    Another condemnation for telling the truth about a pair of niggers.

    An open letter circulating on social media and sent to various news organizations, including Deadline, is calling on The Broadway League,
    The American Theatre Wing and “the greater theatre community” to demand “accountability, justice, and respect” in light of recent remarks made
    by Patti LuPone about fellow Broadway actors Kecia Lewis and Audra
    McDonald.

    The letter, organized by a group called Theater for Change, has received
    more than 500 signatures from what the group says are members of the
    Broadway theater industry and community including performers and Tony
    Award winners Wendell Pierce, Maleah Joi Moon and James Monroe Iglehart.

    Read the letter here.

    “Recently, Patti LuPone made deeply inappropriate and unacceptable
    public comments about two of Broadway’s most respected and beloved
    artists: Kecia Lewis and Audra McDonald,” the letter states. “In a published interview with The New Yorker, she referred to Kecia Lewis — a Black woman and a 40-year veteran of the American stage — as a “b***.” This language is not only degrading and misogynistic — it is a blatant
    act of racialized disrespect. It constitutes bullying. It constitutes harassment. It is emblematic of the microaggressions and abuse that
    people in this industry have endured for far too long, too often without consequence.”
