I wrote the statement you are agreeing to, and it is not refreshing to me that "liberal bullies lost the election". I guess you could say that I lost the election too, but I think that is a childish way of looking at things. How about you find refreshing things that Trump has done since he "won" and be "refreshed" by that? |
People have booed politicians as long as there have been politicians. But bullying is using the power of the state to tell me who I can and can't sleep with, who I can marry, whether I can adopt, where I can shop, and what medical decisions I am able to make in consultation with my physician. |
Not at all what they said, but your ignorance is revealing. Pence was not injured by the cast asking that the new administration not be a bigoted police state. |
Why weren't there more white in The Wiz? And what about Dreamgirls? By the way, Google Jonathan Groff. |
All of the Trump's, or just the Donald? |
Besides name-calling, I'm not sure what your point is. |
They worked hard and paid for seats, unlike Pence. |
Just because people have always booed politicians does not make it right. I agree that all the scenarios you listed are much more troubling that booing Pence in a theater. But Pence and his family should not be booed when they go out to relax. That is bullying. |
Being told if you're gay you should have shock therapy to be "normal" feels like bullying |

DP. The Wiz was always supposed to be a black version of the Oz story. Dreamgirls is literally about black ladies. It makes sense that those shows wouldn't want to cast whites. But a show about the founding fathers?? And, no, I won't google Groffsauce. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. |
Don't you need to get to Starbucks and order an Americano using the name Trump or something? |
Well, looks like the cast was just following the example of our bullying president elect, who models such rude behavior on a daily basis. If it's okay for the president to call people fat disgusting pigs in public, that paves the way for it to be okay for the pubic to boo one of his henchmen. |
The genre is "art." Why don't you write and produce a musical celebrating the enslavement of people by Washington, Jefferson and other founding fathers, or did you miss the critical point about the differing visions of America promoted by Hamilton and Jefferson? Better yet, go see one of the thousands of movies in which characters have been whitewashed. Knowledge of history is important. The stupidity is unfathomable. |
The hiring of people of color in a show about the founding fathers is exactly the point. This is a political show in more ways than one. And you know it, your faked obtuseness notwithstanding. And we all know there are bazillions of roles that go to whites all the time in plays, in movies, on television. But when privilege is tweaked just a bit, it feels like oppression to those who are used to reaping the benefits of it. |
