I remember a documentary about a Black comedy club in Chicago, where the owner talked about the constant roadblocks of permits and licenses when he tried to relocate to a richer part of the city. He blamed it on racism, but I'm pretty sure he just needed to grease some palms

The venue booked them at first, so I wonder if, before the city/venue real-nice-place-ya-got-here conversation, venue was naive about AF & wanted rental $, or if they wanted to refuse but feared bad press/boycott & were waiting for the 'cover' of city arm-twisting.

Yeah idk wtf Arnheim thinks it's doing. Putting aside whether they actually threatened the venue into cancelling, they are asking for a content discrimination 1A lawsuit with this press release.
