Typical liberal response, when presented with facts resort to name-calling or demeaning a persons intelligence!

Wow keep making excuses, ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE TOLD TO MOVE TO THE BACK!!! The volunteer is the one person who stood up to this RACIST festival. But I know it's not racist because only whites can be racist!

That's the point!! If the roles were reversed it would make international headlines in the West!!

So it is really two stories.

1 an artist over compensates and stupidly asks brown people to come to the front...(yep she was stupid)

2 some folk object but get racist doing it.(this is the part that is not clear)

The company releasing the statement appear to have ducked this up and made it worse by not clarifying exactly what these 'racist" folk did that was racist. If it was just refusing to move, well those white racists should bring a full bore lawsuit for defamation or whatever a lawyer can drum up. And if the so called "racist" actually did act out in a racist manner the artist and the company should make it clear exactly what happened.

this story was PURPOSELY vague when it comes to the exact nature of the racism...
I can agree with that

Rosa Parks was racist for not moving to the back of the bus.

She's a photographer, having goid sight lines is important. Id bet she showed up early to getvtgat spot. Hard to believe she was going to get it back after the song too.

Well, I just got my ass handed to me, and in this case, it appears that the "Rosa Parks" in this story were all the white folks.

That said, someone else brought up a good point. "What was the racist action?" Was it refusing to give up their seat? Or were they being overtly racist, calling names and whatnot. The article WAS vague, and that makes a world of difference. In any case, asking all (insert any demographic) to move to the back to make room for (another demographic) is flat out wrong. But how the people reacted is very relevant. Rosa Parks was a peaceful and respectful demonstrator, and gave her detractors nothing to demonize her with. If the whites at this concert did the same, then the statement in the OP is correct. If they threw fuel on the fire, then it looks like there was blame to go around.

What they do in Canada is their business.

That’s a goofy story if there ever was one.

This is not an ambiguous situation. The article is quite clear what happened:

1) Singer tells all brown women to come to the front and to essentially take spots where people already are.

2) White woman photographer, already at the front (working volunteer for festival), does NOT give up her spot for a brown woman.

3) White woman kicked OUT of festival because her actions are deemed racist.

4) Singer denounces the racism of the white woman who refused to give up her seat for a brown woman.

5) Music festival apologizes to singer and others for the racism of the white woman.


The white woman did NOTHING WRONG. She was reacting to racism. Good for her for standing her ground.


Maybe more people just need to start reacting to this SJW nonsense by simply saying, "No." And "Shut the **** up." At some point the SJW will either give up or go home. The more apologies they garner, the more tortured requests for foregiveness, the more emboldened they become.
