I tend to agree with the liberal side of arguments more often than the conservative side more often than not, but this time the libtards have made bigger asses of themselves than usual.
You know, the kind of stuff where people like HBB try to be anti-racist and end up being the most racist person in the room?

Shokazoba's cancellation from the Hampshire Halloween event Friday night at Hampshire College, after one band member said they were criticized of being "too white" to play Afrobeat music

Quote:
The decision to cancel the band was made by the Hype Committee, which puts on Hampshire Halloween.
The Hype Committee wrote on its Facebook page on Oct. 24: "Due to concerned students voicing their opinions about the band Shokazoba, we held community dialogue to hear what individuals had to say. As a result of the dialogue, and discomfort expressed by members of the community in person as well as by email, Facebook, and other means, we have removed Shokazoba from the lineup for Hampshire Halloween."

Elaine Thomas, Hampshire College spokeswoman, said in a statement that the student organizers of Hampshire Halloween contracted with a number of bands, and that some students "questioned the selection of one band, asking whether it was a predominantly white Afrobeat band, and expressing their concerns about cultural appropriation and the need to respect marginalized cultures."

Let's respect marginalized cultures by... marginalizing them...

FYI the leader of the band is in fact African American.
Secondly and more hilarious which isn't written in this article, the band has already confirmed that they got a spot to appear on the Colbert Report. He's going to tear that College in half.
