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.

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

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

I would never go to this kind of concert. If I were magically transported to it, and this happened, I would say “F*CK YOU! YOU RACIST B!TCH!” and refuse to move. Yes.

I would own the concert hall and the b!tch would be on food stamps.

Canada didn’t really do the slavery thing, though Canadians are generally easy to get guilted into things. My Canadian wife greatly fears the easy pickins’ Muslims will find most of the Canadaian populace.

“...asks all white members of her audience to move to the back....”

And the white cuck audience members comply?

Thank goodness for the courage of this white female; the white male betas should be sent to boot camp ASAP.
