Pretty much. It’s like it’s “acceptable” and expected of them to do shyt like that. That’s why it’s such an outrage and discussion when black men do it, which I’m perfectly fine with. I’d never want to be automatically associated with a “that’s just what they do” attitude with certain mess like that.
Exactly. That's more context that
@bnew is ignoring. White people have been acting like sissies, wearing women's wigs, women's underwear and dressing like hoes for thousands of years.
We weren't doing that, so much so that even to this day they call the broader black community "homophobic" because we don't rock with that gay foolishness.
I would argue that putting black stars in drag is emasculation of those stars and also a push that has been happening for the last 50 years or longer to push that stuff towards our people. And it has worked to an extent, as gay stuff is more acceptable than it once was among our people.
But it still ain't as acceptable among us as it is among them. Lot of gay dudes in our community live life on the DL cause they don't feel safe enough to come out the closet cause they know the majority of black people ain't rocking with that.
This stuff is new to black people and we've encountered it due to being assimilated under white people. But this is normal to them. Doing gay activities in college is normal for a lot of white boys, so much so that we call it "white boy humor". Thats their stuff, not ours.
