In the 16th century, everything was about Catholics versus Protestants.
Now it seems to be all about Blacks versus Whites.

Babe Ruth
Now this is truly historic.
I wondered aloud for days if the Tony's would find the courage to address race and homosexuality this year.
The two subjects have been taboo in the theatre for too long..
Paustovsky

Babe Ruth

The theatre has been the sole domain of MAGA white supremacists for decades.
