Mary Cheney: Why is drag ‘socially acceptable’ and blackface isn’t?

“Why is it socially acceptableas a form of entertainmentfor 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 acceptableas a form of entertainmentfor a white person to put on blackface and act out offensive stereotypes of African Americans?” Cheney wrote in a post on Thursday her private Facebook page. Some of Cheney’s posts appear to only be visible to those who are in her Facebook network.

“Liz — this isn’t just an issue on which we disagree — you’re just wrong — and on the wrong side of history,” Cheney wrote then on Facebook.
