She talks about racial inequities, what she was taught in her religion during her upbringing and equality regardless of race, gender, sexual persuasion, the tensions of today, etc.  More sociological than political and poignant.  I thought it was interesting.   Any thoughts on this?

She says all people should be treated equally and with respect. I don't see how that would be considered "political" except for the fact that everything seems to get politicized today, the title of the article seemed somewhat clickbaitish. Betty has as much right as anyone to express the values she believes our country should stand for, I agree with what she said, haven't gotten to see her in a show since Triumph of Love, but hope one day to have the privilege.

I agree with you.  I thought her comments were more about respect and all people being treated equally; they weren't political but that's how the BWW article was headed.

Of course they were political. It's not like she's touring the country in "South Pacific" and feels the need to explain "You've Got to Be Carefully Taught." Go, Betty!
