6 Times Shakespeare's Othello Was Blatantly Racist

As told by Obama and a special friend

1. "Cannot but feel this wrong as twere their own. For if such actions may have passage free, bond slaves and pagans shall our statesmen be"

Despite Barbatio's past admiration for Othello, he explains that everyone should agree with him because if their white daughters married a black man he fears this will lead to a downfall in society in which slaves could rule.

2. "Even now, now, very now, an old black ram Is tupping your white ewe."

Sometimes its not enough simply to be racist.

3. "...Not to affect many proposed matches Of her own clime, complexion, and degree

How hot can Desdemona be? Or rather, how black is Othello?

4. "My name, that was as fresh As Dian's visage, is now begrimed and black As mine own face."

So its ok when Othello is racist about himself?

5. "Nor scar that whiter skin of hers than snow, And smooth as monumental alabaster."

Even as Othello kills Desdemona, he still notices how white she is. Get it? She's white and innocent? White= purity? #AP

6. Basically Iago's Entire Relationship with Othello

"I hate the Moore"

yeh right.
