They’re actually alienating the choir, with actions like that.

I’m a white person who has performed in a professional production of The Black Nativity. I was literally part of the choir celebrating black traditions in the US.

I now work in software and think less of any racialized group using historic struggles as a tool of power, control, and oppression in the here and now.

Historic wrongs are not an excuse for present wrongs.

Edit: pronouns are hard.



I guess by "you" you meant "they", i.e. those parent are talking about?

I was mightily confused and had to read your post three times to get an idea of what you meant.


Errr.. yes.

Poorly phrased.
