I defended it? Nah, I pointed out the facts & called out the poster claiming Canada is lost because of this incident. That's ridiculous & overly dramatic, period.
The way the story is presented and the fact that the entire festival, tax payer funded, try to portray the anti-racist as a racist clearly shows that this is far more than just "a single person" being racist. Its clear there are some sick issues going on when this is allowed to happen and not condemned in the strongest possible way. You know full well that this would never fly if the roles were reversed.
Yep, the artist and the festival were wrong. Point blank, if I were at a festival, and someone told me to give up my space at the front for another race, or even for the fan of another band, I'd tell them to ****-off.
No one can change how others behave, we can only change how we react.
Racists will always be racists. If you don't fight back, then you would always be bullied.
So yes, I agree with you. I would have done the same thing.

They are lost. They are so far in the SJW weeds it's disgusting. Every institution up there follows the SJW doctrine just like the big sisters that they want to be like. Europe.

It barely seems to be an issue at all. I see very little coverage or discussion of the incident on Google. Canadians must not think anything noteworthy happened.
Blacks are continually bringing up the issue of racism over everything and anything.
By doing so they distance themselves from an integrated society more than any other factor. Protests, i.e, NFL, has now made racists of people who were liberals and supported black causes in the past. Many people look at black professionals like doctors, etc., as been given a preference over other races simply because they are black and thereby questioning their ability.
I think one of the fastest growing groups are Hispanics. Why don't we hear complaints for them? Same goes for Asians and others.
Society is growing tired of the black boy who cries wolf.
After the artist invited brown people to the front; the story says a number of folks reacted with overt racism.
It would appear to me that the overt racism does NOT refer to their refusal to move but to actions or comments.
But it looks like the story has fluffed and is NOT reporting the exact nature of that racism.
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...
Liberalism preaches tolerance on their terms only! Minorities are taught racism, whites are taught that they are racist
The White woman who refused to move was a volunteer, meaning she probably didn't pay to get in.
If a band asks a volunteer to make room for paying customers, for whatever reason, move, only a douchebag would refuse.
