Surely if you are de-colonising within the United Kingdom, you are removing all references to non-native British culture? The true colonisers of this country are the people that refuse to integrate from places like Pakistan, India and Africa.
really so who were the nice gentlemen who stole 500 trillion from India and killed millions of people there and ran poppy farms for opium that starved 19 million people in Bengal? wow such nice guests we had the pleasure of hosting.
Looking from the other end of the world I cannot understand why being a proud Englishman is racist. Surely noone else in the world feels the need to hate their own people.
One of Shakespeare's unique facets is that he sets out situations for the audience, but never betrays his own opinion or feelings. Very few, if any, other playwrights manage to do this and certainly no revisionists.
Whiteness, or paleness of ones’ complexion, was regarded as preferential as it indicated that someone was of a certain social standing. In short, they were not a serf or villein, forced to work the land in the sun and wind. These cultural anomalies are still present in agrarian Mediterranean societies. Guess that’s racist too. Or maybe, as I suspect, many people are quick to be offended but not quick enough to educate themselves.
It is true that all that new-platonic poetry valued fairness of skin over darkness (olive and sallow complexions). The indigenous people of this country need to stop denying their past or apologising for it, the people who want you to do that, hate you and want to replace you.
@Redfern Pitcher I'm mixed and dark, I don't believe anyone should be compelled to like or say they like anything. There is beauty in fair skin and blonde hair and blue eyes and there is beauty in black hair and dark skin and dark eyes.
It would help Sam's credibility if he could, at the very least, get the year Shakespeare died right. Clearly not an expert then, or even simply informed.
Why don't they just tell all the window lickers, we won't do any plays anymore until new ones are done. I don't do plays but ffs its all history and you need history to see how far you have come and also to not make the same mistakes again. Jump too 2040 and will they want all the senseless deaths or young black men in London all stabbed to death daily now deleted from history? Humans do awful stuff, learn from it but don't delete it.
What you aint saying is this... Daytime was safe... night was dangerous... simple as... Hence light and dark, white and black... oppersites and separated from the rest of the colours...
In the eighteenth century, we had the Enlightenment. It led to liberty and democracy. We seem now to be having an Endarkenment, that will lead to tyrany and misery if we don't kick it out.
Romeo and Juliet gave us West Side Story, which is a wonderful musical. So no, not all adaptations are crap. If the adaptation isn't for you, don't watch it.
The far left have avoided the excoriation we justly dish out to the far right because they hide behind facades of respectability. Time to out them - like this!! Bravo 👏👏
Chuckling at all the outraged comments here, predominantly written by people who likely haven't even read Shakespeare, as it would it detract from Corrie or Jeremy Kyle time haha.
But they've possibly watched Band of Brothers, West Side Story, Branagh's Henry V, or mused that all that glitters is not gold, the lady doth protest too much, the game's afoot, all's well that ends well, or that they are more sinned against than sinning. Maybe they refuse to budge an inch, play fast and loose, have been tongue-tied, made a virtue of necessity, stood on ceremony, had short shrift, seen better days or been a tower of strength. Or is all of that just not on, nowadays? 😄

Anyone with the relevant qualifications to do this job has been educated to think in a particular way.
If only people could simply enjoy culture for what it is.
We're regressing to the cultural dark ages!
The so called Dark Ages had Beowulf!
It's not called the dark age because it was a bad time, it's because relatively little is known about it.

just leave our history alone, its done, in the past, over. If you are smart you learn from history not rewrite it.
If you rewrite Shakespeare it is no longer Shakespeare.

They for their truth might better wear their hats, than those that accuse them wear their heads.
I find woke drama so problematic I can no longer watch tv drama.

Its more likely TalkRadio doing it. They are MSM after all.

A fair skin was also seen as reflective of a purer soul.
Add India and China to that list too - Both have massive colourism
@@elkpaz560 Don't buy that one!

What lunacy.
A bit generous there, calling them half wits. Nil wits would be my call!!
FFS! Hands off The Bard.
And todays wokey fantasy BS is....
Instead of trying to appropriate other peoples history, maybe people should do something of significance themselves.

Please increase the volume of your videos.
The actors need to take the knee (with the Balck Power fist) before every performance. Then wait for the booing to start.

lame ....YES
should be stuffed down our throats..... ABSOLUTELY NOT

Oh get stuffed! Honestly. What absolute bollocks.

Those woke really are starting to pass me off.

Give over, Shakespeare was played and written in different times. It’s actually normal.
He was probably from Ethiopia.

Is this 1933 Germany 🙄
Ppl r so stupid, Shakespeare isn't problematic
Oh ffs whatever next?
Sam makes it sound like we at war with the yamps... never surrender, we'll fight them in the fields and in the streets... we will never surrender
Another idiotic woke joke!
Oh dear, the British education system on show again....the first British colonies / settlements date back to 1607 !!! Wrong AGAIN O’Sullivan !
It would seem he is right! Still can't stand him.

@Redfern Pitcher Ha, nope, we did the typical Shakespeare circuit for GCSE & AS level - King Lear, Macbeth Midsummer's Night Dream etc 🙂
