Since “One Margarita,” a remix of a Sister Cindy speech, went viral, the campus evangelist is more famous than ever. Students aren’t sure that’s the best thing.
“As a grown woman, I personally want to celebrate my sexual freedoms. I don’t ever want to be a part of making other people feel like they can’t be themselves,” Moore tells. “Even when I created [the ‘One Margarita’ song], it wasn’t to poke fun at Sister Cindy. I was just inspired.”, Moore joked with co-host and comedian Kevin Fredricks that the entire sermon sounded like a hyped rap song. She asked for a beat and spit a few bars over a rhythm pounded out on a desktop.
Even though “One Margarita” has ostensibly flipped Sister Cindy’s messaging on its head, some are still concerned by the fact that she has any platform to begin with. Inari Owens and Ezra B. are executive board members of Spectrum LSU, an on-campus organization and resource for LGBTQ students. . It was at LSU where Sister Cindy gave her infamous margarita speech, renaming the school “Louisiana Slut University” during her visit.
“A lot of students show up for ironic support, to watch the spectacle, and hear her say her catchphrases,” Ezra says. “She has a very well-maintained social media presence. She has merch. When she came to campus, she literally had a costume contest and whoever dressed the most like her got an autographed Bible. The college experience now is having Sister Cindy or whatever other preacher that’s trying to go viral come to your campus and try to have their moment.
“There is a lot of humor in what she does, but it’s also very important to recognize that she’s coming at this from a genuine belief in slut shaming and conservative culture,” Owens says. “The joke is not always going to be funny to people, especially people who have been harmed by hateful speech before. And it’s very important to be aware of that and to make sure you are not harming other people by even jokingly continuing to spread the rhetoric.
