Some Ladies Threw A Lime At Solange

Some Ladies Threw A Lime At Solange:

Beyonce’s sister Solange Knowles took to Twitter last night to tell the tale of the time she and her family were at a Kraftwerk show in New Orleans when some nasty ladies told her to sit down and stop dancing. And threw a lime at her. Wait, what? I’m gonna let Solange step in here in a sec. I’m also going to give her the “cool mom” stamp for taking her kid to a Kraftwerk show.



(For those of you not in the know, the German band Kraftwerk is kind of the prototype for every electronic music band or DJ in the world. They began in 1969! You can begin your journey on the “Autobahn” here.)

According to Solange, it all started with some dancing.

Let me tell you about why black girls / women are so angry….

I’m listening reading…

I took my son, his friend, and my husband to see Kraftwerk in New Orleans…

Was very excited to dance and enjoy a band I love.

4 older white women yell to me from behind, “Sit down now” . I tell them I’m dancing at a concert. They yell, “u need to sit down now”…

I’m already siding with Solange on this one. Unless the person behind you is disabled or it’s chamber music, you’re at a damn show, people might be standing and dancing in front of you. Feel free to come for me on this one, I could be a party of two with Basement Baby here.

We are at an ELECTRONIC and DANCE music concert and you are telling…not asking me…to sit down. In front of my child.

Here’s where I’m wondering if Solange brought her elevator game. Actually no, and she didn’t even invite a bitch INTO her elevator of beatdown despite someone hitting her in the back with a lime.

But in this moment, I’m just going to share my experience…

So that maybe someone will understand, why many of us don’t feel safe…

…in many white spaces…

We don’t “bring the drama”….

Fix yourself.

The next time someone wastes delicious citrus fruit by hurling it at me, I’m going with “fix yourself” as well. That’s vitamin C. Or, at the very least, an orange slice for my pint of Blue Moon that’s now been lost. Asshole.

You can read about the entire incident and Solange’s thoughts about it on her Twitter account. Seriously, though, the heifers who were giving her shit for having a good time are extremely lucky that they didn’t hear a “ding” and see Solange come flailing out of her fight elevator at them. Jay-Z is probably still licking his wounds from that incident.
