Singer Asks White People to Move to the Back at Concert
PJ Media ^ | 10-30-2017 | Tom Knighton

It was just one person who refused to budge. She was not going to move to the back because she was born with the "wrong" pigmentation.

No, I'm not talking about Rosa Parks.

I'm talking about a volunteer photographer at a Canadian pop festival who refused to move to the back of the crowd when the singer asked her to -- because she wanted no whites up front. Then, to make things really stupid, the festival apologized for the racism ... of the volunteer (emphasis mine):

A music festival in Halifax, Canada has apologized for “overt racism” following a volunteer staffer’s refusal to move to the back because she is Caucasian.

According to the National Post, performer Lido Pimienta, who won the 2017 Polaris Prize, frequently asks all white members of her audience to move to the back and give up their seats to non-white audience members. They must do so regardless of whether they pay more for their seating.

The Halifax Pop Explosion music festival is apologizing for the actions of a photographer who refused to acquiesce to Pimienta’s request during her October 19 show. Her refusal to do so was considered an “interruption” and deemed an act of “overt racism,” according to the festival’s board of directors, who are now promising to make changes to the event. .....

>>> And the white cuck audience members comply?

Yes, I guess.

And these white audience would probably feel VERY GOOD about themselves.

Isn’t this the time of year when Canada always experiences White Supremacy?

They don't call it the Great White North for nothing.

Only a weak, self loathing, white, liberal, virtue signalling idiot would ever attend this person's concerts. This is ridiculous. I almost wish I'd been there and up front when this 'request' was made.

Sheesh! White jobs are whack jobs for even showing up for a racist raccoon. They deserve to be shoved to the back.
Hope they paid a mint for front seats and got relegated to the bathroom hallway.

The ticket purchase supports this crap.

If I were inclined to go to one of this person’s performances and paid more to sit up front, there’s be NO WAY I’d be moving. And the first person who laid a hand on me to force the issue would be pulling back a bloody stump.

why on earth would a photog want to move to the rear of a group?

Why in the world would anybody pay good money to support such reverse racism from said singer?


It’s not reverse racism. It’s racism.

Woo-hooo, BFD! Even it was “racism”, there are far worse things in the world.

There is no such thing as reverse racism. There is just racism.

Was this volunteer photographer supposed to be taking pictures on behalf of the event?

Just read that the photographer was documenting the event and sanctioned by the organizers. There were some other white audience members who “reacted negatively” as well.

“Here’s hoping that a good number of liberals there, became former liberals on that day. This would do it.”

More likely they happily cucked their way to the back of the bus

No such thing as “reverse racism,” an unfortunate phrase that reinforces the leftist canard that racism only flows in one direction, from light-skinned people to dark-skinned people.

Racism is both perpetrated and experienced by people of every colour and ethnicity, so it is absurd to suggest it flows backwards somehow.

Lido Pimienta is a garden-variety racist who demands segregation at her concerts. This being Canada, I hope someone files a complaint against her with the human-rights tribunal. Serves her right.

As long as whites are pusssified and cower in fear from feral negroes, it will only get worse as they are emboldened.
