Feminists Against Black Pussy

A group of guys from Portland who have seen Almost Famous too many times started a band and named it Black Pussy. This has infuriated a bunch of black feminists, which is an approved LinkedIn job title now. Naturally, it’s racist and sexist for white guys to utter the words black pussy even if they really just love and respect black pussy or think the name is funny. Black Pussy. I just giggled. A petition began circulating urging people to boycott the band’s current tour. The band has responded by issuing a statement confirming themselves as lovable rogues:

“Black Pussy does not condone or endorse any sexism, racism, ageism, violence, or any other douchebaggery that has been spoiling the party since the party started. If you are offended by the band’s name, please refer to the following video.”

The video is a clip of comedian Doug Stanhope explaining how people who get offended by words are stupid assholes. I accept this as a basic premise. If we’ve reached a point in history where a group of dudes can collectively refer to themselves as Black Pussy I’d say we’re moving in the right direction. This should do more for equal rights than any of your drawn out research papers or empty veiled threats on Twitter. Every band name sounds stupid until that band name sells record then it’s cool as shit. I can see myself holding up my lighter and screaming Black Pussy. It seems like pretty good publicity for a race of women and their vaginas.  I’d shitcan the petition and start tagging Black Pussy on Spotify.
