I dont mean the whole burnt cork etc..but using make up and wigs...thats not racist.

black face is a racist act its not something to be compared no matter the context its racist due to its history drag isn't offensive... i don't see ur point

Like i said..lets call it the modern blackfacing...you know, with wigs and make up and no stereotyping..

Wrong.

Blackface was not created to imitate black people, it was to ridicule them by turning them into caricatures both with racist stereotypes and appearances meant to dehumanise them.

The act of painting one's face black to imitate a black person can never be anything other than racist. To attempt to justify blackface is shocking.

Except to call it that would be a complete illogical falsity and a straight up lie.

A wordsmith telling a man what words he can and cant use...omg..dezzy come on, gies peace mun....

Racist? No, our black-face dance is a proud tradition

The Britannia Coco-nut Dancers or Nutters are a troupe of Lancastrian clog dancers who perform every Easter in Bacup, dancing 7 miles (11 km) across the town. There are eight dancers and a whipper-in, who controls the proceedings.

Its an ancient English tradition still going on today :shrug:

Modern blackfacing where kids who dont judge by colour or sexuality can dress up with make up, wigs and frilly dresses cause they dont judge....


Whats wrong with that?

I'm not saying you can't say those words, people are entitled to be wrong just like others are entitled to tell them they are wrong.

I've explained before why blackface and drag can't be compared. Drag is inclusive, anyone can do drag and it's not at the expense of anyone. The act of blackface is inherently an attack on black people.

spill the tea

So impersonating bob marley cause you love him is an attack on all like him....ohhhhhhkaaaaaay.

If you paint your skin black, yes it is.

With make up and wig?

This kid was impersonating lil kim. He had make up on.

drag isnt inclusive

y'all want your own special section in the forum


:laugh2:

Love Island isn't inclusive.

It has it's own special section on the forum!

its for all gays and straights with no taste in men/woman or tv shows

drag race, whether you admit it or not, is for The Gays only

Even when the majority of viewers are straight women?

I love it and I'm not gay :shrug:

Can you back that up with specific viewing figure data?

are you sure

Big Brother is for women and gays and here you are x

"In the past few months, I’ve had many conversations about drag’s newest audience, and not just with other queens. Last week, I talked with a contact on Drag Race network Logo’s social media team, who shared his perspective on condition of anonymity. “I spoke with our research team, and they said that the demographics of users are hard to track because the data is unreliable,” he told me. “People make fan accounts and profiles with misleading ages and such.” Even so, it’s hard not to see that young female fans match gay male fans almost one to one. “From what I’ve seen,” my source said, “the demographics seem to be pretty split between younger female teenage fans and gay men from their 20s to 40s.”"
