I assumed this was an "Onion" type of satirical piece but apparently it's true?

"Jillian Graham, aka Detroit-based rapper Tiny Jag, pulled out of a local music festival this week because she disagreed with its pay model, in which people of color would pay less for tickets than white festivalgoers.
Graham said she only found out about AfroFuture Fest's pay model when a white friend reached out to her and sent her a screenshot via Instagram that outlined the pay difference. The early bird POC [["people of color") ticket was $10 while the early bird "non-POC" ticket cost $20.
"I was immediately enraged just because I am biracial," Graham tells Metro Times. "I have family members that would have, under those circumstances, been subjected to something that I would not ever want them to be in ... especially not because of anything that I have going on."
Graham says after the festival confirmed the price structure, she immediately withdrew from the event and requested that she be removed from any promotional materials. She says because she had publicly supported the festival without knowing about the discrepancy between the ticket prices, that she had to publicly withdraw her support as well."

So, was she screaming about school admissions and hiring policies that do basically the same type of thing?

Do you have any evidence of this? As you know, equal pay for equal work laws have existed for 50 years. School admissions are for the most part based on school districts, the city you pay taxes to. Anyone feeling discriminated against should file suit. You know they'll win.
Another question. Why are you not outraged by this? I guess it's OK when the Left chooses not to treat everyone equally when it suits them. Anyway, hope this festival falls victim to "Get Woke, Go Broke".
Dude, really? You've never heard of Affirmative Action?Do you have any evidence of this? As you know, equal pay for equal work laws have existed for 50 years.

Or the NAACP? UNCF?
Do you also have a problem with Affirmative Action for the rich, such as when Trump got admitted to business school after Daddy’s big donation?
This differential pricing is without a doubt illegal. But I’d think many conservatives would embrace it because “freedom.” Or if the organizers could claim a “religious” basis, which always justifies discrimination to certain folks.

Well the story has made it to Fox's Website. That in itself says little.
Let's see where it doesn't make it.

Obviously not but I am for tax abatements to "rich" developers if it results in economic stimulation, employment and better use of abandoned properties. Gilbert has proven it can be done, not so much the Illitch's but let's wait and see what they have up their sleeve.Do you also have a problem with Affirmative Action for the rich, such as when Trump got admitted to business school after Daddy’s big donation?

I guess I won't be going.
I can take the hint.
This Non POC is Persona Non Grata.
I'm Ok with it. I'm used to it. Nothing new.

Because you were totally going to go otherwise, right Dan?
And yes, you're totally used to it. Oh woe is you, the poor oppressed white man. Do tell us about the systemic racism you experience on a daily basis so we can know what it's like to walk a mile in your New Balances. How many times did your neighbors call 911 on you this week because you existed as a white man in public and they felt threatened?
OMG NOT ALL OLDER WHITE MEN WEAR NEW BALANCES THAT'S SO RACIST!!! I AM OPPRESSED!!!Because you were totally going to go otherwise, right Dan?

Fully grown men have to.
I wear a 12.5 EEEE .
New Balance is the only company that makes shoes that fit. All other companies discriminate against people of wide feet.
We need to stage a protest.
LOL! Stereotype! Yeah. My daughter, black, wears varied NB's faithfully.
She runs [[even some short marathons), hikes a bit and aerobically exercises. And knows the difference between style/street wear [[store-front Nike's) and shoes for her level of exercise!
You get one pair of feet, and back!

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is federal civil rights legislation that prohibits discrimination in numerous settings including: employment, education, voting, and public accommodations. See FindLaw's codessection for the entire Civil Rights Act of 1964. Specifically, Title II prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, or national origin in places of public accommodations and provides injunctive relief for such violations. See the entire Title II text below.
SEC. 201. [[a) All persons shall be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, and privileges, advantages, and accommodations of any place of public accommodation, as defined in this section, without discrimination or segregation on the ground of race, color, religion, or national origin.

Buy a ticket then find a lawyer and sue them for being in violation of the civil rights act of 1964,in front of an all white jury,that should be worth 50,60 mil.

This isn't much different than ladies' night promotions [[Ladies get in free every Thursday!) at your local bar. A quick search says Michigan has case law that allow those; other states don't allow.
Title II gets tricky, because section [[a) says any place of public accommodation, as described in section [[b):
[[b) Establishments affecting interstate commerce or supported in their activities by State action as places of public accommodation; lodgings; facilities principally engaged in selling food for consumption on the premises; gasoline stations; places of exhibition or entertainment; other covered establishments
[[3) any motion picture house, theater, concert hall, sports arena, stadium or other place of exhibition or entertainment
Is the empty lot at 866 Manistique St a place of entertainment? You would have to take it to federal court to find out.
It gets worse. Check this shit out.This isn't much different than ladies' night promotions [[Ladies get in free every Thursday!) at your local bar. A quick search says Michigan has case law that allow those; other states don't allow.

"A man has successfully sued BrewDog for sex discrimination after a bartender refused to sell him a drink because of his gender.
In March 2018, Dr Thomas Bower asked to buy the beer company’s Pink IPA, which was offered a discounted price of £4 for customers who identify as female.
However, the 27-year-old said that after a “back and forth” with the bartender, he felt “forced” to identify as female so that he could purchase the drink."
Well played sir.

Oh my mistake, I thought you were arguing for more racial pandering. I'm with you on the failing Affirmative Action policies.

It's become a global phenomena pushed by debunked 3rd wave Feminist pay gap misinformation.
