What’s with calling it urban beach Weekend? Liberals have said the word urban is a racist code word. But the organizers of the event call it urban. What’s up with this?

Self-inflicted racism?

They can't call it African Beach Party Weekend, because people might be confused they were talking about Africans like Charlize Theron and accidentally go.

Calling it Urban Beach Week rather than Black Beach Week is much more politically correct. Doing that obscures the root cause of the problems.
