| as I wrote above, my comment had nothing to do with the show itself; it has to do with Lynn Ahrens, a white person, making a statement that 1998's ragtime demonstrated how far we had come in race relations. That is a racist statement. And the fact that she made the statement recently shows how little she knows about race relations in America. read White Fragility. You're getting upset because I am pushing back against your white privilege. I understand. |

| They are, and by and large they (we) need to be better at it. I recommend picking up "Me and White Supremacy" and doing the exercises. It's rather like "The Artist's Way" for dismantling racism. |

| read White Fragility. You're getting upset because I am pushing back against your white privilege. I understand What an inane and hurtful assumption. You don't know anything about me. The only thing you're right about is that I did misunderstand your original point - that you were referring to Ahrens' statement, not about Ragtime itself. I can apologize for misreading you. Will you apologize in return? |
