So I wanna start with a disclaimer:

I do *not* fuck with pimps.

I do not like pimps.

I think that they are generally scum.

But they probably don’t operate like how you imagine.

First, I wanna address the cultural conception of the “pimp”

This conception is based in white supremacy

It is a black and/or foreign man, who kidnaps little white girls and sells their innocence against their will with violence

This is what you’ve been told is a “pimp”

I need you to delete this from your brain because this caricature of white supremacist fear of physically and sexually aggressive black men does not exist

The first person in the sex industry who tried to be my “pimp” was a skinny 30 year old white woman who was also a stripper.

There’s a reason anti-SW orgs push the imagery of evil non-white men as pimps

I also need everyone to know 99.9999% of pimps are not in the business of kidnapping people and locking them in a hotel room against their will to service customers.

I can’t say it never ever ever ever could happen, but, the VAST majority of the time, it is not that
