The AfroFuture music festival in Detroit has been forced to reverse their policy of charging white people double the price for tickets, after the ticketing website Eventbrite warned that they do not allow discriminatory pricing structures.

The festival, set to take place August 3rd, was initially offering different ticket prices based on the race of the attendee. For white people, or “non-persons of color,” early bird tickets cost $20, compared with $10 for people of color. For those planning on buying tickets closer to the event date, white people were asked to pay $40 compared with $20 for people of color.

The pricing structure led to a significant backlash, with critics questioning the legality and ethics of the organizers’ race-based pricing. One of the performers, a mixed race rapper named Tiny Jagpulled out the festival in protest, describing it as a “non-progressive” and motivated by “spite.”

However, the organizers have backed down from their position, which they previously claimed would ensure that marginalized groups were given “equitable chance at enjoying events in their own community.”

In a statement provided to CNN, ticketing website Eventbrite said that the company does not “permit events that require attendees to pay different prices based on their protected characteristics such as race or ethnicity.”

“In this case, we have notified the creator of the event about this violation and requested that they alter their event accordingly,” said a company spokesperson. “We have offered them the opportunity to do this on their own accord; should they not wish to comply we will unpublish the event completely from our site.”

Announcing the decision, AfroFuture confirmed that they would scrap the pricing system but would still ask white attendees to pay an extra donation.

“For the safety of our community, family, elders who received threats from white supremacists, & youth who were subjected to seeing racist comments on our IG pg, Afrofuture Fest has changed our ticketing model to $20 General Admission & suggested donation for nonPOC on Eventbrite,” they wrote on Twitter.

The organizers also decided to offer free tickets for people of color, although they quickly sold out. With all $10 “Early Bird” tickets also selling out, the only ticket still on offer is a “General Admission,” priced at $20.

COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR WANTS TO “PUNCH” POLITICAL ADVERSARIES “IN THE NECK”

Colorado State University Professor Wants to "Punch" Political Adversaries "In the Neck"

“I’m done going high”

JULY 8, 2019

A Colorado State University professor says she is done “going high” and is now ready to “punch” her political adversaries “in the neck”.

Professor OiYan Poon was responding to a tweet that stated, “when they go low, you fucking punch them in the neck”.

“I’m almost done reading Michelle Obama’s Becoming, and in reading the subtext, I don’t think she even believes the whole “when they go low, we go high” b.s.,” tweeted Poon.

“Also, this tweet is a mood! I’m done “going high”. #ImReady to “punch them in the neck,” she added.

The phrase “when they go low, we go high,” was used by Michelle Obama in 2016 to encourage taking the high road against low blow tactics and dirty tricks by Republicans.

“Poon teaches higher education leadership at Colorado State and also serves as director of the school’s Race and Intersectional Studies for Education Equity (RISE) Center,” reports Campus Reform.

Poon previously complained that “there was not enough racial diversity in gifs”. She also praised her friend, activist Tanzila Ahmed, who was banned from the Tinder dating app for saying she would not date white men in her bio.

Following Campus Reform’s story on her comments, Poon placed her Twitter account on lockdown.

Antifa Doofus Tries to Burn American Flag in DC, Gives Up When He Can’t Figure Out How to Light Matches (VIDEO)

By Cassandra Fairbanks

An Antifa protester in DC attempted to light the American flag on fire on Saturday, but gave up when they could not figure out how to use the matches.

The aggressive far-left demonstrators were in the city to whine about the Demand Free Speech rally being held by supporters of President Donald Trump who were protesting against Big Tech censorship. Speakers included Laura Loomer, Gavin McInnes and congressional candidate/YouTuber Joey Saldino.

Screen Shot 2019-07-06 at 3.35.20 PM

The black clad activist, with a t-shirt wrapped around his head, fiddled with the matches for approximately 30 seconds before realizing that his attempt to be edgy had failed.

Failed flag-burner was not the only Antifa member being mocked online during the event.

There were also creepy drag clowns and another member of Antifa did their best Bane impression while pointlessly wearing a gas mask without any filters on it, rendering it completely useless.

A mob of white Antifa members also harassed a black Trump supporter and stole the MAGA hat off an Asian man.

The cosplaying activists did not stop the Demand Free Speech rally from taking place, instead spending most of their day harassing random tourists and failing to break through police lines.

JOY REID: TRUMP TREATING MIGRANTS WITH ‘CRUELTY’ BECAUSE ‘BASE WANTS TO SEE THIS’

Joy Reid: Trump Treating Migrants with 'Cruelty' Because 'Base Wants to See This'

MSNBC host paints Trump supporters as inhumane psychopaths ahead of ICE deportations

By Mark Finkelstein

On her MSNBC show this morning, Joy Reid slurred Trump supporters as a bunch of sadists who want to see people at the border cruelly mistreated.

Here was Reid.

“I think I quote you every week, Adam: the cruelty is the point. That’s why they’re doing it, right? His base wants to see this. And so he’s showing them that he can dehumanize them. Isn’t that message coming from the White House, that essentially you don’t have to treat these people like human beings. Who cares?”

https://www.mrctv.org/videos/joy-reid-trump-treating-migrants-cruelty-because-base-wants-see

Reid’s mention of quoting Adam Serwer every week was a reference to his article in The Atlantic, “The Cruelty is the Point.”

Note: after agreeing with Reid that the White House is sending a message that the people at the border are “not real human beings,” Serwer added the caveat that the Trump admin is concerned, for PR reasons, about images of children allegedly being mistreated.

Here’s the transcript:

JOY REID: You know, the dehumanization of these folks, it did remind me, you know, Chris Hayes put up a post, it brings back sort of the memories of the way people treated others during the invasion of Iraq. The sense of, these aren’t even people. Or in our own past. The way that people were able to treat others, whether it’s from enslavement on. They’re just not people so we don’t have to think of them as human beings. 

. . .

I think I quote you every week, Adam: the cruelty is the point. That’s why they’re doing it, right? His base wants to see this. And so he’s showing them that he can dehumanize them. Isn’t that message coming from the White House, that essentially you don’t have to treat these people like human beings. Who cares?

ADAM SERWER: I do think the message is coming from the White House that these people are not real human beings and you don’t have to treat them properly.

PRO-PEDO JOURNO TO JOIN ANTIFA IN DISRUPTING DC FREE SPEECH RALLY

Pro-Pedo Journo To Join Antifa In Disrupting DC Free Speech Rally

Watch undercover footage from within Antifa meeting

By Kelen McBreen

An activist who penned articles supporting pedophilia in the 90s has been identified attending an Antifa meeting on Tuesday.

During the event, members discussed their plan to disrupt and shut down July 6th’s Demand Free Speech Rally in Washington, D.C.

Luke Kuhn has written several articles defending pedophilia, such as one archived piece where he said, “Many early-teenage girls would LOVE a roll in the hay with Leonardo DeCaprio! It is no crime for DeCaprio to take the girls up on the offers he must surely get.”

Then, there is Ronald McDonald the Child Molesting Clownwhere Kuhn downplays the damage molestation does to a child, writing, “After all, a burger loaded with E. Coli or Mad Cow disease will do a child far more damage than some seedy sexual encounter in the woods behind the school could ever dream of. In fact, in the case of Mad Cow disease, all but the most brutal of rapists would do less damage.”

Kuhn also believes pedophile schoolteacher Mary Kay Letourneau should have used deadly force against police during her arrest for molesting a 13-year-old boy, saying, “This woman committed no crime whatsoever.”

“As such, I feel that she had (and has) the right to use deadly force to resist arrest and should have been carrying a gun when she was in the car and planning to flee the United Snakes of AmeriKKKa,” he continued.

D.C. journalists from News2Share infiltrated and filmed a livestream of Tuesday’s Antifa meeting where they spotted Kuhn in attendance.

Watch the full meeting below and see Kuhn around the 29 minute mark wearing a grey shirt with cut off sleeves:

On Monday, an Antifa member was caught threatening to acid attack attendees of the free speech rally, writing, “I just want to toss as many balloons of Muriatic acid in the faces as many Proud Boys I can.”

The threat comes just days after journalist Andy Ngo and two other men were violently attacked by Antifa in Portland, Oregon.
