TalesofMedz 07/07/19 9:27:57 PM #1:	An upcoming Detroit music festival that originally charged white people double the admission that it charged people of color has changed its pricing structure. The festival, Afrofuture Fest, initially charged people of color $20 and non-POC $40, according to the ticketing details on its Eventbrite page early Sunday.

DifferentialEquation 07/07/19 11:59:47 PM #13:	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.
