How many times have we been told how racist and wrong blackface was in the early years of the entertainment industry, yet we are being told that doing the same thing with transgenderism is ok?
The definition of blackface, according to Dictionary.com is as follows:
1. used to refer to the practice of wearing makeup to imitate the appearance of a Black person. The use of such makeup was associated with minstrel shows in the United States from the 1830s until the mid 20th century; it is now regarded as highly offensive.
Not that I am condoning blackface, but if it is so wrong, then why is it okay for men to wear makeup and imitate the appearance of a woman?
"What's the Difference Between Blackface and Womanface?" I cold look at Blackface all day; without vomiting.
