    Anybody going to AfroFuture Fest?

    You get a better deal on tickets if you are a “person of color”

    White people have to pay double.



    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/n...-based-on-race

    The AfroFuture music and arts festival in Detroit is facing controversy after ticket sales began to use different pricing for people based on the color of their skin.
    The pricing offers lower rates for tickets purchased by "people of color" than it does for "non-people of color." Early bird tickets for "POC" are $10 and $20 for "Non POC." Later date pricing offers "POC" tickets for $20 and "Non POC" tickets for $40. The method of confirming race and identity of ticket purchasers was not immediately clear.


    The organizers of the event, which is scheduled to take place on Aug. 3,
    explained their discriminatory pricing in the "frequently asked questions" section of their event website. It states, "Why do we have POC (people of color) and NONPOC (white people) tickets? I'm glad you asked! Equality means treating everyone the same. Equity is insuring (sic) everyone has what they need to be successful. Our ticket structure was built to insure (sic) that the most marginalized communities (people of color) are provided with an equitable chance at enjoying events in their own community (black Detroit)," the page said.

    I thought this for an AfroMan concert. There could have been a new song:

    "I was gonna go to the Afro Fest, but I was white
    I was gonna jam out like all the rest, but I was white
    Couldn't get in with twenty dollars, and now I know why, hey hey
    Because I was white
    Because I was white
    Because I was whiiiiite.... dada da da da da"

    What if you are a fake Black like Kamala "Kneepads" Harris or half black like Dobama?

    Then what is the charge?

    I can just imagine the riots in the street led by Jesse Jackson and Al the Charleton Sharpton if there was an event that was charging Colored people twice the price of everyone else.

    Strong income inequality between POC and white people. I don’t see a problem with the pricing based on this. White people make probably 2x the amount poc people make.

    The people getting upset about these prices also would never attend such an event in 100 years.

    I agree. There is a strong income inequity between POC and White People. White people are worth 10x the amount that POC's are. They are only getting twice the amount. I do not see anything wrong with running this dumb arsehole out of here. He is worthless.
