This is not reverse racism (there is no such thing, like saying I'm reverse black), this is just racism. Just because it is direct at caucasians does not make right. Halifax POP to apologize sends the wrong message. "What if" this was say.. "Coldplay" asking only white men to the front, stopping the show until women or people of colour move to the back. I would be mortified. I understand Lido's intention. I also understand a white supremacist intention. They both feel that they are there to defend their people and they are the only ones with the power and right to do so... BUT this the root of racism...it is how segregation and exclusion happens. I believe in equality and rights for everyone, everywhere. Lido may want to rethink her actions. A simple action would be to only perform at festivals that show they are equal employers. OR maybe go the other way... have segregated tickets and seating based on colour. Maybe Halifax POP will jump on board with black and white "only" shows.
