Shoot the Messenger (2006)
Alf Garnett meets Michael Caines - Alfie
A dissemination of the African British Community by a Career Opportunist who has the morality of Leni Riefenstahl without the Artistic skill.
A Play that panders to European racial stereo types, it runs through issue after issue patched together with post it notes rather than the bostik glue of reality.
For example the name Kwame, used in her example of unnecessary names used by "Black" people to name their children is a common Ghanian name and as normal as Mohammad or Paul.
The central character does not exactly explain why "Everything bad that has ever happened to him has been by Black People" other than the idea that a child made an unfounded accusation against him, while an the English establishment set the wheels in motion leading to the Judgement first in it's favour.
Pokes fun at African Woman and their hair styles as being Fake, Do'es he really believe that all those Blondes on the Streets are natural or did that blondness come out of a bottle ? Along with the Liposucation,Boob jobs, Lip fattening and other fake attire Ladies like to use to snare their men ??
His emotional detachment from his own Community belies his hidden insecurities (or rather Her) but self.
More concerning is the trivialising of Slavery - The biggest Holocaust the World has tolerated. Showing acute lack of understanding that the very Racist degeneration used by the parties involved to justify the practice guided her pen the writing of this (Dis)Play.
