    Shakespeare took the brunt of the heat on Q&A with the first audience question asking if he was simply a “whitesplainer” https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/media/broadcast/qa-recap-was-shakespeare-a-whitesplainer/news-story/349637abc9f4dbc27a324516e5b11902 … #qanda @QandA

        . It never occurred to the little narcissist that Shakespeare was asking her to think for herself about timeless human concerns. That he has presented her with enduring moral dilemmas and is asking her: "What would you do?" The "woke" don't think. They spout cliche slogans.

        It's not okay to tell others it's okay to be white, @QandA. And, what's more, it's just not okay to be white at all. So, quit talking about it. #auspol #qandapic.twitter.com/j8YxjR1FOt

        the descent, it quickens. Q&A irony, Shakespeare wrote "A poor player who struts & frets his hour upon the stage" & "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound & fury. Signifying nothing" Hmmm...

        Further proof, if needed, that @QandA is simply a soapbox for leftwing extremists & the clinically insane. There must be a better way to use #OURBILLION

        And that's why lnp lost Wentworth. They didn't hate themselves enough. Whitesplainer. Name and shame that absolute fool internationally.

        Simple white supremacy . The statement that 400 yrs ago Anglo playwritght for the masses was the literary genius of all time . This ignores 4000yrs of literature from Epic of Gilgamesh to Homer to whoever else I never heard of. Big bubble these peolel

        Shakespeare’s works revolve around love and betrayal, nothing racial in this.

        And yet Shakespeare's original plays are still being performed & reinvented today?
