For all you Non-POC's, time to start reparating.
Can't really see it from the original twatt, but this from the festival's website:

I identify as a POC. Does this still hold ground?

How can they determine race? I thought it was 'an artificial construct.'

Is that a real guy posting that or is he like Lavartis?
I miss Lavartis. He was an American icon of virtue.

The event is real.. and the story true.
A rapper just pulled out of the event due to it.
She went on to say she is all about equity in black communities, but she is against the methods they are trying to use:
A rapper just pulled out of the event due to it.
quote:
Jillian Graham, aka Detroit-based rapper Tiny Jag, pulled out of a local music festival this week because she disagreed with its pay model, in which people of color would pay less for tickets than white festivalgoers.
Graham said she only found out about AfroFuture Fest's pay model when a white friend reached out to her and sent her a screenshot via Instagram that outlined the pay difference. The early bird POC ("people of color") ticket was $10 while the early bird "non-POC" ticket cost $20.
"I was immediately enraged just because I am biracial," Graham tells Metro Times. "I have family members that would have, under those circumstances, been subjected to something that I would not ever want them to be in ... especially not because of anything that I have going on."
Graham says after the festival confirmed the price structure, she immediately withdrew from the event and requested that she be removed from any promotional materials. She says because she had publicly supported the festival without knowing about the discrepancy between the ticket prices, that she had to publicly withdraw her support as well. She did so by taking to Twitter.
"A lot of the songs that I perform are from my first project called Polly — that is my grandmother’s name," Graham says. "How do you want me to come to a performance and perform these songs off a mixtape that is titled after this white woman that you would have charged double to get in here? Like, it’s just outrageous from so many different angles."
She went on to say she is all about equity in black communities, but she is against the methods they are trying to use:
quote:
Graham says that while she is definitely for the goal of putting equity back into the Black community, she doesn’t agree with the method being used to do so. "It’s non-progressive and it’s not solution-focused in my eyes," she says. "It seems almost like it has spite, and unfortunately with spite comes hate, and that’s just not obviously going to be a good direction for us to go if we’re looking for positive change."

People used to criticize me for how intensely I went after Obama. I wonder if any of those fools understand, even now, that Barack Obama is more responsible than anybody for creating the toxic racial environment that exists today?
I truly hope that Obama receives his just reward for what he did to this country. Either now or later. I still believe that he will.

Does this mean she only gets half a discount?
I imagine that the event changes this price structure quickly and gives discounts to any Non-POC that already purchased tickets for the reason you mentioned in your first response- to avoid what seems to me to be pretty clear cut Civil Rights Act violation.

I am not surprised at all.
The old saying goes "give them an inch and they will take a mile".
Thanks Affirmative Action & Quotas.
The person running this festival is stupid. They will be sued and lose.

The soft bigotry of low expectations. The festival is essentially saying if you’re a person of color you obviously can’t afford to attend the event so here’s a discounted ticket so you don’t feel left out.
