Lido Pimienta Speaks Out After Racism Controversy (She asked whites to move to the back of the room)
Billboard ^ | 10/31/2017 | Karen Bliss

Posted on 11/03/2017 12:03:23 AM PDT by aquila48

Lido Pimienta: I started asking men specifically to go to the back of the room because in my 15+ years of attending shows, both on stage and in the audience, men make it unsafe for me to be in such spaces.

From the audience’s point of view, [men] for the most part will not think twice before they put themselves right in front of you. I am a short woman, so I always have to show up very early to be able to enjoy the music, to see the acts... From the stage point of view, I noticed how most men who plant themselves at the front, they tend to overpower ME. Their presence usually at my own show is a threatening one and I have had men grab me, grab my hands, grab my waist, scream "TE AMO MAMACITA." My show is all about high energy and high feminine power, so I can see for some men, my energy reads "sexual" and they feel like my show is FOR THEM, when in fact, my show if anything, is for WOMXN.

When I started asking womxn to the front, I noticed how white women were usually at the front and brown girls would be behind the white girls, a bit more shy, a bit more restrained. Even at HPX, I had to call out a few black girls who were "too shocked" and felt I was "putting them on the spot" by saying, "Girl come to the front! This is for you!" As an immigrant, as an Afro-Indigenous person, as an intersectional feminist, as a mother and all of the other signifiers that qualify me as "other," I understand what it is like to not see yourself in the media...

What a loathsome POS!

One truly must be filled with self-hate if white and contributes even a dime to her livelihood.

I think the claim of attraction by men is a fantasy. She just another brown skinned angry woman with a huge ass.

Another race divider hard at work.

Can we just deport or exile right on the spot when they out themselves like this? They don’t belong here anyway. It matters not if they were born here; they have no sense of honor, decency, or patriotism. No love for this country so they should be deported to the country they do love.

It’s really just common sense.

That would most definitely be true in her case.

I’ve never heard of this idiot; sounds like I haven’t missed out on anything good.

“Womxn.” Give me a small break.

intersectional

I stopped reading at that point too. There is nothing worth anyone's time after that but pure bile.

White men have been targets of bigotry for a long time.

However, when White men are disenfranchised, White women are treated as targets of bigotry as well.

She means, “as a racist douche bag”.
