Frederick Douglass said of the Freedman's Savings Bank,
It was the Black mans
cow but the white man's milk.
Thats because whites benefitted the most from a
bank that held the savings of ex-enslaved people. From 1865 to now, when the
majority of those who receive Affirmative Action are white, programs perceived as
Black programs serve whites the most.
With this history in mind, Ishmael Reed wrote Life Among The Aryans, based on
the premise that if the government paid descendants of slaves reparations, whites
would cash in.
Life Among The Aryans, premiered in 2018 at the Nuyorican Poet's Cafe. It follows
the lives of two white MAGA families as they wallow in conspiracy theories and
turn their fates over to a charismatic leader. Life Among The Aryans is the play that
predicted the January 6th Insurrection.
Directed by Sean Vaughn Scott, Life Among The Aryans will run from May 16th to
