Chicago's Black Drag Council gets called out for being divisive and racist

It's on YouTube, too

Cancel that drag queen named NIGELLA.

OBVIOUSLY racist.

The comments on the YouTube are FULL of drama!

Part of me wonders if Lucie Stoole made this to get attention, because her linking to it on Twitter is how I saw it.

She's now hissing at Rebecca Makkai about thr article, which was fine.

Sounds like a dramatic, delusional queen to me.

Black drag queens inevitably eat their own.

Lucie Stoole is a hideous drag name, and she looks like 400 pounds of cellulite stuffed into a macrame plant holder in that photo.

Freaks!

She's a trainwreck (and not the fun kind), but the name "Lucie Stoole" did give me a chuckle.

The Twitter thread is full of outraged people all trying to out-outrage each other. Some are LITERALLY SHAKING!

This whole thing smells a bit Jussie to me.

Rotunda Washington is my fat, black drag name.

Video posted at 2:48pm CST. The tweet being outraged about it goes out at 3:29pm. I am thinking this is a false scandal to get attention.

Best YouTube reply so far:

"Sometimes I wish Marsha never gave gay men rights"

🤣 Love it!

The video is very, very.....Datalounge

Can some one fill me in on what's going down? I am clueless to the Chicago drag scene.

What the hell is a t-Rex?

These people are stunted emotionally. They’re still 7 years old and live in a fantasy land.

Who is syntax?

I love their demands letter. It reads like a ransom letter. Do these people have real jobs? Arrested development on full display.

R19 their real jobs are begging for money and holding drag shows designed to make white people "uncomfortable" by calling them all racist. This then fuels guilt payments to the queens. They used their power of "we decide what is racist" to push out Trannika Rex, a longtime white Chicago drag queen, and were looking for more targets.

If you want to know the types of fucked up mentalities behind it, look no further The Vixen, who makes the "Black Girl Magic" drag show that features all of them. She was in RuPaul's Drag Race and is very, very, toxic. They have been taking full advantage of the "everyone is racist" movement.

Short armed creature. Like Henry Cavill.

"Can some one fill me in on what's going down? "

Well, there was once a failed drag queen named Fatte Matte and the rest is tragedy.

Like, they could write an opera about this. Not a good one. Kind of a gimmicky like that Jerry Springer one. Although, that one had a kind of unexpected influence on Youtube "culture."

Here's a link

They're mad at a well known writer, Rebecca Makkai, who did the article, because.....I have no idea?

Apparently she didn't just write 1000 percent pro Lucy content because she was being a journalist, and covering multiple points of view. But this is apparently "problematic" and now people are blaming her for the video.

These people are dumb twats.

Poor Chicago. In the 80s you had Frankie at the Warehouse downtown, Berlin and Cabaret Voltaire uptown, and Paradise and Christopher St (long before Roscoes/Sidetracks) for the mainstream gays. And BMX remixes and XRT indie on the radio.

Now you get this.

I miss the good old days when Miss Foozie was the only Chicago drag queen everyone knew and loved. It’s time for her reanaissance.

R25 True, I almost miss that old fat pineapple headed bitch!

The Youtube comments are hilarious. They really are trying to shut the person down. Even threatening violence.

I’d really love to shout, “Get a fucking job!” at them.

Literal violence!

These are the same sloppy messes from the ghetto who come to Boystown and start shit. Their “audience” can’t afford to ever get in any club. They sleep in a church called The Crib. They start explosive scenes at the Center On Halsted. Ghetto stunt queens.

Sounds like a Bad Gurls Club some TV exec needs to commission.

Lucie Stoole. What a tacky hoot!

Looks like a toilet someone forgot to flush

Gee, they have no problem appropriating black women's self-empowerment memes--e.g., "Say Her Name" and "Black Girl Magic."

[quote]Trannika Rex... Say Her Name!"

I would prefer not to.

Give them a reality show,

r36 they've been on Ru Paul's Drag race, or some of them have, anyway.

[quote] "Trannika Rex... Say Her Name!"

She is a victim of MURDER, just like George Floyd and Breonna Taylor!

She has been LITERALLY ERASED!

Wow, I so don't care

The video is funny in a satirical sense but I'm sure no one is going to any of these shows.

That video is fucking racist as hell.

It's satire - it also seems to be made by a person "of color", according to the comments.
