Shokazoba's cancellation from the Hampshire Halloween event Friday night at Hampshire College, after one band member said they were criticized of being "too white" to play Afrobeat music, is reverberating on social media.
Another case of guilty white liberals acting stupid. If they feel so bad for being white, why don't they just renounce themselves, pack up, and move away to Africa where they can cohort with all of the idiocy that thrives over there?
Anyway, if that's the only reason the show was cancelled that's wrong. However, who asked for it to be cancelled? It said about 30 students but it didn't mention race. Why assume it was black people in the first place? How many black people go to school in NH anyway?
Ah, I see I was wrong the school is actually located in MA. Still, why assume anything about the people who complained?

I'd reconcile that it was guilty white liberals who acted stupidly. Whomever it was, they need to be identified and mocked publically.
I think it was dumb to cancel the band because of the race of its members.
The band didn't loose any money over it and should move on. The school has the right to hire who they want given the type of event. In their eyes they where justified. Also consider the students are White and the band is White.

Not all the band members are white. This may be actionable for breach of contract, for losing monies that could have been made from future gigs.

Oh so you're saying you should be able to choose who you want to hire based on race?
Hopefully the band will sue for racial discrimination. It's a pretty clean cut case.
