“The video continues, capturing Stone’s conversation with a second staffer. “You cannot come dressed like this, have your costume changes, and do what you’re doing in front of the people like this,” the male staffer said. “This character does not go with what this festival represents. This is the African Arts Festival. This is not the Ballerina Arts Festival. This is not the European Arts Festival. It is not the Caucasian Arts Festival.” Stone then agrees to leave when she is told she could speak to the festival owner and the video ends.”

Sorry but that’s funny as hell, and it’s probably exactly what I’d have said in that situation. Nice job to the staffer.

They missed a bet, here. They shouldn’t have thrown her out because she was white, even if that’s why they threw her out. Instead they should have thrown her out with the excuse that she was frightening children and small animals.

Using such excuses is well known to those who frequently have to deal with fruitcakes. You never officially throw them out because they are nut cases, you always use a semi-plausible excuse that the general public will buy.

“We had several complaints that she was emitting a foul body odor, and seemed to be experiencing a problem with flatulence.”

This is an African American event. You can’t be at this event. You’re not black.’

I guess Obama couldn’t attend either as he is half white.

The festival worker probably just used race as an excuse.

Absolutely right. She was being rude, annoying, arrogant and obnoxious.

The worker was showing a lot of restraint (I would have cheered if he smacked her) and was just trying to come up with different things to say to try to get the stupid worthless b*tch to sit down.

To paint this as racism is to really miss the point.
