I once knew a man who delivered spiritual-based talks. He was a good speaker. Folks wanted to politely clap at the end to show their appreciation. But this man had a gimmick that was guaranteed to get them to think about him longer. Every time he'd say, "Do not clap for me. Instead, bow your head in prayer and think about the lesson today and talk to God about it. I am nothing. Merely an instrument and if you clap for me you will be worshiping a man, not God."
He was so self-righteous about his nothingness that it came across as creepy. Of course nobody clapped. Who wants to self-identify as a worshiper of a human when God is in the house.
Lido Pimienta, a proudly Brown female performer, also has a gimmick. You see, she tells white audience members to move to the back and all the Brown girls to move to the front. But her gimmick is not what you think.
Pimienta wants you to believe she is all about level playing fields and access for all and so forth. She isn't. But we'll get to the real reason for her gimmick momentarily.
Pimienta says she's never had any trouble with getting the white folk to do move until she went to Halifax. In Canada. Yes, Canada, that bastion of free healthcare and political correctness that all good Politically Correct Democratic RINO Socialist Fascist Commies in the U.S. say is where they want to be.
Her great comment was that she didn't have time to waste with the white aggressive racists who were taking time out her set.
But there was not problem until Ms. Lido made one. And the scaredy-cat whiny butt festival fell right in line with it saying —
“We are going to try our best as a festival to create ways to make our spaces safer and more accessible for you. We hope we can rebuild some trust and that you will come back to our shows.”
Until Pimienta deployed her gimmick to get free column inches in newspapers.
From the DailyWire.com to Billboard.com to the NationalPost.com and more mainstream media outlets, Pimienta received massive amounts of free advertising and all she had to do was pose as a do-gooder who cares.Snoop Dogg and Eminem do the same thing, too. Here's my case history of Mathers. Here's the offer I made to Calvin.
