That's this new generation man this shit is crazy. They want to believe that racism doesn't exist anymore to the point their doing shit like this and can sit and engage in an conversation about it so causally.
Exactly. It's cloaked as something artful/ intellectual, but really it's just a hedonistic play that disrespects our ancestors. All they went through, and now this....
im a black actress. literally was just on playbill.com where theatre actors go to find jobs and auditions........ the description reads for the character Kaneisha "Late 20s- mid 30s. Black/ African-American. She has dark skin and is from the American South. Kaneisha is unafraid of what she knows she wants. Self-aware and cognizant of human psychology. This role contains simulated acts of a sexual nature. " im literally disgusted . this does not help our ppl and im hurt that he felt shucking and jiving this hard is the only way he can be recognized as a writer. it would literally EMBARRASS ME to go to this open call. i fell betrayed. this bitch really dropped the ball for us. and the black actresses and actors just trynna collect a fucking check
Thank you for this comment. It is very insightful. I have kids in my family who want to be actors. It's disheartening to know this is the danger they have to face just for chasing their dreams. They don't yet know the cut throat industry they crave.
metaphors should not be used when talking about racism. racism is not a wound or a scar it is terrorism against black people / now for listeners and people watching this video you realize that if he said those words no one would go see that play - that's the point......
@@Pecky2Cruddy Defintely. It's as if these clowns are screaming "white master im willing to do any and everything to show my allegiance and yearning to be accepted even if it means degrading, minimizing, and disrespecting the history of my ancestors"!!!! Shit is sickening and this bed wench is sitting up here so intrigued.
He has sold himself to the elite. The fact that he could make a play based on the most outrageous atrocities known to human beings is baffling to say the least, if he knew truly the horror experienced from the people directly effected he’d think twice ... the conditioning is real, and not talking his hair. SMH!
I honestly feel like this man didn’t write this play or had anything to do with the production. The way he’s responding to the questions she’s asking he seems lost like he’s trying to remember what he was told to say. I feel like a white man or woman wrote this didn’t wanna get called racist or get any backlash from the black community so they found a black face to rep this and try to get black people on bored 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ DONT FALL FOR IT‼️
Goddess Medusa :Yep. This shit is stomach turning from every angle. We as blacks have reached a new low with such nonsense. And this is a case of how gay black men are a serious threat to black community.
Smh, I'm waiting to hear him articulate the meaning of the play. I'm waiting for a deeper meaning. He sound uneducated for a person who went to exclusive all white private schools etc, and then Yale. Perhaps, he's nervous...I'm confused.
When I heard about this show it sounded like racism disguised as art. Then I read the part script and was disgusted. I have no idea what he's talking about with "throw some honey and then punch them in the face" because just getting through the first page was a punch in the face. Racism, sexuality, slavery in America and how it hurts everyone; these are things that need to be talked about but NOT in the way this play presents it. Honestly whoever read this script and thought this was a good idea should be slapped.
Shelly Daniels he’s saying a bunch of bullshit, i wanted them so bad to address the elephant in the room. Why do we think it’s okay to fetishize slave rape in a play? Like get serious.
The libra in me is trying to understand where he’s coming from so bad, yes there are many slave narratives that we don’t hear about and in order for us to heal fully we shouldn’t be afraid to talk about things that make us uncomfortable, but the fact that my living great grandmother may be triggered by this from her own story and memories of her mother and so on i must show her compassion and loyalty.
I'm a Libra as well, but there is NO understanding about this. If anything, I am curious to see this play, but I do not want to pay to see it. I just can't see if someone made a play called Holocaust Play and showed Nazi soldiers raping Jewish women, with their consent, would the play get this much praise as Slave Play.
There were many enslaved people in Brooklyn. Prior to the Civil War, there were more slaveowning households within NYC than there were whites owning slaves during the Civil War in the South.
Can someone explain what this play is about I’m so confused like I know it has very disrespectful elements such as slavery and rape but what exactly is the storyline? P.s. I can’t take the way this guys is talking it genuinely feels like a character
Excuse my ignorance but I cant see the problem with this...12 years a slave was movie and it won an oscar why y’all complaining about this? No offense to anyone I’m sorry if this came our as racist or rude I didn’t mean I’m just trying to get informed
@FRANCO PEREZ Using slavery in the form of satire as a conduit to explain racial issues is unacceptable. Have you been educated beyond "12 Years a Slave" about the horrific occurrences of the transatlantic slave trade? Clearly not, or you truly don't care. Horrific events faced by other ethnic groups are not used in such a manner to explain important issues. Take your pseudo-intellectual head out of your backside and think logically for a second.
Too many people are either not scared of hell or don't believe it exist. I hope they are right. What a sick minded demon. Shame on BUILD series for even giving him a platform. Tacky.
People so dumb, yall mad for what? Because he may be gay, so what? I get slavery is a touchy subject for people, not doubt it hurts me now. But D'Jango did something simular, this man is telling a story his way. Even if it is in bad taste to many.
Glenn Smith You're definitely delusional There is no evidence supporting what you said. Where is your evidence they liked being raped. Look at all the slaves revolutions. Get your facts together, get educated and learn the truth. Show me facts, proof, evidence that the women liked being raped. You're almost as disgusting as this man here. You can't just say something like that without showing historical proof. Show us. Or keep quiet with that evil lie.👎🏿
He uses the word “like” way too many times to be a proficient writer of a play that is debuting on Broadway. I would think that a writer would use words way more articulately than this man. At least quote lines from your own play, something. Ugh

Nothing funny about slavery!!!! Respect your ancestors at ALL TIMES!!!
That's this new generation man this shit is crazy. They want to believe that racism doesn't exist anymore to the point their doing shit like this and can sit and engage in an conversation about it so causally.
Exactly! You have NO idea what your geart great grandparents went through during slavery.
It’s amazing how people get away with certain things under the guise of “art” this isn’t right.

Thank you for not going to that call.
So y’all thought this was a good idea for a play
Why did he chuckle and minimize the black struggle in America? Why did he laugh? What's so funny about black folk demoralization? What's happening?
metaphors should not be used when talking about racism. racism is not a wound or a scar it is terrorism against black people / now for listeners and people watching this video you realize that if he said those words no one would go see that play - that's the point......
This play is nothing but trolling ....no imagination
It deeper than just trolling

I'm searching the internet for scenes from this play. Every other Broadway play has released scenes.

We have to stop blaming everything on white people. There are black people with bad takes & bad ideas. This is clearly a horrible one.

A DISGRACE.
Dude one of those Lee Daniels type catz....Say no more. Best believe the ancestors is not feeling this garbage.

Thank you🙌🏾 I'm so hurt
Exactly.
What part? How about the reading (or watching) all the parts?
We really need a Drop Squad for self hating fools like him.
NO DOUBT!💪🏽
Can u actually believe there are black women excited 2 see this
Brainwashed with Stockholm syndrome mixed with low self esteem.
This is disgusting
The sissy is going to have to answer to GOD for who he is and what he has done to the black community .
Some guy made a play about black people in bad taste & you make a comment about gays in bad taste. The cycle continues.
EXACTLY brother
@@wondashozen .........and like he said...We will all answer to God.
I can't even watch this whole thing. He's pissing me off. At 12 mins.

Disgusting
gross
this interview was complete gibberish. He said basically nothing.
Maria Regina SERIOUSLY THOUGH.

octbaby88 Fellow Libra here as well, and I agree. This appears to me as a mockery and the fact that he’s an African American is disgusting. 🤦🏾♂️
All of the people here freaking out have not seen it... When the play is published y'all will see...
Ok, lets write a play about 911, Holocaust,Rwanda,catholic church sex abuse, They might get rave reviews... Black people dont want to see this period.
You're NOT from the SOUTH don't write about slavery...just don't
There were many enslaved people in Brooklyn. Prior to the Civil War, there were more slaveowning households within NYC than there were whites owning slaves during the Civil War in the South.
He's from Virginia lol
people can write about WHATEVER they want. YOU can ignore it.
Go tell that to the blacks in San Francisco who are screaming for reparations 🤣😂
Can someone explain what this play is about I’m so confused like I know it has very disrespectful elements such as slavery and rape but what exactly is the storyline?
P.s. I can’t take the way this guys is talking it genuinely feels like a character
Goes to show you an Ivy League education doesn't buy you intelligence
Why is everyone so pissed off? I haven’t seen the play but I’m so lost. Please inform
Stop trolling
This is One of many side effects of growing up STATELESS.
What a disgrace to our people.
So many people popping off in the comments without ever having even seen the play or knowing what happens. SMH
Bitch stfu

From the images I see from researching this play, I dont like this at all
wow, lots of angry people here. what exactly did he say that bothered you so much?
Boycott!!!!!!!
Too many people are either not scared of hell or don't believe it exist. I hope they are right. What a sick minded demon. Shame on BUILD series for even giving him a platform. Tacky.
16:54 that the probelms
I want to see the play before I make judgements, but all that I have heard about it seems like it’s another black exploitation piece. I hope it’s not.
I have to see this.
+FRANCO PEREZ I'm afraid that I just might. lol
I loved the play Jeremy did a fantastic job! It was sexy and fun at the same time.
Gross.
WTF!!

This is 😔 sad. I have no respect for this person.
Anyone know where he sleep? Someone gotta make sure he doesn't wakeup.
Be careful of what you say out into the world. It can be turned back onto yourself.
Horrified.
cant believe this shit... smmfh
It was mess up, but the stuff from the play was true.
Slaves did not enjoy raped
@@deebeautiful84 I never said they did.
