3,823.

The dead white male known as Shakespeare has long been in the the bad books of the woke crowd, but just when you think they’ve finished beating that horse to death, they come out with a new whip.


Now, however, an American expert has sparked uproar by claiming that the play’s references to darkness are an attempt to reinforce ideas of white supremacy.

Kathryn Vomero Santos, an assistant professor of English at Trinity University in Texas, insists the Bard’s use of words such as bat, beetle, black and night are examples of ‘racialised’ language.

Seems pretty racist for her to compare bats, beetles and darkness to any specific races.

The dead white male known as Shakespeare

Not True. Shakespeare was really descended from African slaves but the priveleged White empowered european masters grew fearful of his expert literacy, so co-opted his name and works for their own after failing to burn it all.

Be fearful of anyone with three names, especially women, for they will invariably always turn out to be radical, leftwing, crazed redheaded Karens!

Meh. There are are always going to be nuts. However, you guys have already banned Shakespeare so why do you care?

People who are obsessed with race are racist.

If anyone wants to criticize Shakespeare for light/dark imagery, why start with Macbeth? Othello is all about racism. Merchant of Venice has some pretty obvious racism (no, I'm not talking about anti-semitism, just racism) and Romeo and Juliet is filled with light/dark imagery.

Macbeth as a play could be called anti-feminist but not racist (IMHO).

Since most of the woketards can't read, this is their way of not feeling so ignorant

All in the Family was a very popular sitcom not because people are racist and anti feminist, it’s because it was entertaining.

If Shakespeare is so "racist", why do so many black actors and actresses want parts in his plays?
