You raise a valid point. Any public event where large numbers of African Americans gather is NOT SAFE.

I went to a “Caribbean” festival last year, and was appalled that the police did not arrest black people who were actively harassing white people. You know, stuff like walking on white people’s picnic blankets and kicking their food and drinks and daring the white people doo do anything about it. The police, standing RIGHT THERE, did nothing.

They suck, and I have no respect for them any longer. Black officers sided with black criminals against innocent white families and it was repulsive.

Of course, once you read Derbyshire’s “Rules, nonblack version” it becomes clear what to do to keep your family safe.
