"'Assassins' role raises actor's spirits, his mother's concern; Liz Walker relates Obama backers' fears" by Megan Tench, Globe Staff | July 11, 2008
.... "Why would a show like 'Assassins' be done at a time when we're about to have a first black president?
And WHY would the Boston Globe FRONT PAGE IT, huh?
Obama's charisma and political style have been compared with those of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Abraham Lincoln, all transforming figures in American history and all targets of assassination. Obama has received death threats.
NikWalker plays the key role of the Balladeer, the narrator who tells the killers' stories. At a recent rehearsal, actors in T-shirts and shorts transformed themselves into John Wilkes Booth [and] Lee Harvey Oswald.
They just never stop pushing lies, so what makes you think they will ever tell the truth?
Walker embraced his skin and confronted racism head on in high school, writing a short, subversive play: "Negrology 101, featuring the execution of the "last six white kids" in a fictional school. It wasn't an angry play, but a satire in which characters under duress were forced to blurt out their true feelings about peers of different ethnicities.
If a white boy had written about the EXECUTION of the LAST SIX BLACK BOYS at a school, how do you think the divisive, agenda-driving Zionist-controlled AmeriKan MSM would have reacted, readers?
Seriously, WTF?
And FOR the RECORD, I am opposed to ALL RACISM!
His mother's reaction? She found it very disturbing, he said, but was "happy that I was claiming my blackness in my own way."
"Assassins" is another step in Walker's personal, professional, and perhaps political evolution.
Oh, I see; his was just "personal evolution," not racism!!!
I'm really disgusted with the BG right now, and it ain't gonna get any better!
"My mom's generation [went] through a lot of these assassination attempts described in the show," he said. "My generation has not."
But he said he thinks it's important for his generation to understand the cultural impact of assassinations: "Especially at a time when that word is being thrown around so much with Obama, isn't it not only appropriate but isn't it a good thing that you have a show that talks about that?"
Why?
So when it happens, no one will be "surprised" and a convenient cover story can be put in place?
