The Arvada Center’s Minstrel Show – Racist Admission Policies

Apparently, arts and culture in at the Arvada Center are a whites-preferred kind of thing.

While the Arvada Center happily recruits blacks to sing and dance for their overwhelmingly white audiences, they have instituted discriminatory audience policies that disproportionally target and exclude African American audience members.

As evidenced by research, blacks are significantly more vaccine-hesitant than whites due to real and perceived health injustices perpetrated by the government and the American medical establishment. This historical hesitancy, combined with the fact that vaccine side effects disproportionally affect blacks, creates a disparity in vaccination rates and make the vaccine/testing requirements of public institutions discriminatory against blacks – a fact that has led to Black Lives Matter leaders rightly identifying vaccine passports as a device of racism harkening back to the Jim Crow era.

According to the Arvada Center’s website, they have an “anti-racism” initiative that involves “a commitment to building an inclusive culture that reflects our diverse community and our core values as an organization.” The Center proudly claims to stand with Black Lives Matter, yet they have instituted an admission policy that demonstrates a complete lack of respect or caring for the concerns of black Americans who have made understandably different private medical decisions.

The Arvada Center claims their “mitigation” policies are for safety, apparently forgetting that vaccines are six times more dangerous than COVID-19 itself for young men, and create side effects that disproportionally impact BIPOC communities. Apparently, the Arvada Center is primarily concerned with keeping vaccine and treatment-hesitant black folks safely far away from their vaccinated white patrons, and Arvada and Colorado taxpayers who pay the majority of the bills at the Center are being implicated in their racism.

Much like the minstrel shows of the late 19th century where both blacks and blackfaced whites performed for white audiences, the vaccine/testing policies of the Arvada Center are disproportionally targeted against black audience members, who are not welcome to attend if they fail to make the same personal medical decisions as the whites in charge of the Center. The “cultured” among us have instituted a policy that undeniably targets blacks in order to placate fearful white people.

The Arvada Center is clearly perfectly fine with racial discrimination against African Americans, instituting a policy that will keep blacks away from the “culture” they claim to offer to everyone equally.
