Detroit-based rapper Tiny Jag pulled out of a Detroit, MI music festival this week after she learned that white concert-goers would be charged a higher price than people of color.

Jag, also known as Jillian Graham, told the Detroit Metro Times that she 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 told the 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."

The organizers of the event are upfront that they are charging different prices based on race, including sharing artwork on social media with a caption about early-bird tickets that reads, “Early Bird POC Tickets are $10 & $20 for NONPOC’s & on sale until JULY 17th.”

Quote

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. PERIODT!"

From the first result of a google search it appears to be a landlords responsibility (also good property management) BUT if it's determined to be due to the renters behavior (like leaving food all over the floor or whatever) they can apply penalties according to the lease, though this could vary by state. That does seem to make sense from just a logical perspective and thinking about stuff like smoke and water damage.

Also, I admit just from thinking about it spiders does seem like a tough one if there's no nest or anything. Maybe he should just sit by the kids all night watching their legs with a flash light.

Anyway, a long story about the insubstantial social safety net in the U.S. ending with a "Supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation" graphic is a little Victorian era capitalism but also rather particular to this benighted age.

Pretty much, the Sackler family is going to pay 6 figures a semester so their son or daughter can skate by with failing grades that magically become B's so she can meet the honors list and pretend they actually tried during high school.

there is a train station by Las Olas (a popular night life spot in downtown Ft. Lauderdale) where they play classical music really loudly on repeat to serve the same purpose. It's kind of spooky because it's completely empty late at night with a string quartet blaring some tense harmonies. Baby Shark is a whole new level of torture tho
