is a cunt. Gillian banks Theatre School, with only 200 pupils, wanted to put on a production of Dreamgirls, which charts the struggle of a coloured girl group ( think Supremes ) to get recognition and airtime in the 1950/60’s.
Out of the 200 pupils only one coloured person auditioned and was cast.
However, Concord Theatricals, the licence holders, withdrew permission as the school could not provide a “more diverse cast”
So its ok for people to accept a coloured Anne Boylen, indeed the entire family, on the grounds that it’s ‘colourblind casting’ , but when the reverse is true. It’s not on?
Can you spell hypocrite, Concord Theatricals?
Nominated by Jeezum Priest.
To be fair all the dàrkies were to busy to audition. What with all the drug dealing, looting and stabbing..
Dream girls, I imagine the quality of cast members it would soon be nightmare girls..
Sounds like a stroke of luck it got cancelled..

And presumably they meant black.
What about considering the muzzıe, ding-ding and chınky girls?
Just white and black girls is discriminatory against other touch-of-the-tar-brush types.
Morning Bz/all.

Although Dreamgirls was based on the Motown movement it wasn’t factual.
It was just a work of fiction turned into a reasonably successful film.
The girls in the original work of fiction were black, but they didn’t need to be.
There is no reason why a play or remake of the film should have a black girl group.
There is also no reason why a theatre school should want to put out a production and use the name Dreamgirls to promote it.
They could have given the production a different name and simply based it on the original.
That would have avoided any controversy.
But they didn’t.
They tried to cash in on the success of the original.
I’m not suggesting that Concord Theatrical were right, they are hypocritical cunts.
But why give them the opportunity to be wrong?
The Dream Factory.
No problem.
Go out on the stage and enjoy yourself girls.
Good morning.

The show must go on!
why not use blackface?
I know it’s not quite the same but needs must and all that.
or puppets.
Stick a sequined dress on Cuddles the monkey… hey presto!
Diana Ross.

Discord Theatricals don’t own the rights to ‘Mammy’.
So slap on the boot polish and go for it, kids.

Blackface is illegal, GT.
You have to be naturally black, like me.
And supreme.

Is is fucking stupid to re-imagine a successful production and give it the exact same name as the original.
It’s not only the theatre company but also the audience that will poke holes in the storyline and cast.
They have a direct comparison.
I don’t think that West Side Story would have been such a success if the production team called it Romeo and Juliet.
The Lion King being called Hamlet?
The Magnificent Seven keeping the name Shichinin No Samurai?
There is enough inspiration available for adaptation into a new film or play.
But no, the theatre school were lazy and now they are complaining.
Fuck them AND the theatrical company.

That woke shite never stopped the Black and white minstrels from putting on a good show..😂

As I`ve always said – good, clean, harmless family entertainment.
Ironically, it started on black & white TV.

Difficult to see how they could have made this back in the day as only black labs were required to audition …

Ironically, the dog was called Sambö.
Woof !

If a play existed that told of the suffering and plight of Palestine and depicted Israel as evil aggressors, I bet they wouldn’t give a fuck who was in it so long as it got shit loads of publicity.
Fucking luvvie wankers.

What wrong with creating your own story.. but we all know it’s not about that..
Take the calls to make James bond black, why not create your own black spy. Because it’s about taking something that not yours, as a show of strength..
We all know more diversity, means less white people.
I was looking forward to watching the odyssey, and then I started hearing things about qualifying conditions for Oscars.
So now Helen of Troy is black..
There is no way two countries went to war for 10 years over her.
I could see her stealing the golden fleece or Pandoras box..
Personally Im waiting for the remake of shaft, starring a disabled, Muslim lesbian.
🎶Who’s that brown private dick that likes to lick a clit… Shaft..
12
Everyone knows that Michael J Fox is going to play the main character in the remake of Shaft.
Nothing says diversity like a 5’4″ middle age white bloke with parkinsons playing a 6’2″ black, no nonsense, all action hard nut
Makes total sense
11
I don’t know what all the fuss is about. Top black actors are every bit as good a whites. Al Jolson being a case in point.
Good morning, everyone.
13
Dream to be black, as an actor or actress (old school) being black is a leg up, who cares if they are shit, they tick the right box.
The Concord cunts wanted more diversity, a bit tricky is no ethnic wanted to be in the production, maybe they could have found a few soots to work the lights or sweep the stage.
Might have been worth watching with nice pretty white girls 😉

Wankers to the max

Thought I’d like to reminisce about my entire schooling career. Every pupil including the teaching staff were white. Even better, both infants and seniors were a couple of minutes away from my house.

One black lad in our class. We called him Chalky, and he was actually well liked. Good footabller, tasty in a fight, made us laugh. He was OK. He didn’t mind the name either. He knew we meant it affectionately.
There’d be all sorts of shit and accusations of racism nowadays. It was different then, and it was better. Anybody who says it was’;t are cunts who weren’t born then and who weren’t there.
16
They didn’t specifically say whether they could black up with nlgger brown boot polish, or not.

Some of our lasses from the Supreme Court could have stood in until they found some one.

This is no surprise, but the BBC held auditions for Doctor Who.
It was for then new Doctor Peter Capaldi’s sidekick.
And – straight up – the BBC insisted on ‘black lesbian auditions only’.
Imagine the hoo-hah if they’d have said ‘white straight birds with great tits only’.
Poor old Peter ended up with the most smug, self satisfied, uppity, horse faced, plug ugly treeswinging tuppence flicker.
And, most hilariously, every bloke she met in the show had to fancy her. And, she had to crush their dreams by mentioning that she liked wimmin. The joke being no man would go near it, it looked like Black Beauty with a mop friz wig. And, the awful dyke mentioned her ‘tendencies’ in every fucking episode.
And, for all their feminazi claptrap and bullshiit, the BBC gave this creature a man’s name. Calling it Bill, Is it any wonder the series has now been axed/killed off?🤣
15
Imagine if Grace Jones had turned up. She’s not a lesbian and she’d have Karate chopped them all for being impertinent.
Hooray for based black women who aren’t carpet tongue shavers.

That’s why it died. The days of fit sidekicks were over.
From Jo Grant, Sarah Jane Smith, Leela, Nyssa, and Peri. To a black horse faced rug muncher.
Of course, they murdered it stone dead, when they made the Doc himself into a stupid dizzy lezzer woman, and then a screeching black sodomite who wore frocks.
14
Ahhh for the days of Tom Baker as The Doctor, Genesis of The Daleks and The Ark in Space. Scared the shit out of me as a kid with that bloke slowly changing into what can only be described as a giant maggot. Stayed with me all these years that, as did images of Leela. Another favourite from back then was Into The Labyrinth with Pamela Salem as Belor. Fuck me she was fit. Kept a 14 year old STB in wanks for quite a while she did.

It appeared the BBC did their upmost to completely destroy the whole concept of what Doctor Who represented, for the children’s children’s, children.

Go woke go broke, they never learn.

Wasn’t Showgirls that one where that bird from Saved By The Bell showed her flaps every five minutes?

What about Sasha Johnson? She got the part of sleeping beauty, paid for by us mugs. There was no outrage about her being cast for the role.

Last time I saw Sasha the Slasha, she was playing the part of a pint of Guinness…
A load of black slop poured into a glass.🤣

I am casting for the Lenny Henry biopic. So far I have David Bellamy as Lenny and Freddy Starr as a young Lenny.

Freddy was amusing and entertaining.

In todays wokist climate blind casting would appear as an answer.

If they made a film about the Black and White Minstrels today, would the Whites have to Black?

John Wayne playing Genghis Khan in ‘The Conqueror’ is utterly hilarious.
Dozens of cast and crew got cancer from radiation exposure after filming near the Nevada Test Site including Wayne, exacerbated by his heavy smoking which is less hilarious.

Just done a few small jobs,
delivering sofas,
last job was few bits to storage.
I park up,
labourer drops the tail lift and opens up the roller shutter,
I go to say hello to the customer.
it’s Jeremy Corbyn.
not really but near as.
specs white short beard,
and fuckin sandals !!!
I say hello, he just stares at me,
we load his shit,
take him to storage ,
hes sat in the van never utters a word to us.
I ask him what he does.
“retired”.
then silence.
I ask him what he used to do
“civil serpent ”
silence again.
I gave up the chit chat.
I did it in half the time I’d quoted for,
so half the cost.
I told him how much it was,
and he gave me exactly that.
no tip.
Then the cunt asked me for a lift home!!
“sorry pal, I’m going the other way”
an i fucked off .
he can walk the 5mile back home in his jesus sandals the humourless cunt.

That’s the last time I hire you.

Was it a load of gardening equipment he had stolen from the allotments, and a used gorilla suit, from when he was courting flabbopus.

shame that.
John Wayne was a very versatile actor.
😁

I used to like that A-Team.
Mindless entertainment and classic good guys vs bad guys. And, I’d have shagged that Amy Allen till Kingdom Come.

I preferred Dukes of Hazzard .
it had everything,
daisy Duke in denim shorts,🤎
yank muscle cars
confederate flags
and halfwit cops..

There are far too many foreigners here and it is a massive burden for a small country to carry. A lot of them are a pain in the arse, but the main issue is that as their relative size and influence grows, so they will lobby for their own desired outcomes. This is to be expected, but is hardly desirable.
We should be maintaining a strict cap that ensures at least 95% of England’s population is white British, including London. What is it now? 74% and falling fast. And that’s based on the official population data which is probably wrong by a significant margin. This is an outrage, a form of ethnic cleansing and extremely stupid and dangerous in the long run. We would have far less aggro, arguing, two tier this and that, and other nonsense if we maintained a cap as above.
I really don’t care about lame economic arguments, which are mostly bogus from the perspective of the average person. And I don’t care about “my mate is xxx and he’s alright.”. The model to look at is Japan or, indeed, this country in the not too distant past.

Should we invade China and rip the shit out of Nanking?
I’m game if you are.

Ban Muslims and send all Paki’s home, over two thirds of the issue solved right there.
