I’ve been to Farm Expos, Food Expos, Science Expos, and Car Expos.

Never been to a Black Expo. What exactly is the purpose?

Pastor at church does missionary work in China and said a large group from China are due in Indianapolis this morning as part of a civil rights group.....

Looks like someone sent out the welcoming committee.

Most reverends will occasionally talk about their faith.

All jesse does is incite racism and commit adultery.

I used to drive the Trailways coach to Indy. The bus station
and the hotel I stayed at were ground zero during the Black
Expo. I never felt a bit of hostility toward me. The first
time I was going to my room and was with a large group of
black women on the elevator. I asked them what was going on and they said “Black Expo”. I said “no wonder I didn’t get
and invitation”. They thought that was hilarious. As far as
the shootings, that’s probably about normal for that part of
Indy.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Police say eight people were wounded in a burst of gunfire in downtown Indianapolis during the Indiana Black Expo and two more in separate shootings that followed.....

How do we know this isn't a typical day in Indy.

Indy’s well on the way to becoming the next detroit. This is a racial issue, even if that’s not a PC thing to say. These things NEVER happen at the Indy 500, boat sport and travel show, Nascar races here, etc. Indianapolis loves to elect race baiting scum like andre carson, etc. Now we can never get rid of black expo.

Black Expo! This year’s Summer Celebration events have included a church service, Multiple shootings, film festival,Explosions, business seminars, drug charges, career workshops,confiscation of assault rifle, concerts, circus performances and terror in the streets.

I don’t recommend any decent people being downtown during this racist festival. You WILL be harassed, you WILL be harangued and it’s nowhere to bring your family. Sick, sad and disgusting. I’d even wait a couple days until the “expo” is over, so they can clean up the endless tons of trash left behind by our delightful revelers.
