Canada's Black Screen Office Head Talks Tackling Industry Racism: "Black Creators Aren't Seen by Decision-Makers"
For decades, U.S. civil rights organizations for decades have publicly condemned blackface — in which white performers blacken their faces — as dehumanizing Blacks by introducing and reinforcing racial stereotypes. Referring to Arena’s decision to use blackface makeup in “Aida,″ the singer wrote: “Let me be perfectly clear: the use of blackface under any circumstances, artistic or otherwise, is a deeply misguided practice based on archaic theatrical traditions which have no place in modern society. It is offensive, humiliating and outright racist.”
Still, the theater stressed its hope that her protest would ultimately improve understanding between cultures as well as educate Italian audiences.

DragRaceEs recently crowned a queen who did blackface and a shocking number of people were happy to defend it. In 2022. We shouldn’t still be arguing about this but good for her for refusing to accept it.
The indirect reference of ownership over the inciting action here left me VERY confused for a minute.
Good. Italy will definitely be pigheaded about this.
Bravo 👏🏻

Soprano Angel Blue withdraws from Italy opera over blackface controversy'Let me be perfectly clear: the use of blackface under any circumstances, artistic or otherwise, is a deeply misguided practice based on archaic theatrical traditions which have no place in modern society,' singer Angel Blue said in an Instagram post. It amuses me that certain ppl will have such a strong emotion related to only 1 race being able to be black under any corcumstance and then the same group says oh any race of actor can be a white character sure thats totally cool. I find both far left and right hateful 2 others. They have been staging this type of opera this way in Italy for 170 years at least. It is not White southerners derisively mimicking negroes in minstrel shows. It is an honest effort to depict an Egyptian character. So she condemns Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada then?
