Mary Cheney: Drag Is Like Blackface
"Why is it socially acceptable - as a form of entertainment - for men to
put on dresses, make up and high heels and act out every offensive
stereotype of women (bitchy, catty, dumb, slutty, etc.) - but it is not
socially acceptable - as a form of entertainment - for a white person to
put on blackface and act out offensive stereotypes of African
Americans? Shouldn’t both be OK or neither?" -
Mary Cheney, writing on her Facebook page after seeing an ad for the upcoming season of
RuPaul's Drag Race. (Tipped by JMG reader Scott)
