What did you think about my comment about a white West End star refused permission to sing a song from Dream Girls because she's white? If a black woman was refused the right to sing a song purely based on the colour of her skin there would quite rightly be uproar. But this story seems to have been accepted as normal.

Let’s just lay it all on the table and agree that we will never achieve the right amount of equality whether someone is male/female, black/white whatever. My focus was on the blackface but I guess you can see it from different standpoints. I just think that discrimination against black people is much more common but what do I know

I’ve never heard about the dream girls thing but it’s extremely wrong they did that. But I feel like this was a one off and not something that would be considered common. Nonetheless it’s wrong that she did get rejected for that reason
