Apparently Safe Spaces Aren't Just for Liberals Anymore

[Twangbanger]

I try that but the subject never posts back...Best to go after the poster....

That's because the "subject" isn't the one that's butthurt...(but the poster sure shows some symptoms)...

 

[spec4]

Were I Pence I'd ask for my money back. He went there to be entertained, not lectured. Very tacky.

Republican politician shows up with entourage at rap opera....

really? Did he bring an interpreter?

Do you think he would have been booed at Book of Mormon?

We, sir, we are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights, sir,” said Brandon Victor Dixen, the actor who portrays Aaron Burr, to raucous applause. “But we truly hope this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and work on behalf of all of us. All of us. Again, we truly thank you truly for seeing this show, this wonderful American story told by a diverse group of men and women of different colors, creeds and orientations.

Sounds impolite, doesn't it? I wonder if Pence brought a blankie to his safe space after that dissent.

 

[cobber]

False equivalence and projection.

This was a lack of civility on the part of the cast. Let them pay for their own soap box.

And it was the cast that was butthurt - still - over the election. Were they all safety-pinned? Hope so for their sake!

I agree they said what they wanted to say in a polite manner. I do disagree that it was appropriate...the words directed at him or the boos he experienced. If it were me, I wouldn't want to listen or support anything they have to say after that. I'm sure Pence has a thicker skin than I do though, and he can handle this stuff.

 

[Alpo]

Yeah. I doubt Mike was too troubled. Donald has a thin skin, though. Looks like his Secret Service nickname might have to change to Chappie.

Democrats are always ambushing Republicans at the theatre.

 

[voidsherpa]

Yet again libs have no class. Just like the lib crowd boo'ing Pence as he was getting seated. Libs are the worst.

ACLU, surprise, surprise, stands up for the bullies:

No, YOU apologize: ACLU weighs in on great ?Hamilton? apology controversy of 2016, gets it wrong ? twitchy.com

Protect them.....that is rich.

FLASHBACK: 'Hamilton' Cast Lectures VP-Elect on 'Diversity,' But Issued 'Whites Need Not Apply' Casting Call

 

[Cameramonkey]

When I first saw this story, I thought it was highly inappropriate to heckle or lecture a paying customer, regardless of setting or political ideology...then I actually saw what was said.
[FONT=&amp]
[/FONT]IMO, this is a non-story that would have largely remained a non-story had Twitter President Trump pushed away from his keyboard for a while instead of immediately reacting on social media.

Yeah. he needs to put the twitterbox away. Trump was an a** for piping up. He had no business calling them out. Pence maybe, but not Trump.

Were I Pence I'd ask for my money back. He went there to be entertained, not lectured. Very tacky.

They did at least wait until curtain call to do this instead of doing the d*** move and interrupt the show like the likes of Yeezy. (his 40 minute rant in the middle of his show)

And reports are that after the Secret Service got him safely outside the theater doors he had them wait so he could finish listening from the hall. He at least had the decency to hear them out and compromise with SS agents that wanted him out of the crowd. But I'm sure you wont hear that nugget from their detractors.

Just like votes, they feel they are allowed to have more than one standard, so its OK.

 

[jbombelli]

Looks to me like Pence violated their safe space by showing up to see their little play and the cast whined at him for it like the crybabies they are.

 

[Cpt Caveman]

Wow. The narrative falls apart and Kut cuts out. Whites only casting call? Seriously?

 

[Alpo]

Yeah. We haven't had blackface since Amos & Andy. You that retro?

 

[Cameramonkey]

Yeah. We haven't had blackface since Amos & Andy. You that retro?

NOBODY was talking about THOSE parts. (and you know it) Quit stirring the pot.

As I recall, Alexander Hamilton was white, yet the producer insisted that a white man was not allowed to play his part.

 

[Alpo]

You apparently aren't familiar with the production? Have you heard of Lin-Manuel Miranda?

Your historical recollection is a bit skewed. Hamilton's father was Scottish. He was born (out of wedlock) to a "West Indian" mother. That was 18th Century doublespeak for Black Lady.

Nice! I am only surprised it was you, Kirk, rather than Indiucky who posted it. Well played, sir! Well played

Maybe BHO could just apologize for everybody? He's had quite a bit of practice

 

[BugI02]

Wow, I wasn't aware so many of the founding fathers were non-white. Who knew?
