    Leo Kearse shares news about a touring production of St. Joan, the story
    of Joan of Arc, featuring a black, non-binary star:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_8I6VCqabQ [9 minutes]

    The minorities are apparently so jealous of the achievements of whites
    and so desperate for heroes that look like them that they expropriate
    ours by telling flat-out lies about them. They did the same recently by claiming that Shakespeare was a black, North African, Jewish woman. They
    did it 30 years ago by claiming that Beethoven was gay on the scantiest
    of evidence (i.e. wishful thinking, not fact).

    As Kearse points out, it is the exact OPPOSITE of edgy: it's the only
    thing you can do these days due to the infiltration of our institutions
    by the wokesters.

    They're now also claiming Beethoven and Mozart were black.

    Nope. Martin Luther King has to be played an Asian gay trans-woman with
    a disablity. ;-)

    I think most of us have nothing but contempt towards such producers.
    While there's no question there were black people in England as early
    as the 14th century most of them were the children of freed slaves who
    had been captured by the English from (mostly Spanish, a few
    Portugese) slave ships. They were never numerous but there are
    definitely paintings of English kings and high nobles with black
    attendants before the Tudor era.

    So definitely Shakespeare would have met black people but most
    unlikely in any numbers.

    All this is long before the time of the Royal Navy West African
    Squadron (which is a fleet you should definitely look up if it's
    unfamiliar to you - in the late 18th / early 19th century - it was not
    just involved in ending slavery in the British empire but also
    captured many foreign ships and freed any slaves they found on board)
