Here's what they said when asked:

WHY DO WE HAVE POC(PEOPLE OF COLOR) AND NONPOC(WHITE PEOPLE) TICKETS? I'M GLAD YOU ASKED!

EQUALITY MEANS TREATING EVERYONE THE SAME.

EQUITY IS INSURING EVERYONE HAS WHAT THEY NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

OUR TICKET STRUCTURE WAS BUILT TO INSURE THAT THE MOST MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES (PEOPLE OF COLOR) ARE PROVIDED WITH AN EQUITABLE CHANCE AT ENJOYING EVENTS IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITY(BLACK DETROIT).

AFFORDING JOY AND PLEASURE IS UNFORTUNATELY STILL A PRIVILEGE IN OUR SOCIETY FOR POC AND WE BELIEVE EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO RECEIVING SUCH.

WE'VE SEEN TOO MANY TIMES ORGASMIC EVENTS HAPPENING IN DETROIT AND OTHER POC POPULATED CITIES AND WHAT CONSISTENTLY HAPPENS IS PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFITING MOST FROM AFFORDABLE TICKET PRICES BECAUSE OF THEIR PROXIMITY TO WEALTH.

THIS CYCLE DISPROPORTIONATELY DISPLACES BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE FROM ENJOYING ENTERTAINMENT IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES.

AS AN AFROFUTURIST YOUTH LEAD INITIATIVE THE VOICES OF OUR YOUTH INFORM OUR RESISTANCE.

HERE'S WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY:

"IF YOU DON'T SEE MY BLACKNESS, YOU DON'T SEE ME. PERIOD!"

Bunch of weak-minded individuals.

Nothing like a sugar-coated racism price hike to justify your BS.

White people who attend this trash despite what's happening, deserves to be ripped off.

Even a rapper told them to take a hike:

Rapper pulls out of AfroFuture Fest after finding out white people charged more than people of color.

That rapper's grandmother is white so I'm not surprised.

I think charging culture vultures extra to attend a black event is a great idea. They're getting their Mooney on the front end because they won't get it on the back end when their ideas are stolen, repackaged and sold to the masses

Detroit has the highest percentage of black people than any city in the country yet you couldn't seem to find ONE. Interesting...🤔
