Debate Now If Blackface Isn't Allowed Then Why Is Womanface?

[Hellokitty]

There are consequences for racist actions.
The kid at the Chiefs issue was not the half blackface. It was the headdress. The headdress is something that is earned, not something bought on Amazon and used during a football game

Except the kid is native American through his dad. Where are you getting he bought the headdress off Amazon?

 

[Hellbilly]

No they don't it's only white liberals such as yourself and don't give me the exact same I'm not a liberal speech because even if you don't vote you still talk like one.

Tell you what. I’ll do a poll at a blues jam I’m hosting tomorrow. We get lots of black folks. I’ll let you know.
As far as me voting for liberals, I don’t even vote.

It doesn’t matter if the kid is Native. What matters is if he has earned the right to wear a headdress. As I already said I am also a Native and I would not wear one out of respect

 

[Hellokitty]

Blackface is racist. Wearing a headdress is disrespectful. I’m a Native and I would not wear one because I haven’t earned the right to.
I would compare it to me wearing a Purple Heart knowing I haven’t earned the right to do so

Not sure comparing a headdress to a purple heart is a good comparison.
A better one would be a military uniform, which kids dress up in all the time and it's seen as a kid's admiration for the military and not viewed as disrespectful.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

Oh so we should just take your word for it and I know because I already pointed out the fact that you don't vote.

I guess that is a difference with the two cultures. We have respect and you don’t

Is it disrespectful when celebrities dress up as members of the clergy or military? How about dressing up as a medical doctor or plumber or any other profession you haven't earned the right to represent?

 

[Hellbilly]

Oh so we should just take your word for it

In that case I won’t bother with the poll, I’ll just enjoy the music

Really, isn't substance abuse a big problem in NA communities?

Read the last line of my signature because it certainly applies right now.

Trying to get back to the debate.

Someone mention a difference being trans live their lives as the opposite sex.
So than why isn't drag viewed as offensive the same way blackface is? Drag is mostly gay men dressing and acting in over exaggerated ways as women. To tie it in with the headdress, drag also claims it's a sign of respect to dress up as female caricatures.

This is all it is with the left.

So you're saying that it's not frowned upon because they're mentally disturbed people? That makes perfect sense actually and no I'm not being sarcastic either.

How are they mentally disturbed? They hold down jobs, they have relationships, and they otherwise function in society.

 

[Road Runner]

How are they mentally disturbed?

If I told you that I identify as a Great Dane and eat out of a dog food bowl and go to the bathroom outside would that seem normal to you?

Are you talking about drag shows, or are you talking about transgenders?

Drag shows are another issue, and usually they are imitating a known celebrity.

Less disturbing than the racist, misogynistics, and homophobic crap you usually post here.

The fact that you aren't saying that I would need to seek help immediately alerts me that you're the one who needs it really. Not like I didn't know that already though.

It is. It is also a big problem in white communities as well. What’s your point?

You’ve seen Natives doing this?
