Re: Drag Queen in Blackface
Oh! come on, guys: it doesn't have anything to do with such a thing as the minstrel shows, obviously intended to be reminded, here. The minstrel shows were design to be racist. Adding outrage to insult -that's the least you can say-, it was made to mock a group that was socially left with nothing, treated practically as ordure, worst than animals, kept largely out of education and then laugh on! To wear a makeup that reminded such disgusting practices was sufficently offensive...

Re: Drag Queen in Blackface
My friend, there's always a context to be considered, or in such a case, to be invoked. But this is like using the theme of the Holocaust for a funny drag show, or that of the machette choped up bodies of Tutsies in Rwanda, or the long walk to death of Armenians! African Americans, just out of slavery, still being constantly the object of violence and lynching, totally left out of social institutions, education, living in abject, obscene conditions of poverty, had these shows, the minstrel shows, designed to, ON TOP OF THIS, SPECIFICALLY MOCK THEM!!!! Runningdownthatdream, there's no ifs or buts here... And no, my friend, it's not a narrow-minded politically correctness on my part nor is it dogmatism!!
