Whitewashing Black College Beach Week
American Thinker.com ^ | May 1, 2019 | Colin Flaherty

After 30 years of relentless black mob violence at the annual black college beach weekend in Virginia Beach, pop star Pharrell finally figured out how to “change the vibe.” He gentrified it, staging a three-day festival with white performers and white concertgoers paying $280 for a three-day pass.

The result: instead of 30,000 to 100,000 black people invading Virginia Beach at the end of every April to create epic levels of violence, theft, mayhem, chaos, attacks on police, killing a police horse, looting, defiance, lots and lots of dope, shootings, dine and dashes -- all celebrated in a song by Public Enemy -- Pharrell’s festival attracted an older, whiter, more docile crowd.

Nothing happened. Other than music celebrating guns, drugs, money, bitches, murder and cop killing, that is. But that was confined to the stage. More on that in a minute.

Not that anyone is forgetting the last 30 years. In 1989, the Virginia Beach party animals called it Greek Week -- one of dozens of such gatherings of black college fraternities and sororities up and down the East Coast over a several-year period. All leaving crime, trash, destruction, and excuses in their wake as they were run out of one town after another.

Today, local reporters are eager to minimize the violence from that time or attribute it to white racist police.

But back then, no one in Virginia Beach questioned whether 50,000 to 100,000 black people were creating incredible levels of mayhem by destroying 100 shops, fighting cops, and breaking the law.

They killed a horse. They threw a cinder block at its head.

All while blasting out the two big hits of that summer: “F*ck the Police” and “Fight the Power,” from the Spike Lee movie, Do The Right Thing.

There was a similar black spring break event here in Atlanta for a number of years, Freaknik. And it became way too much massive uncontrolled lawlessness for even the black City of Atlanta administration to overlook, and it was finally suppressed and shut down.

There’s always Black Bike Week in Myrtle or other beach locations.

I lived in Virginia at that time and remember that 1989 Greek Week. Locals referred to it as “Hurricane Leroy.”

These type of people are the reason that decent Blacks move out of the ‘hood and into neighborhoods like ours.

I don't like those kind of cartoons either. There are lots of decent, law-abding black Americans.

But it also is true that there is a significant black subculture that has repeatedly destroyed previously (comparatively) peaceful social gatherings/festivals in different locations all around the country.

The Flats entertainment district in Cleveland was essentially destroyed by the same thing in the early 90's in Cleveland.

It is a common, national problem. Large mobs of ypung black people cause mayhem. It is so obviously a serious issue. The problem is black society allows it, encourages it, and supports it. Remonded me of the parades in NYC which also have crime problems.

> There are lots of decent, law-abiding black Americans. <

I spent more than two decades teaching in urban high schools. Some of those schools were almost all black. Mini-riots occurred there a couple of times a week.

And 85% of those black kids were good, decent kids! They tried, and were a pleasure to teach. But that other 15%, they ruined it for everybody. I’m guessing the same thing could be said of predominately black neighborhoods.

Side note: I’ve run into a few truly psycho students in my career. Not just bad kids. Evil kids. And those kids were almost always white. Weird, huh?

Can anyone name a nice middle class mixed race neighborhood that lasted more than a few years?

This event has long been marred by violence and crime.

Which is tragic. For how long did people in the civil rights movement fight to give blacks equal access to education? This was certainly not the result they were aiming for.

It’s “Productive Flight” not “White Flight”.
