I find one-sided "racism" amusing. In a totally unrelated topic, some people were saying that RuPaul's Drag Race was "racist" because two black drag queens won two years in a row. I read some articles that stated the very idea of people calling RuPaul's Drag Race racist was, in itself, racist! Apparently white people can be racist but black people can't be? And, if you accuse anyone of racism against white people, you're being racist?? LOL
So, then, can we say that this topic is, in a sense, racist?

It is clear that if we didn't have male and female Tony categories, only males would get nominated.
So I think they should have new categories, "best WHITE actor in a musical", "best BLACK actor in a musical".
That way, white people and black people are equally nominated, so it is not racist.
Boycott the Tonys until they do this 
!!

Exactly.
We should get Orfeh to lead our campaign, I heard she is into irish rights or something.

Posted: 5/17/10 at 8:39pmOrfeh should get her own category so she can win every year. She would pass that Angela Whatshername easily.

Posted: 5/17/10 at 8:41pmWhy stop there? Why not "Best performance by a Gay guy in a Straight role."?
Why Were Only The White Actors From RAGTIME Nominated?#12
Posted: 5/17/10 at 8:56pmThen you need Straight Guy playing a 'Mo award.
Why Were Only The White Actors From RAGTIME Nominated?#13

To answer the original question, maybe that's just how the voting turned out. Or the nominators, as a whole, thought other performances stood out more in a competitive field. If you mean to imply something racist, how do you explain the nominations for African-Americans Montego Glover, Sahr Ngaujah and Lillias White in musicals? Or the nominations for Denzel Washington, Viola Davis, Stephen McKinley Henderson, David Alan Grier and Jon Michael Hill in plays? Plus, there are nominations for Bill T. Jones and Branford Marsalis.

I explain those nominations by saying they were OBVIOUSLY given out as mistakes by what is OBVIOUSLY a group of nominators who parade around town in white hoods and burning crosses.
OBVIOUSLY.

Posted: 5/18/10 at 11:50amMayber they were afraid to monimate any more black actors because, as you have pointed out to us, too many black people in a theatre audience can cause a ruckus. They might start talking back!

Posted: 5/18/10 at 12:23pmI just know I'll look stupid, but... what does "racist" mean?

Posted: 5/18/10 at 12:27pmI am shocked and appalled that males weren't considered when casting Annie. Females have played Peter Pan and Oliver and Tiny Tim. Why can't a male play Annie?
