    What's under your skin color?
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2020*

We’ve all heard references to “Oh she is just playing the Female Card.”  Or “That’s just the Victim’s Card.”  Or dozens of variations dismissing an aggrieved person’s genuine expressions of hurt.  Claudia Rankine constructs a play which illustrates how White people play “The White Card”.  By so doing, she beautifully illustrates how Whites turn Blacks into “things” or “objects”, denying their real humanity.White persons who always want to do something to correct the Black situation, will hear themselves in Act 1.  The objective is to bring the Black person into the White world (a version of Assimilation or “just be like us.”) And in Act 2, the character Charlotte Cummings, an emerging artist, (surely Rankine)engages in a dialogue that exposes the White Card being played by the philanthropist, who will not acknowledge his white façade (skin) creates his role of superiority and control and power.In the infamous Supreme Court decision of Brown vs Board of Education, it was accepted by the Justices that Black and White schools were essentially equal.  The decision to integrate schools was for the benefit of the Blacks, so they could avail themselves of the cultural knowledge offered by the white schools. Assimilation.Rankine defines “the race problem” as Whiteness, not Blackness.  She quotes, in the introduction, Teju Cole: “The White Savior Industrial Complex is not about justice.  It is about having a big emotional experience that validates privilege.”A theatrical creation is most often a mirror allowing the audience space and time to reflect on their own human failures and inhumanity.  Rankine has created a crystal-clear mirror reflecting whiteness failures and inhumanity.

    Powerful look at the white savior
  

*by C***. on Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2020*

This play really digs into when white people think the are being helpful and empathetic but are actually fetishizing Black violence and death. By only concentrating and paying attention to Black people when they are victims, we dehumanize them and turn their pain into our cause. I think this is something we need to talk about more, especially in white communities that are now, more than ever before, getting involved in the Black Lives Matter movement.
