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!"
I have been saying this for some time, that the term “people of color” would exclude others as non-persons. To these, color is all that matters. Notice he refers to his “blackness”. Well, we noticed it homie, we sure notice. And you can pound sand.

They sure do get bent out of shape over “affirmative action bake sales”, but somehow this is OK.
Everyone is a person of color! Morons! If not you could not see us! Maybe you don’t. Maybe we all look alike. Maybe you are a racist!
POC = Pocahontas?
Remember, “If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product.” Think about that when you accept the “POC” discount.
Depending on which DNA test, I have 3-6% African DNA.
So do I get the lowest ticket price or 3-6% off.
Also, Ancestry.com documents that dozens of my ancestors were Cherokee and other Indian tribes. Nothing showing on their DNA profile yet. You might need a Cray computer to document what % of my bloodline is so called Native American.
So does Ancestry.com’s documents count towards making me a person of color with the Documented African DNA?
If this crazy BS is not forgotten, people like me will be able to drive the crazy pushers of this racist stuff, even more Bat Guano Insane!
People/Persons of Color.

Sorry about the all caps. I cut and pasted.
Again. Sorry. I had cut and pasted from the link.
Didn’t make that clear in my post though.

If this is legal, then it would also be legal for businesses to charge “people of color” higher prices.
“Seeing as how I am guilty of being white, I only feel it my way of atoning for my sin. In fact, I may buy two tickets and give one to the black man behind me. Wait a minute, how can I stand here and allow my brother who is less fortunate to stand behind me? I see that there are 20 brothers of another mother standing in my shadow. I shall move to the end of that line.” - White Snowflake (are there any other kind?)
Is that woman misappropriating the Polish flag?
What would Pocahontas have to pay?
The homes on that block range from $5,000 to $64,000 (Realtor.com).
I saw that after I found it on the web. I had to search since you didn’t give a link.

Why are they SCREAMING?
