Agir admits there are flaws in the “Filha da Tuga” theme. “I publicly apologize” – News

After the singer Irma announced Advertising As he made all the points he deemed necessary about the controversy over the topic “Filha da Tuga”, it was Aguir’s turn to respond to harsh criticism that the song was targeted.

As an active ingredient in the production of the feature and the EP that Irma released as ‘Filha da Tuga’, Agir appeared and appeared to the public to acknowledge the flaws that generated the controversy.

He began by noting, “First of all, I’d like to point out that I’ll never know what it’s like to be in the skin of someone exposed to racism and that I have more to listen and learn than say.”

Bernardo Correia Ribeiro de Carvalho Costa, Ager’s real name, asked for reflection and calm, but stressed that he was aware that it was easy for him to “talk about calm” because he had not suffered “years and years without ending the injustice”. That many have suffered and are still suffering.”

Inventing the theme “Daughter of a toga”

Agger asserts that the song’s lyrics “resulted from a conversation between Irma and Carolina Deslands, in which Carolina helped rhyme the sentences Irma said.”

“The conclusion that Irma asked a white person to write to her what he says about her reality or the reality of society as a whole is not strict. But even if it was just helping, Had she ever asked for help from a black person before? yesand I am sure that is what will happen from now on,” I suppose, agreeing with some of the criticisms made on social networks.

The name and letter that sparked controversy

For the proposed action, “humbly,” to “break down” the words of “Filha da Tuga” into points that have given rise to more controversy.”

Given the history that led to the emergence of name “toga”The musician supposes that he may have offended and hurt several people. He noted, “Knowing that not many people use the word with the intent of antagonizing someone, it is understandable that blacks, who had not even attained the age of 50 were living this reality, were offended and hurt by the word.”

“I am white for blacks, I am black for whites”Perhaps this was the phrase that created the most controversy among critics and is now squashed:

“Without comparing what a person with darker skin suffers from with race, for it cannot be compared, and, consciously starting from a place of privilege for him, there are still light-skinned people, born, who feel unworthy of a man” because they do not perceive them as white or black,” he justified, emphasizing that “The singer doesn’t intend to say that she has suffered the same and equals people with dark skin“.

“I am a mixture of land and discovery”, this phrase sung by Irma leads us to believe that the words refer to the discoveries. The artist previously clarified that the word discovery is in no way related to the historical event.

Act supported the friend’s version, but assumed another word could have been used instead. “Two generations ago, many people left their homeland in search of a better life. This search, this discovery, what music speaks of. Could the word “discovery” be chosen to be happier? Looking at it now with the breakup, I’m someone I agree with. Of all who wants to romanticize the “discoveries” And the use of another word may leave less room for doubt.”

Rita Pereira’s braids and her accusation of cultural appropriation

The “Filha da Tuga” controversy gained steam after Rita Pereira posted a video showing her dancing to the single with afro-braids in her hair. The actress was accused of cultural appropriation on social networks and the topic gave a lot to talk about.

Bearing in mind the relationship between the topics, Agger decided to put himself in the debate:

“When a white person braids their hair, they do it for purely aesthetic reasons, because they think it’s cute. That way, from the start, it would be legitimate to do it. The problem is that when a person of color does it, they often see diminishing opportunities (more than usual). ), usually in the workplace. Having braids on a person of color is, for the most part, synonymous with losing or not getting your job. So can whites wear braids? In fact, no one is stopping them, but a little awareness and context does no harm to anyone.“.

Finally, Agir ended the post with a public apology. “For my part, I apologize publicly. If I offended anyone, that was not my intention at all. we go together“, he wrote.
