Point well taken. Just to clarify - I do not show actual images. But we compare the language used to describe blackness in Othello w/the (v similar) language used to dehumanize an unarmed young black man in our contemporary society.

I certainly think it’s important to consider how the stereotypes Shakesoeare helps to establish contribute to the demonization of Black life. I also think that police brutality, state violence, and US white terror don’t need to be explained through Shakespeare.
