...whites...take over events...
Venues set prices and ticket dates.
Early bird gets the front row seats.
But you'll pay for those front row seats.

Will Pay Reparations Through "Front Row" Project
(Our apologies for the limited view of the stage from the wings
since the front row was so wide. Please utilize the wide screen displays.)

...by displacing black students in the front rows....
If black students wanted front row seats then they
needed to pay front row prices, just like everybody else.
They paid something to get into the concert,
just not enough for front row seating.

Economics speaks, not race.
It's all about the Benjamins.
What did you pay for your seat
and who profited from that?
The performer or the guy in the front row?

Are court side seats at basketball games next?
End zone seats at football games?
Or do you like the 50 yard line?

A recipe for endless insanity

For 2018-19 year this school was running > $77K.

This is a private Liberal arts school.

It is selective in its enrollment policies.

It does offer an income graduated tuition but the fees alone are going to cost over $20K

But the student is still going to have to meet the academic requirements.

So the chances of anyone from the hood getting in are slim.

This sounds more to me like this first year student is talking more about Cultural Appropriation.

White people should not be attending Black Music concerts in large numbers.

If the White Students did not attend there would not be any Black Band concerts on campus. The Black Bands would not be making money and Black artist would not be able to make a living.

It is likely that the writer does not understand that ticket sales are necessary for the artist to come to campus. She probably believes that the college should pay the full price of the band’s concert.

Just more lack of thinking on the part of an immature poorly formed mind.
