The organizer of Afrofest, one of the largest celebrations of African music and culture in North America, is blaming the city for the cancellation of this summer’s festival, which has been running annually for nearly 40 years.
“There’s a lot of anger in me,” said Peter Toh, executive and artistic director of Afrofest. “What happened is by design. We have never been accepted in the Beaches, only tolerated.”
It’s implied racism was the cause of course. Africans built the Beaches after all.
If this keeps up Toronto will soon be facing a shortage of mass shooting venues.
