I am not a racist person, as I have black friends. But of course anyone says that so whatever.
Here in Arkansas there is something called Juneteenth. It's a little festival thing they have on the river downtown.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juneteenth
Well I went last year with my buddy Jay. We are both white dudes, but we won free tickets, well he did and invited me. He is all into rap and hip hop, I am not. I only went to drink and party, in which I did.
Anyways, after reading it in Wiki last year I thought it might be interesting also and a learning experience.
I was wrong. It was nothing but a poor mans Riverfest.
http://www.riverfestarkansas.com/ (the largest outdoor festival in america)
There was nothing but rap and hip hop music, everyone fighting, and people picking fights with me cause I was white. Well I got in a few but that's another story.
Anyways if you read the Juneteenth thing on Wiki you see it's supposed to be about emancipation, and celebrating freedom and all that. This was nothing but a bunch of racists pricks fucking with each other, cussing at women and touching them, and so on. There was reported 6 rape cases from last years Juneteenth on the river, 2 murders, and over 200 arrests. The cops were crawling all over the place, and I watched several of them get beat up.
Needless to say all this was is a gathering of blacks to trash the city and help the crime rate climb.
I think the only reason I made it out alive was because our friend Will went with us, and we all split his admission 3 ways to make it fair. He is black, and I think hanging out with him saved a lot trouble for us.
Is it like that in your area/city? Why even have it? The state of Arkansas tried to eliminate the whole Juneteenth but failed, over racial issues of course.
Anyways all I know is if white people had their own festival, we would be racist and wrong for it. If Mexicans did, they would be racist for it. Anyways Juneteenth came and passed again this year, and it was worse. On the news it talked about several people dying, being shot, stabbed and all that shit. Anyone remember the HBO series in the 90s called Bangin' in the Rock? It was about how bad the gangs were in Little Rock, and how the crime rate per population was the worst in the country for several years. Well, that's all it was wrapped up in a weekend. Pathetic.
Had to vent.
