West Texas A&M University president cancels student drag show, saying it degrades women
CHRON ^ | 3/22/23 | Kate Mcgee

West Texas A&M University President Walter Wendler is drawing ire for canceling a student drag show, arguing that such performances degrade women and are “derisive, divisive and demoralizing misogyny.”

Students and First Amendment lawyers reject those assertions, calling his comments a mischaracterization of the art form. They also argue that the cancellation violates students’ constitutional rights and a state law that broadly protects free speech on college campuses, potentially setting the university up for a lawsuit

Every bit as much as blackface degrades black people.

Because the issue is always the revolution.

Blackface is counter to the revolution; drag queens accelerate the revolution. Children dressing up as Big War Eagle to impress adults for Halloween is counter to the revolution; adults dressing up as Ru Paul to impress children for grooming accelerates the revolution.

“Drag shows” are 21st century black-face minstrel shows.

People gaining attention by exaggerating to an outrageous degree the traits of the group they are imitating.

In my 40 years of being aware of drag queens (starting at Divine), I’m about 99% sure that I’ve never met an actual female who has acted so over the top, obnoxious, and glam-fem as any drag queen or most gay men behave.

When you celebrate something, you get more of it.

I think the fastest way to squash it, is to (rightfully) equate it to blackface. As per story book/shows, it's only a matter of time before some child is openly molested in some manner during a performance - as confused proggy mom's cheer it on.

Precisely. It is a relentless attack on western civilization.

To “Build Back Better” you must destroy, first.

Once they get the Revolution, normalcy returns, and these people will have their turn up against the wall.

I wonder what kind of knots they would tie themselves in if a tranny came out and did a show in black face.

Honestly, that sounds like a good strategy.

Let liberals argue against it and try to make a solid case saying it's not.

That would be fun.

There’s a white guy named Chuck Knipp
who does both blackface AND drag

Rolling Stone, 2007:
“When he’s finished, staring back at Knipp from the mirror is the blackface mask of a modern-day minstrel, and the character known to Knipp’s legions of cult followers as Shirley Q. Liquor, a welfare mother with nineteen kids who guzzles malt liquor, drives a Cad­dy and says in an “ignunt” Gulf Coast black dialect...”

Not sure if still around (youtube videos)
