#1 Money saved I say. None of these artists or their works deserves a penny in the hat.

#6 ...standing against a system of apartheid is more important.

I don't believe Blacks or 'Coloureds' in South Aferica under Apartheid had full voting rights (unless they had land ownership, then they had some), full employment capabilities, full land or business ownership nor could have members in elected high Government positions like non-Jewish folks can in Israel today.

Maybe I'm wrong, but folks throw the term Apartheid around a lot without understanding what it really is or was. Saudi Arabia (and some other Mohammedan states) kind of have a true Apartheid for their non-muslim inhabitants.

#7 It means whatever they need it to mean when they need an emotionally loaded scary word, even if it erodes the original usage.
