Dear Angie Nixon, Why the fuck are you telling Black parents to take their children to drag shows for some damn “wholesome entertainment”? Is this really what you think our children need? Our children need EDUCATION. They need to learn how to read, write and do math. They need to develop the skills that will allow them to compete, succeed and build meaningful lives. They need to learn how to create generational wealth, manage money, start businesses, become homeowners and build something their children and grandchildren can inherit. They need discipline, confidence, opportunity and adults who are willing to set high expectations for them. They need parents who are supported, schools that educate and communities that give them a real path to success. Black children do not need politicians telling us that drag shows are the answer to what ails our communities. They need to be prepared for the REAL WORLD. And as a Black conservative woman, I find it insulting that you would promote this as some kind of priority for Black families while so many of our children still need better educational opportunities and the tools to become financially independent. There is nothing wrong with entertainment. But entertainment is not a substitute for education, achievement or preparing our children for the future. HOW ABOUT WE START PUTTING OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURES FIRST BEFORE WE START INDOCTRINATING THEM INTO DEGENERATE LIFESTYLES?
