White Actors in Brian Cox Play Forced to Take Anti-Oppression Course
White actors in a Brian Cox play have been told to check their privilege and take mandatory anti-oppression training. The Timeshas the story.
The head of Scotland’s national theatre has launched a review after white actors in the latest Brian Cox play were told they required misogyny and oppression awareness training while black performers were excused.
The National Theatre of Scotland (NTS) now requires performers and production staff to attend “anti-oppression training” before rehearsals for new productions.
Training for the forthcoming play, Make it Happen, at the Dundee Rep, featuring the Succession star was intended to “examine how systemic inequality and discrimination manifest with a particular focus on anti-racism and anti-blackness”.
These included “misogyny, toxic boardroom politics, power structures, internal/ interpersonal/ institutional/and structure relations”.
The training brief, seen by the Times, states: “This training is not compulsory for people of colour or from the global majority, though their participation is entirely voluntary and welcomed.”
Jackie Wylie, artistic director and NTS chief executive, has ordered a review after the Free Speech Union complained the training treated “members of one racial group less favourably than members of others”.
The union, founded by the journalist and Conservative peer Lord Young of Acton, said the specific exemption for black performers implied the “training is only mandatory for actors of white, European ancestry”.
The £1,500 group training course was due to be provided by Jess Mally, a London-based anti-racism educator who charges “white folks” 50% more than people from “the global majority” in her publicly advertised training courses. …
The Free Speech Union has reported NTS to the UK equalities watchdog because the Equality Act prohibits employers from treating staff differently based on the protected characteristic of race, which includes skin colour, nationality and ethnic origin.
🙂 ! It would have been wonderful if the whole Wakanda fantasy kingdom had been created, written and produced by actual Ethnic Africans, wouldn’t it? You know, like Tolkien’s fantasy world of “Lord of the Rings”, created by white people for white people as a fantasy myth.
Like India’s “Bollywood”, and China’s Kung Fu films, Nigeria has a thriving “Nollywood” film industry, but seems to focus on the bleak modern reality of corruption, crime, sex, drug dealing and “we are victims of the evil white man”.
It seems sad to me that Wakanda was entirely created, imagined and produced FOR AFRICANS by White Communist Hollywood people, just like the fake western history being written FOR AFRICANS by White Communists in the West, who force white schoolchildren to learn and accept it as “true”, and give Ethnic Africans a False, Bloated Sense of Entitlement to European culture, instead of being proud of their own.
I believe it is time that the history of Islamic Imperialism was taught. Raymond Ibrahim has extreme detailed knowledge on the subject and would be an ideal person to invite to help create a programme for the school curriculum. Only teaching of British Imperialism is clearly encouraging grievance and resentments which bode ill for the future peace of the country and it is essential, in our multicultural society, that other cultures are subjected to the same forensic examinations and accountability. That way no one gets to feel especially victimised by or held responsible for historical events outside of their control.
I agree. And while actors shouldn’t have to put up with that and sacrifice their work to defend against what is blatant discrimination, the fact is that defending basic, fundamental rights does carry a price. For some a higher than for others, and that’s just how it is.
I would go further, actors that go along with it are not only not fighting against unacceptable discrimination, they are indirectly supporting it. I see them in much the same way as I see people who took covid vaccines to go on holiday.
Would the play happen if all the incredibly horrible whiteys left?

Remember: when the contemporary marxo-fascists developed the phrases “white privilege”, “white supremacy”, “white frailty”, and now “white oppression”, they intend white as code for enemy.
Is there anybody left in the entertainment industry who isn’t an insufferable, virtue-signalling Lefty tw*t? Speaking of such individuals, you might want to pop a blood pressure pill. This will max-out your cringeometer like nothing else;
”White liberals kneel down and beg for forgiveness from black people.”
Lest we forget who the Marxists really are. Seriously, why did it have to be a white police officer? Can you imagine how different things would’ve been had it been a black officer?
”BLM made $90 million in the year following George Floyd’s death and promised to use the funds to fight against ‘racial inequality.’
Instead, the money was used on lavish purchases including mansions.
By 2023, the organization had an $8.5 million deficit.”
The people who promote this stuff are literally psychotic.
Definition of psychosis: A condition where a person experiences a loss of contact with reality, characterized by symptoms like hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking.
The biggest irony is that Cox and his ilk will be supportive of the two camps which are undeniably the biggest sources of misogyny in society: Muslims and the trans mafia. You cannot cheer-lead these people then myopically focus on linking white men to misogyny, exclusively. But since when did facts and reality matter when you’re this far gone with your delusion?
Ethnic minority = global majority
I see how this ‘works’.

Error number 1, paragraph 1:
‘…told they required misogyny and oppression awareness training‘.
this should read ‘indoctrination‘

Families in this country are struggling to put food on the table. And here is another story about actors and plays. Simply boycott any theatre that insists on nonsense. Their funding from the incompetent gov’t usually dictates what the theatres must produce. This happened a number of yrs ago at the Northcutt theatre, Exeter. Suddenly, avant garde theatre became the norm and they removed parking for theatre goers. So we simply stopped buying our season tickets and support local theatre. So easy.

Whats wrong with those white people going along with this anti white racist nonsense?. If a person of any skin colour behaves as a racist, just fire them. That includes the supposed oppressed educators in this case.

Racial prejudice is alive and kicking in Scotland.

Well done to Lord Young & the Free Speech Union for challenging this outrage!
The great Scottish comedian & patriot Leo Kearse has done a splendid video about similar nonsense:
Schoolkids taught “black people built Stonehenge” – Wakanda was in Wiltshire, apparently – YouTube
For some inexplicable reason whenever I see the word Wakanda my mind pronounces it Wankanda.

Well said
1500 Quid for a group training course, with a 50% surcharge to rub whitey’s nose in it by any means necessary…

“…Telling stories to shape a better world, by any means necessary.”
Another baiter, switcher and grifter.
Another gravy train rider resting in the safe knowledge that she’s on the “right side” and won’t be challenged. Quids in!
Not a lot of money though is it? A junior grift.

Forced? No they are not. They can always get out.

It’s almost as if they were anti white racists. But for the avoidance of doubt, it is ok to be White.

You’d think it was his mother inside. What an embarrassing prat;
”Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey crying while wearing a mask in front of George Floyd’s casket in 2020.
Today marks the 5th year anniversary of Floyd’s death, which sparked the BLM Movement.”

Hilarious, the only audience I ever see in the theatre are white middle class folk. Go woke go broke.
Men from the “global majority” are not misogynistic so don’t need anti-oppression training. Yeah right!

Brian Cox … what an absolute Richard.
Indeed, somehow not surprised to see he is associated with such guff.
