“We are sorry that one of our volunteers interrupted your art, your show, and your audience by being aggressive and racist,” reads a Facebook post signed by vice-chairman Georgie Dudka.
The Halifax festival says the incident involved a white volunteer photographer and several white audience members who reacted negatively when Pimienta invited “brown girls to the front” during her Oct. 19 show.
O’Manique says the problems started when the volunteer female photographer refused to step away from her spot near the front. It led to a clash with nearby audience members who became angered over her insistence on remaining near the stage to take photos, says O’Manique, who performs as dream-pop act Trails and shares management with Pimienta.
it's beginning to look a lot like an agendapost
And this is one
"I am never surprised at white fragility," she (the racist artist) said. "I was annoyed at most but mainly worried about the POC femmes at the front whose safety was jeopardized due to this person's violent actions.
"This old Shitfisher took his bagpipes down to the river and he played his pipes in hopes that the shitfish would rise up out of the water. But not one shitfish rose, Julian. So he took a shitnet and threw it in the river and, lo, soon he drew it forth filled with shitfish. Then he took his bagpipes and then he played them again and all the shitfish jumped up in the shitnet. "Oh, you dance now when I play, said the Shitfisher.' And then the little old shitfish spoke up in the end and he said, when your in a man's power, you must do as he bids you. Shitnets, Julian, and Shitpower."

Nah, slavery is bad. The real problem today is allowing children on social media.

"white fragility' as she claims people getting pissy with her is violence.

I can hardly tell what side of the agendapost fence you're on nowadays.
I'm proud of you.

Lmao, white fragility is counterintuitively enough when white people have a spine and doesn't just take whatever PoCs throw at them.
1 ZenBeetle 2017-10-28
What? Safety was jeopardised by a white person refusing to move?
What was that about "fragility"?

Idk, when pennywise asked us to do a circle pit at riot fest this year, we fucking did it
1 WalterMatthau 2017-10-28
No doubt. Whenever an artist calls for a circle pit, you do it. Thus is rock law.

Halifax is a city that is more than 90% white

a white photographer was asked to move further back because she was white, was then called racist when she didn't want to ruin her photos
what the hell

If George Wallace had called blacks-only bathrooms and lunch counters "safe spaces," he'd be remembered as a hero of the civil rights movement.
