The event was organized by the Trans Women of Color Solidarity Network and Queer the Land.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, an Afrofuturist group charged white people $20 and black people $10 to attend its Detroit festival.<\/p>\n<p>The group backed down from the policy after a performer backed out and ticketing website Eventbrite threatened to unpublish the event. Rapper Tiny Jag, who was scheduled to perform, brought attention to the festival\u2019s controversial policy.\u201cThis does not reflect the views of myself or the Tiny Jag team. I will not be playing this show. I apologize for anyone who may have been triggered or offended,\u201d the rapper said. Tiny Jag <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2019\/07\/07\/us\/afrofuture-fest-charging-wipe-people-trnd\/index.html\">told<\/a> CNN that she is biracial and that her grandmother is white.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t think we were near that thinking that something like that could be progressive,\u201d she said. \u201cWe have never seen hate work, I don\u2019t understand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
