Apparently, “white gaze” (yet another pernicious import from America) is the assumption that the default reader or observer is coming from a perspective of someone who identifies as white, or that people of colour sometimes feel need to take into account the white reader or observer’s reaction.
Various authors of colour describe it as a voice in their heads that reminds them that their writing, characters, and plot choices are going to be judged by white readers, and that the reader or viewer, by default, is white.
Err… if you say so…. In other words, black racism.
Or, in the context of this nomination, the banning of white people from attending a theatre in the West End of London on certain nights. Apartheid anyone?
From the article:
Playwright Jeremy O Harris told BBC Sounds yesterday he was ‘so excited’ to put on nights in the West End where tickets were only sold to people who identified as black.
‘One of the things we have to remember is that people have to be radically invited into a space to know that they belong there and in most places in the west, poor people and black people have been told that they do not belong inside the theatre. For me, as someone who wants and yearns for black and brown people to be in the theatre, who comes from a working class environment, who wants people who do not make six figures to feel like theatre is a place for them, it is a necessity to radically invite them in with initiatives that say “you’re invited”. Specifically you.”’
Asked if it didn’t make him uncomfortable that in turn it was telling white people they weren’t allowed in the space, he responded: ‘There are a litany of places in our country that are generally only inhabited by white people, and nobody is questioning that, and nobody is saying that by inviting black audiences here you are uninvited.’
(Bollocks. There are no places in the UK where black people are banned. More’s the pity some would say.)
One senior Tory MP, who did not want to be named, raised questions over the decision to bar white people from the show, telling MailOnline: ‘I understand the subject matter of the show may have particular resonance for some but I would simply question the legality of this? In other circles it would be illegal and racial discrimination. I don’t understand why this isn’t.’
Precisely.

And on a similar note, there’s this from Balsamic Dave
I don’t know if this one has already been nom’d, but the producers of race-baiting theatre production “Slave Play” have declared their intention to hold two performances for black-only audiences so that those assembled can enjoy the production “free from the white gaze”.
Now let’s indulge a brief thought experiment. Let’s reverse the scenario and have a play devoted to the theme of being white; shall we call it “Hard Working Play”. Let’s have two evenings where we have white-only audiences, this initiative devised to allow an all white audience to enjoy the spectacle “free from the black gaze”. That’d go down just fine, wouldn’t it everyone?
This preposterous “blacks only” restriction also demands the question who does and does not qualify as “black”? Will one half of a mixed race couple have to stay at home? Will someone born of one white and one black parent only be allowed to stay until half time? Can Gary Lineker tag along? Would Michael Jackson be shown the door?
I’d say this lot more than deserve to take a bow for being the bunch of cunts they so clearly are.
Would the white partner of a mixed race couple be banned from attending?
Well in my case, and many other cases I suspect, the black person in the relationship would be as outraged as Mrs Cunter is. So they wouldn’t go to see the production anyway.
The same as we are just as likely to call out a white person for being a cunt, the same happens with black people.
They are more than capable of spotting racist and cuntish behaviour in their own kind.
A black cunt does not get a free pass from other black people just because of their colour.
I suppose that this ‘white gaze’ nonsense would have been more appropriate in a theatre owned by blacks, built by blacks and staffed by blacks.
But there are no theatres that fit that bill.
I wonder why.
So they are performing this racist shit at the Noel Coward theatre.
Owned by Delfont-Macintosh and opened in 1903.
No doubt the architect was white and at the beginning of the 20th century there wouldn’t have been many blacks on the building workforce.
None at all, I imagine.
A bit ironic, isn’t it?
So the ‘white gaze’ is from every brick in the entire theatre.
And while these black, racist bastards are sitting watching this crap they should think about who designed, built and installed the seats that they have their fat, black arses on.
In addition they should also reflect on the colour of the vast majority of theatre goers, who without their support for other productions the Noel Coward theatre would have to close down.
By all means give black people their own spaces.
Let them have their own performances and for mixed performances they can have their own seperate sections of venues and their own entrances to get into those sections.
They can have their own ‘black only’ days at public swimming pools and gymnasiums.
Give them their own drinking water fountains and sections on public transport where they can sit.
But they don’t really want all that, do they.
So how the fuck can you accommodate a sub-section of a race of people who are so fucking stupid that they themselves have no idea what they want.
Except this racist, sub-section of black cunts know exactly what they want.
They want a new apartheid.
But one where they have the upper hand and where they make the rules.
And the pussy whipped, apathetic white people are content to give it to them.

It says:
“Playwright Jeremy O Harris told BBC Sounds yesterday he was ‘so excited’ to put on nights in the West End where tickets were only sold to people who identified as black.”
People who identified as black… So you should be good to go, Artful, as long as you self identifiy as black on the night. 😃

I remember going to the young cunter’s school play a long time ago.
Bearing in mind that this is Spain, where besides Mrs Cunter there were absolutely no black kids and obviously no black parents.
None of the school staff were black either.
The play was about an historic event.
The burning of a church in the USA where some of the black only congregation were killed.
The play was woke shit.
We walked out after about 5 minutes and took our son who was in the cast with us.
Dozens of other parents showed their distaste and followed us.
15
It has been said many times before but it beats repeating -‘ If you are not comfortable living here please feel free to live somewhere else.’
24
Or “If you don’t like it, fuck off back to Bongo Bongo Land” (FOBTBBL)
20
don’t care if they like it or not, fuck off must be made compulsory

I’m genuinely curious as to why the filth aren’t arresting people. We do not have apartheid in the UK. This must be illegal.
18
Shame we don’t have apartheid it seemed to work well for the saffers.
And then……three decades later and SA is just another corrupt tin-pot theatre.
7
So, if I’m understanding this, black people are being encouraged to self-segregate from white people and this is considered to be a step forward, how?
14
Dunno, but I’m quite happy with it.
Get to the back of the bus.
26
Me too, dead happy with an apartheid, but different buses please to eliminate the stink

Sooties can’t bear my stern White Gaze.
They get nervous.
Their lips start flapping and eyes go big as boiled eggs,
Static electricity sparks on the wool on their heads.
I remind them of the days ‘ the big white bwana would give em a few tasty lashes and put the manacles on them.
I wear a pith helmet ?
They drop down dead on the spot.
🇬🇧🇬🇧

Ps
Who the fuck in their right mind would want to go to Monkey Theatre?!!!
Hooting , screeching, clapping their feet, shinning up the curtains and flinging faeces.
Fuck that.
24
You have hit the nail on the head there Mis.
How many of our efnik cousins are actually going to pay money to go and see this shit?
I would say very few if they aren’t in the least bit interested in theatre in the first place.
I foresee most of the audience being Islington leftard cucks, who will sit nervously apologising to any black face in the audience for being white.
7
I’m all for it..
The slave play might educate the chippy, entitled cunts about the origins of slavery..
It was your ancestors that sold the Black’s into slavery, and are still doing it now..
Think on that, next time you flap your oversized lips about reparations..
17
Don’t be silly, Barry.
Why on earth would anyone let the truth get in the way of all that potential money?
13
If somebody ever put on a play about African and Arab participation in the slave trade (still going on by the way) I’d go and see it.
Think I’ll have a long wait mind.

I nominated a Canadian Theatre for the very same thing last year. ‘White Gaze’ eh? I don’t know about other whiteys, but when I go to the Theatre I watch the play, I don’t gaze at any black people who might be in the audience.
Anyway, my guess is that no sane person would subject themselves to two hours of abject torture watching this tripe. So to garner some publicity and put bums on seats they’ve come up with this race-baiting crap. As even Itchy Ballsack has had his two penn’orth it looks like the ploy has worked.
9
I assume when he says ‘our country’ he is referring to the USA and not the UK
As for Blackout nights, we had that in the Second World War so not new, I know he means the audience but can you imagine what the cast would see when the theatre goes dark and only the stage is lit, all those big white eyes peering at them 😂
White Gaze, just another pile of made up shit to make the sooties feel uncomfortable, one thing for sure I wouldn’t step foot inside any venue that was full of soots (or P*kis).
Slave Play, couldn’t give a fuck.
12
I couldn’t get a ticket.
14
I’d rather have White Gaze than Black Gays (Andi Peters, Will Smith, et cetera)
12
Of course it is not allowed for white persons to adopt a “black gaze” as that would bw cultural appropriation. In any case it would be too scary. It would make our lops look too big. Can you heat the black voice in your head? I know I can. Sounds a bit like Idi Amin.

‘Lips’ not ‘lops’ ffs.

I’m so sick of these race-baiting, rabble rousing cunts.
What to know what White Gaze is?
It’s the look on my face when I watch Jeremy O Harris swinging from the gallows.
14
Just watched a recording of ‘Who Shot Sasha Johnson’. With my white gaze. Apparently the accused (who were black, natch) werent tried because of white police. Nothing to do with black criminality. At a black party with security searching guests for weapons. Like you do at a birthday party.
10
Bet it wasn’t on long.
A black cunt did it.
As usual.
The End.

Imagine the scene where lots of white skinheads turn up with nazi tattoos and identify as black
11
It strikes me that some people go out of their way to find offense where there is none.
Surely, this kind of posturing only serves to drive an even bigger wedge between communities?
Perhaps that’s the purpose, a cunning plan as it were, to distract the general public from the fact that the people who should be looking out for our interests are doing anything but.
Oh, by the way, you twat, a reduction in NI is fuck all use to me, but an increase in the Personal Allowance would have, so thanks (yet again) for fuck all.
7
Agreed, the little twat talks of fairness in the tax system. What a joke. Fair would be to index link the thresholds.

I’d only pay any attention to this theatre caper if it sold out,rammed full of chippie blek cunts (hopefully a large number of Blek Lies Mither included) then the fucking roof fell in.
That would be worth watching.

There will be a few stabbings in the audience. You can see it coming.

Sounds like a right laugh riot..
Now a evening with idi amin, that would be fun..
Like a live action punch and Judy show..
Regaled with tales of how he conquered the British empire and becoming the Lord of all the beasts..
Then a big finale of feeding some audience members to the crocodiles..
” sooties only”
” patrons maybe tortured and eaten”

Why do not hear from whinging Indians, Pakistanis, Mongols, Inuit, mezoamericans, Mapuche, Arabs, all those in far east – vaguely Chinese? They are all in our society, thank goodness, some providing us delicious food.
Are they all too busy earning a crust, sometimes a good crust, to be arsed?
Why do we not have Bushmeat restaurants? All the UK races, including the White, in U.K. would love a mandrill haunch nicely charred over a dried out cow pat. These PoCs are missing a trick

There are Nigerian restaurants in Londonistan.Jollof rice, yams, cyber scams..

A call from your credit card company ten minutes after you pay the bill.

I’ve just got to say this, I really cannot hold back any more.
All this race baiting shite in the news recently.
Blacks think the countryside is exclusively for whites.
Black nights only to protect them from White Gaze.
Going out of the way to promote diversity one day, then cacking on about inclusion the next breath.
Make your fucking minds up and stop sitting on the fence.
Start reporting the fucking news, and NOT your personal opinion, you cunts!
There, I feel so much better.
Deep breath innnn, and slowly oooout.
10
I dont watch or listen to any of it.
If i watch something on TV it will probably include such shite, and usually does.
TV is just a strange novelty these days.

Absolutely bollocks to the nth degree. Did our wise and learned prick minister just make some cunty speech about all working together to fight extremism etc
Got blimey guv this is real shit ain’t it

I read an interesting article about socialists, communists, anti-fascists and single issue demonstrators being put on the terrorist watchlist.
About bloody time.
Hilariously, this was in the Grauniad and was more of a whingepiece than a eureka moment of self realisation.
