"
For Shakespeare's Othello starring Laurence Olivier, it quickly became a lesson in something else entirely. Students said they sat in stunned silence as Olivier appeared on screen in thickly painted blackface makeup.
And the Lawrence Olivier version is a classic version of the film. He was not wearing blackface because he was seeking to mock black people. He's wearing blackface in that film because he is playing Othello who is a black character.

Inside Antifa's Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy

"
So over the last 24 hours Antifa demanded that Powell's books in Portland shut down the store if they carried Andy Noe's book on Antifa.
The protest forced the store to close early. Powell's then announced it would not carry the book in its physical store though it would still be available for purchase online. The book will not be on our store shelves. We'll not promote it said Powell's.
By the way, it's absolute cowardice for pals to remove the book from the actual shelves. Right? That in and of itself is absolute cowardice on an extraordinary level.
