“An Equation for Black People Onstage:” An Excerpt

I think it is often thought that using white in dramatic formula is the only way to explore the darkness; this equation reduces blackness to just the "non-whiteness" state . The darkness of this equation is man and his life involves a series of reactions and responses to the white ruling class. We were a "suppressed" person for a long time, but is there only black the black? As African-Americans, we have history, future, and everyday reality, but in this reality, the confrontation with the white ruling class is the core feature. This reality makes life difficult. This sort of reality often places us in a single way of expression. There are many ways to define blackness, but there are many ways to render black on stage.

Can Caucasians participate on stage instead of oppressors? Can black men stay on the stage instead of being oppressed For the black writer, is there a play other than racism? Does Blacklife also include issues other than race issues?

There is another thing: there is no black experience, that is, there are many black experiences included under the title. Think about all kinds of people in Africa

so. When a black man is writing a drama, what is the usage of the drama? What can the theater do to us? We can say "I like it", "I will say it as it is" "I speak as much as possible" "I did all three in the play; because we are not poor people, the sentences are very embarrassing Rich "but rich with problems

I write dramas because I like black people. Since there is no single "black experience" there is no single "black aesthetics", and there is no way to write, think, feel or dream, explain, or be explained. As an African American, we should recognize what this despicable essentialism is. We should try to show ourselves the beautiful and powerful diversity of ourselves and ourselves.

Most of the relationships blacks engage in the stage is the relationship between blacks and whites. This is dramatic. Whether black drama can exist even without white people - I want to know - No, not exist - Presence is not a problem - Let's look at mathematics. In the last few decades, another American drama expanded the door to traditional psychological realism and gave people a broad perspective on American history, geography, and speech. Suzan-Lori Parks is probably the leader of the show - and definitely a model of the show - and represents a poetic possibility not yet developed in the American stage. (289)

I remember the first introduction to "professional black" literature. When my father showed Willy Lynch's letter and an excerpt of "Issys Papers", I am young, 7 or 8 years old or younger. I thought these are the answers. I was taught that all blacks are descendants of the king and the queen, and what we have to do is only to open our "third eye" to achieve perfect black liberation is. Such documents teach that homosexuality is European creation destroying black families and that women's slavery against men is correctly natural. In many black communities, class consciousness and materialism are replaced by metaphysics and mysticism, trying to create a kind of "national culture" for black Americans. It was not ten years after I noticed that this was all meaningless. So why so many pro black types and black nationalists are engaged in metaphysical studies so much? There are several reasons for these dangerous trends

Excerpt from Opal Tometi co-founder of Black Lives Matter and the UN human rights office. Black Lives Matter is an international campaign to promote and protect black human rights and dignity. Opal talks about why international human rights mechanisms are important in fighting racial discrimination. Today, as a member of civil society, I participated in the 20th meeting of the Expert Working Group on the 20 th African descendants and discussed the issues affecting black people around the world. I wanted to find ways to cooperate on social justice and human rights worldwide, so I went to Geneva.
