Twice the price

A music festival charges whit people twice as much as "People of color".
That is a heck of a business model................
C&P
An upcoming Detroit music festival that originally charged white people double the admission that it charged people of color has changed its pricing structure.
The festival, Afrofuture Fest, initially charged people of color $20 and ?non-POC? $40, according to the ticketing details on its Eventbrite page early Sunday. Now all tickets will be $20.
The decision to change course came after threats and harassment, said Adrienne Ayers, who goes by Numi and is the founder and co-director of Afrofuture Youth. She said that after right-wing websites highlighted the pricing, people called and harassed the owner of the venue, and sent messages to her co-director?s family.
?For safety, not anything else but that, the new ticket structure will be a standard set price across the board of $20,? Ms. Ayers said Sunday afternoon. ?However, there will be a suggested donation for non-people of color.?

I wonder who thinks up this garbage and go's to a food stall to be lectured by some hambone about rayce, especially some jackwagon from Nigeria, yep Nigeria what a bastion of freedom :roll:
C&P
Wey says that when customers come up to his window to place an order, he tells them that his food stall aims to engage people on the topic of racial income and wealth disparities and to share statistics on these disparities. He then informs them that customers who identify as white are being asked to pay the higher $30 price to reflect these disparities. Customers also have the option to pay the listed $12 price. The difference between the $12 and $30 meals, all customers are informed, will be redistributed to minorities who buy food at the stall. How do white customers react to the proposition?
"Some of them are enthusiastic, some of them are bamboozled a bit by it," Wey says. "But the majority of white folks, nearly 80 percent, decided to pay."
"That was definitely higher than we expected," says Anjali Prasertong, a graduate student in public health at Tulane University who helped Wey design the experiment and collect data.

Well they are finally admitting they're to stupid to compete with white people and they're begging for handouts from them. Normally the government does the begging for them.
I have to say that is 100% spot on
Well said especially when the libtards want to take another look at busing.
WHITE IS A COLOR!!!
We have enough gun laws, what we need is IDIOT control.
Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.
I thought getting old would take longer. :shock:
LMAO.. pay 40 and get a free switch blade for the after concert riot.
Five people come to the counter. Four decide to pay the higher price.
Technically that is 80% - and certainly sounds a bunch better than "four people decided to pay more".
I am always suspicious when percentages are used without the base numbers. It makes me curious. What were the base numbers? In this case, maybe only five people were the entire number of "white folks" coming to the counter.
Technically correct at 80%, but honestly "four" doesn't sound near as big as 80%.

As for white being color? I thought it was lack of color.
Your to kind on the wiggs
They can never achieve true blackness
Happiest place on earth LMAO
Depends. On print, it is the lack of color. For light, it is a combination of all colors.
