Here is the website for the event. They still have the discriminatory pricing structure in place.

I don't condone the pricing, but I doubt if AfroFuture was something I would've attended anyway.

Basically, people (who are mostly black) who live where this event is held are too poor to afford to go. But the people who don't live there (who are white) can afford it. So to be "fair," the group that is considered to be too poor is getting a discount.

...At least, that's the reasoning given.

Every time I read about "equity instead of equality" it just sounds like an excuse for racist behavior
