Julius Caesar was assassinated for wearing red boots. Barrack Obama was lambasted for wearing a tan suit. Purple is associated with royalty, white is associated with clergy, and gold is associated with superiority. Red and Blue have powerful meanings in America, and so does Green. Which colour is the most political in your opinion?

    Purple is probably the only one that I’m aware of on your list where there’s a legit logic behind it, since dyes used to be harder to come by

      Drag thinks maybe there’s a historical reason why white is associated with purity and black with sin, and it ain’t because of the price of dye.

      EDIT: Drag just wants to talk about colours, not have to defend drag’s identity!
