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-directors family.

Yep, it's the fault of right wing websites, such as various subreddits and the Twitter feed of one of the musicians who pulled out because of this, for bringing their racially discriminatory pricing model to the public's attention. It's not the fault of the organizers for trying to charge separate prices based on race.

They were literally threatened by racists

The organizes themselves are racists. Only a racist would charge one race one price for admission, and another race another price.

discriminatory, not necessarily racist. like "ladies get in free before 11"

maybe if those right wing racial intimidation squads had asked why the price structure was what it was, they're could have been positive dialouge....isnt that the route black people are told to pursue when we use public pressure against entities believed to be engaging in racsim? Dialouge, not cancellation?

It's pricing which discriminates solely on race. That's racist.
