The most annoying thing about the Chappelle controversy is the amount of idolatry he is getting from conservatives.

If a man is dressing up as a woman, wearing a dress, why is he doing that. As a halloween costume? Just for joking around

Ok I guess this is where we disagree. I don't think the dress up part is wrong necessarily... it's the fact that they're being serious about it AND demanding everyone else take them just as seriously.

If you're offended by just the dress up part, then I can see how you feel blackface is also offensive. I wouldn't care for either, it's just that only one of those demands I partake in the false reality (psychology aside), while the other is just parody (sometimes it's actually offensive, but that says something about the person doing it, not the act of dressing up as some other race).

And yes, if the outrage was more consistent that would at least prove is not also a political weapon.
