What is Brabantio accusing Othello of?
Brabantio disapproves of Othello and the relationship he has with Brabantio's daughter Desdemona. This is not because Othello is not worthy of Desdemona because he is a much respected officer, but because he is a Moor (in that time an African) and therefore considered beneath the Italian people.
What are some of the racist insults to Othello in the play?
No. It's difficult to see how a story of passion and politics, love and betrayal can have a racial connotation. Do you ask this question because the main character is black? It's necessary to understand that in Shakespeare's time racial divisions were not as we see them today. Another answer: I would hold that the play is oddly both racist and accepting of racial differences. It does contain some of what I would call racist remarks, such as when Iago tells Brabantio that "even now, very now, an old black ram [Othello] is topping your white ewe [Desdemona]." Such passages would seem to refute critics who say that the play treats Othello's race as ambiguous, i.e., perhaps only swarthy as a Moorish North African -- ethnically Arab or Berber -- might be expected to look. It seems to me more likely that Shakespeare and his audience were prone to confuse Africans' physical features and races and treat "Moor" as synonymous with black Africans, as reflected in the term "blackamoor." On the other hand, I think there may be some attestation for their use of "black" to mean simply anyone who wasn't blond. Even so, aside from a general tendency by other characters to treat Othello as "other," referring to him usually simply as "the Moor," he is accepted as an equal, even respected for his military rank. So much so that apart from Iago's ribald jesting, no one seems to think his being married to Desdemona in any way remarkable. So it seems to me that Elizabethans, for all their racial and class distinctions, hadn't yet come to abhor miscegenation. I suspect this is because segregation in its full force became ingrained in the Western mind only as a symptom and enablement of the swelling tide of enslavement of Africans after the time Othello was written around 1600.

What does thou toldst you thou didst hold him in thy hate?
Actually the question should have been, "What does 'Thou told'st me thou didst hold him in thy hate' mean?" It is from Act I of Shakespeare's play, Othello. In modern English it means, "You told me that you hated him". Roderigo and Iago are arguing about Iago's loyalty to Othello. Roderigo says, "You (Iago) told me (Roderigo) that you (Iago) hated him (Othello). For more information, read the play.

Ensure that the platform is wide enough to support the books, and you can reinforce it further by adding additional layers or using thicker cardstock.
