Vanity: Upcoming Detroit Festival Charges "Non Persons of Color" Double Price to Attend
Vanity ^

Posted on 07/06/2019 8:55:43 AM PDT by TigerClaws

Posting as VANITY in hopes some news folks here will cover this as a 'real story.'

From the page:

WHY DO WE HAVE POC(PEOPLE OF COLOR) AND NONPOC(WHITE PEOPLE) TICKETS? I'M GLAD YOU ASKED!

EQUALITY MEANS TREATING EVERYONE THE SAME

EQUITY IS INSURING EVERYONE HAS WHAT THEY NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL OUR TICKET 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.

WE'VE SEEN TOO MANY TIMES ORGASMIC EVENTS HAPPENING IN DETROIT AND OTHER POC POPULATED CITIES AND WHAT CONSISTENTLY HAPPENS IS PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFITING MOST FROM AFFORDABLE TICKET PRICES BECAUSE OF THEIR PROXIMITY TO WEALTH. THIS CYCLE DISPROPORTIONATELY DISPLACES BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE FROM ENJOYING ENTERTAINMENT IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES. AS AN AFROFUTURIST YOUTH LEAD INITIATIVE THE VOICES OF OUR YOUTH INFORM OUR RESISTANCE.

HERE'S WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY

" IF YOU DON'T SEE MY BLACKNESS, YOU DON'T SEE ME. PERIODT!"

$20 for persons of color.

$40 for non persons of color.

Would Obama have to pay $30 because he's half/half?

1 Samuel 16:7. God sees the heart of man. Check the Scriptures for complete verse and context.

What if I just...identified as a POC? What if I was “trans-colored”?

Jeez...nevermind. I’m not THAT desperate to go to any event.

Well if it’s going to be an orgasmic event, it’d be a bargain at twice the price.

Why would any sane person of non-color attend an event such as this. Would it be to enjoy the adrenalin rush when the feral persons of color begin brawling and shooting and chasing those of non-color?

I think the best strategy would be to self-identify as a member of some obscure - but real - American Indian tribe. For example, who there could say you're not a Yaqui? Just remember to get all indignant if they ask for proof.

Or you could really push the envelope, and self-identify as Hekawi.
