Couple of questions.
You routinely give money,
(for free), to anybody that asks?
You had no inklings that the group you funded would suddenly turn on you ?
After that group turned on you, you did not hand them a 'paper' that said,
'here is your pay back schedule' ?
"... I thought it was funny, hypocritical, but funny. ..."
No, it was not, 'funny', it was CLEARLY Raciest !If the group was white, and excluded a black person, all hell would break loose, and people on the Moon would know about it.
When a white person says
'Aaaa it's OK', to RACIEST behavior from a black person/s to a white person.
While screaming to the clouds about RACIEST behavior from a white person/s to black person/s.
It Actually ENFORCES RACISM.
Is not the goal to eliminate it ?
"... (by the people running just the opening that night) ..."When that, 'group', said
(in essence) 'you could not attend because of the color of your skin', you saying it is 'funny', IS enforcing Raciest behavior.
If the rest of the people said,
(to the like),
'oh it was only that little group',.
Then let the rest of the people, 'scold' the opening night few, and TEACH them, their behavior is not acceptable, because their selfishness negated the 'free' money to make the space.
Oh Yea, Never Mind.
It was Funny !
