Considering Detroit has a bad history of racism, the people behind that festival are pretty fucking ignorant.

I suspect that would have some trouble with legal challenges, but really the bigger issue is that it's just kind of a mean thing to do.

Did they honestly think that it would go over well to begin with? It's blatant racism. If you want to send a message and create change, you don't counter racism with racism. You put yourself above it and send a message with a better example.

How do we end racism? No, we fight racism by changing the definition of racism to say that only white people can be racist. Then people can be bigoted toward them without it being racism. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The decision to change course came after threats and harassment, said Adrienne Ayers, who goes by Numi and is the founder and co-director of Afrofuture Youth. She said that after right-wing websites highlighted the pricing, people called and harassed the owner of the venue, and sent messages to her co-directors family. Yep, it's the fault of right wing websites, such as various subreddits and the Twitter feed of one of the musicians who pulled out because of this, for bringing their racially discriminatory pricing model to the public's attention. It's not the fault of the organizers for trying to charge separate prices based on race. --- There's no business to be taxed. ... Copied to Clipboard!

How would a white person possibly feel safe attending a festival that clearly hates them (they still defend their racism even after the decision) let alone be willing to pay more for the opportunity?
