There are songs that whites must not sing?
One of Broadway’s most successful torch songs has been caught up in the middle of the race row that’s been skittering through showbiz in recent years. Dreamgirls’ crowd-pleaser And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going was due to be performed as part of The Best of the West End, an evening of musical numbers at the Royal Albert Hall, by white singer Mazz Murray.
But when the show’s producers approached Dreamgirls’ owners for permission to use the ballad in The Best of the West End, they were told that it wasn’t “appropriate” for a white woman to sing it.

Odd how the PC crowd is always telling people that they ought not to do things to divide people and yet at the same time are always creating new "rules" that do exactly that.
I guess they are too stupid to see that the result of their ideas is the antithesis of those same ideals in the same way socialism also always fails.
So if whites aren't allowed to sing certain songs then Blacks shouldn't be allowed play actors in "Hamilton." Both arguments are the same, racism is at their hearts.
