>The Halifax Pop Explosion music festival is apologizing for the actions of a volunteer who interrupted a performance by Polaris Prize-winning singer Lido Pimienta with “overt racism.”
>“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.
>The outspoken singer, who took home the Polaris Prize for her album “La Papessa” last month, frequently asks her audience to welcome people of colour to the front of the stage. In turn, she requests that white people move back.
>being and white and actually going to see some spic in concert I bet these were hardcore, naive white liberals. We can only hope that they got a rude awakening that day and are starting to think about race more.

>paying money to be abused by some spic whore who hates you.

Check out that white privilege, you can't even sit in your own seat if you are white.

Carson Jones
Let it continue. Whites are already well woken up to the fact that this SJW horseshit is literally meant to displace them. I ain't even mad.
Jace James
It's unfathomable that a white person would comply to such a request. My blood boils at the insolence.
Connor Bailey
Honestly I agree that she probably should have moved though, if the artist wanted her to do so. Not for muh racism/sexism, but because the singer wanted it. Considering she was a volunteer offering her time to promote the artist and the event, it's bullshit though. Fucking virtue signaling nonsense. If the brownies weren't running on CPT, they could have been at the front.
Zachary Bell
GOING TO SEE THIS CLOWN WHORE Being forced to sit behind negros and shitskins
canada is fucked
Leo Ramirez
I'm going to assume one of those privileged whites will soon be joining our ranks.
Alexander Mitchell
The singer wanted it because she's a racist and sexist >hey would all the non-whites move to the back >it's not about race guys I just like whites better
Daniel Gonzalez
This, honestly. Experiencing anti-white sentiment directly is hard for all but the most brainwashed cucks to swallow.
Thank the spic taquito mud creature for new converts to our cause!

why do we even let non-whites into our countries?

Serious question: Are there any good people left in Canada? Was there any good to begin with?
Evan Nguyen
A few

>Pimienta's says she wasn't surprised, as she has encountered similar incidents in the past.
>"I am never surprised at white fragility," she 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."
>The Halifax Pop Explosion's board of directors have since banned that volunteer from ever being able to work future shows, but according to Pimienta, that's not enough.
>"They should take it up a notch and make her name public and have her apologize to me and my audience," said the Polaris Prize-winning singer. "They need some real work and obviously mental health support. Racism is an illness that is dangerous and gets physical and we saw what it did at my show."
>white fragility >safety was jeopardized due to this person's violent actions >white fragility >safety was jeopardized due to this person's violent actions
HOW THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT TAKEN SERIOUSLY
Lucas Stewart
Yes, I noticed that. But hey at least one thing they did right (my little pony:fim). I love the show. the leafs needs more MLP and less lgbt-jew crap.
This non-white leaf, probably a trap poster
Parker Hughes
The only thing good about Halifax is the Tall Ships festival. Other than that it's nothing more than a dirty fucking habor town more so than it is a city.
I know it was a fucking tragedy the first time, but that place needs another god damn "Halifax Explosion". Round 2 - Nuclear Fire.
John Carter
Yeah that's what happened to me
Matthew Scott
Outside of Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver the Canadians are absolute bro tier.
t. Michigander
Juan Parker
Poor Maritimers. The Eastern maritime part of Canada is 95% white and directly descended from Irish and Scots who pioneered and settled there. They are the absolute friendliest and most fun-loving people you will ever meet. Too bad they are getting infected with this nauxious SJW anti-white shit.
Ayden Peterson
This lad knows whats up. You come to Northern BC next time you're around. We'll pan you some gold and shoot a fucking bear. Fuck Yogi.
Daniel Russell
>employing the singer to put on a concert >having to do what she says um, that's not how it works, sweetie.
Ethan Bell
Well, I guess I'm not welcome at the Halifax Music fest. Interesting business model.
Aaron Russell
Michiganders are bro tier as well.
t. University of Michigan grad
Ryan Green
>Told to give up seat because of your race >Refuse >Now in lots of trouble for it
So is this like Rosa Parks of white people?
Juan Jackson
Holy shit. I mean think about the irony here. That volunteer got fucking Rosa Parked.
This is how far the pendulum has swung, to the point where whites are expected to give up their spots. Fucking crazy timeline.
Jason Johnson
whoa, a little too close to home.
Bentley Roberts
I know you're mostly kidding, but our eastern cities, specifically Halifax have more culture than most places in Canada. It is one of the oldest cities in North America, and most of our historic downtown buildings are really great.
Our student population brings in the SJWs, but they're only here for a few years before moving back to whatever shithole they came from. Subtract them, and we're not really more liberal than the rest of Canada, although we vote that way because we are a have not province.
Jose Morris
What kind of normal person goes and sees this thing sing?
Jayden Perry
Its like a logic bomb for anyone that is still remotely awake.
Yfw microphones, daw software, speakers, electric guitars etc were all created by mighty whitey.
Juan Perez
It's a good place for foreigners to come and feed dumb white people. Go to places like John's Lunch. Bunch of Greeks who smile at your face and pretend they love you. Feed you shit food (fish and chips). Knowing they are killing you. meanwhile they eat good food, take your money home and build up their communities. White people up here make me sick.
Hunter Ortiz
If that person is named they should absolutely double down and call out this singer and these people for how stupid and sick they are.
Easton Lee
After apple season. Having too much fun at home right now. Thanks but Ann Arbor needs to burn to the fucking ground. People there are well on their way to turn it into San Francisco at the rate they are going up their own asses.
Camden Davis
I wonder if these people understand the concept of irony.
Owen Martin
We have our own Rosa Parks in Nova Scotia too. Viola Desmond who refused to leave the white section of a movie theater. They actually named a ferry after her recently.
I don't think the owners of John's Lunch are Greek, unless they were bought of recently. Where are you getting this from? I'm only mildly defensive, I do like their food.
Julian Jenkins
>this is officially (Polaris music prize) the best music in Cucknada youtube.com/watch?v=MtfWH2KJqFM It makes the Tragically Bland sound good

You can change it to a Chinese restaurant. Same scenario. Feed you death, pick your pocket, build up their way of life while watching you die.
Samuel Martin
Burn it all to the ground.
Noah Campbell
but the singer was being racist
Luis Stewart
You islandniggers are such insufferable fucking racists. It's like, I just so can't even deal!
This world needs a serious culling.
Logan Cox
wrong, moving would have been in support of a racist act user
by not moving you're actually doing the Right thing
the fact that only ONE person realized this is symptoms of how dangerous cults and group think is
Nolan Hall
Yeah, I was going to point out that I would be more offended at the rise of ethic food in the area. At least John's serves something culturally appropriate. How many shitty overpriced Chinese places do we need?
You're right though, one of the former owners is Greek. I imagine they invented 'John' to win over the locals. Just so you know, Pleasant St Diner is owned by two Greek sons of the man who used to co-own Johns.
Anthony Green
More of this shit needs to happen.
It's a stronger redpill than any inforgraphic could ever hope to be.
Anthony Butler
>demand one race go forward and another back NOT RACIST >refuse to be ordered around on a basis of race LITERALLY HITLER
It's a brave new world.
Gavin James
Fucking hell, this is atrocious. Imagine how drugged out and deranged you'd have to be to unironically listen to this shit.
Nicholas Sanchez
Shouldn't the so called artist be the one apologizing? She's the one who called for discrimination.
Adrian Jones
Fucking Colombian nigger cunt should be grateful she is even in this country
Cooper Moore
New Brunswicker here. You work with people on construction crews, etc. and you get a feel for what the average person is like. If she tried that shit on the streets she'd get a whoopin'. Why is a fucking spic lecturing us about sexism? What country is she from where she thinks she'd get a better deal than here?
She is from Columbia come to Ontario all the shitskins are entitled as fuck thankfully I’m in a rural area that is mostly still white but the cities are fucking orc pits

It's essentially all university students from Toronto. They come here because it's a smaller town and le drinking culture but they bring their brainwashed BS along.
Michael Hughes
> safety was jeopardized due to this person's violent actions >violent actions > They need some real work and obviously mental health support. > Racism is an illness
How many layers of SJW do you need to be on to make a refusal to move by virtue of having the wrong skin into racism? Into mental illness? Into violence?
How fucking broken does government need to be to entertain this seriously?
Mason Watson
Is Canada worse than Sweden now?
Samuel Long
this
Blake Gray
best bit is her saying racism is a mental illness, just after demanding that the woman is made to be publicly named and shamed. As we all know the best way to treat the mentally ill is to mock and belittle them for it.
Josiah Ward
>tfw minorities thought egalitarianism meant white people would lay down in the mud and die for their sake
My greatest worry is that they wont be able to be anything put permanent victims with hands held out expectantly. The difference between multiculturalism working or falling apart.
Hudson Sullivan
Also, imagine if he complied >Be a photographer for the event >Asked to go in the back >"OMG, you didn't take any good photos of the performers, wtf! You're terrible, don't go at the back to take pictures dummie."

Carter Ward
We should raid this cunt hard
Anthony Barnes
This man is telling the truth: I live in a suburb of e TO and you'd be shocked of the increasing amount of aggressiveness displayed towards white people.
Years of medias demonization white people have finally came to fruition.
So, now what? Pack-up and move north?
Easton Parker
Tell us some stories of what you've seen user
Isaiah Myers
desu I prefer sitting at the back of the bus, it's got the comfiest seats and the least crowding, which has just proven to me that the entire whatsherface bus thing was just a propaganda-op
Levi Robinson
judging by the u in color im guessing this is in Europe that place is so politicly correct is this really shocking
Evan Anderson
We've come a long way
>PET:Yes, well there are a lot of bleeding hearts around who just don't like to see people with helmets and guns. All I can say is, go on and bleed, but it is more important to keep law and order in this society than to be worried about weak-kneed people who don't like the looks of a soldier's helmet.
>Ralfe:At any cost? How far would you go with that? How far would you extend that?
>PET:Well,just watch me.
Nathaniel Long
This is good. This will keep happening. Remember, most of us just wanted to play video games. There are liberals who like going to shows and will be completely turned off. Yes, some will get more hardcore but most will be offended by this retarded garbage.
William Baker

the person was there to photograph the show. moving would have meant she would not longer be able to take photos i.e. do her job.
