    A taxpayer-funded Canadian theater organization has sparked outrage
    after announcing an event that will only allow �Black-identifying
    audiences� to attend.

    The National Arts Centre in Ottawa is putting on a �Black Out� night
    at its Babs Asper Theatre on Feb. 17 � the middle of Black History
    Month � for the performance of �Is God Is,� a play written by and
    starring black women.

    �A Black Out is an open invitation to Black-identifying audiences to
    come and experience performances with their community,� the theater
    announced earlier this month.

    �The evenings will provide a dedicated space for Black theatregoers to
    witness a show that reflects the vivid kaleidoscope that is the Black experience.�

    Such blatant racism should not be tolerated
