I'm not lying, I'm not a racist. I don't have a racist bone in my body, it is just that the side that represents equality has changed. Today your type manufactures racism where there was none, the right is more likely to judge based on content of character.

True - the more disreputable that character the more likely they are to elect them. Or make them a judge.

I am not a liar nor am I a racist. In fact I'm calling out racism here because I feel it is wrong.
Calling our racism here because you say it is wrong yet support the racist in chief.

Did your pea brain grasp the fact people who are really against racism had no trouble calling it out here.

BTW - Do you know Trump thinks judges are incapable of doing their job if they are Mexican. Not racist to you I guess?

Was the original idea an attempt to keep whites out, or did they think people of color couldn't come up with twenty bucks?

From the quote in the Fox News article:

AfroFuture explained their policy and rationale for it on their Eventbrite page. Organizers cite "equality" and "equity" in their ticketing, and state their structure "was built to insure that the most marginalized communities (people of color) are provided with an equitable chance at enjoying events in their own community (black Detroit)."

"Affording joy and pleasure is unfortunately still a privilege in our society for POC and we believe everyone should have access to receiving such," organizers wrote.

Sounds like more of the latter than the former. Before they changed the pricing, this was a discount for POC's who bought their tickets early.

If a metal concert festival charged twice the price to people of color, but it happened three weeks ago and they changed the policy once their pricing policy made national headlines, would it still be worth discussing here?
you are just so unrelenting in your stupidity.
