A young poet will play a video of white people being hit by food as part of her performance at the Brighton Fringe.Oh. Brighton. *rolls eyes*
Subira Wahogo, 24, is a Sussex University graduate who is heavily involved in creative arts.
She has chosen this visual performance for the festival to highlight the different types of racism that happens in society.Thank god for universities, eh? What would we do without their commitment to educating our young people?
Without them, we might think there's only one form of racism...
“Last summer I went to the beach with my friend.
“We were lying down and relaxing, and this man came up to us and made a pass at us, he called us coffee and cream.
“It made me very angry.
“Right after the incident at the beach, I wrote on Facebook and asked if anyone else has had similar experiences and I got many responses.
“Some people responded saying they have been called ‘Bounty’, ‘Oreo’, ‘chocolate’, ‘chocolate milk’, Nandos chicken and even sweet and sour sauce.
“Unfortunately that was not the first time I’ve been labelled as a food.”Aww, dry those tears, honey.
Oops!

ReplyDeleteSo, if I understood aright, the bloke called both, both races, foods ? Her grizzle is what? She is up in arms that her white Bestie was called 'cream'? Perhaps her 'artwork' will include blacks being pelted with 1 lite Tetras of milk? Packs of frozen UHT 'Cream'?
I'd have thought 'Ham' would be more appropriate for such a two-bit drama queen.
ReplyDeleteThe comments are funny and more entertaining than the article. My favourite is from The Admiral:
ReplyDeleteBaked beans are good for your art
The more you throw the more you f@rt
The more you paint the better you'll feel
Throw more beans at every meal.
Pure class!
:o)
A black person throwing perfectly good food at people in the of art while her non gender specific countryfolk and children are dying of starvation (caused, obviously, by white racism). Does she not realise that Black Lives Matter?
ReplyDeleteSilly cow.

Crumpet anyone? I left it under the grill a tad too long, but I could scrape it if you wish.
ReplyDeleteShe brings to mind another food:- Crackers!
ReplyDeleteSorry to have to say, but when John Eddlin packed up his superb sandwich shop in Ship Street, you might just as well chuck out all the food the other places in Brighton bring out...
ReplyDeleteHoney, sugar, peaches and cream complexion... apparently food-related descriptions have never been applied to white women.
ReplyDeleteNoticeably the adjectives applied to the non-white women are intended to be compliments as the foods are all ones most people like.
Incidentally, something tells me that the Great Artist would have no hesitation in aiming uncomplimentary adjectives at men.
"So, if I understood aright, the bloke called both, both races, foods ?"
ReplyDeletePerhaps, by 'cream', he meant thick?
"I'd have thought 'Ham' would be more appropriate for such a two-bit drama queen."
Heh!
"The comments are funny and more entertaining than the article."
That's such a common phenomenon!
"Crumpet anyone? I left it under the grill a tad too long, but I could scrape it if you wish."
:D
"Incidentally, something tells me that the Great Artist would have no hesitation in aiming uncomplimentary adjectives at men."
Such as 'gammon'..?
