i won a turkey shoot at a festival one time...
Then there’s MLK Blvd in Eugene, OR. Top flight medical facilities at both ends of a two (?) mile long street with Autzen Stadium (U of O football) in the middle.
Appropriately enough, the county juvenile “jail” is across the street from the stadium.
upper-end housing at the eastern end, as well.
The brown sugar festival? That is cultural appropriation of a bunch of skinny white British dudes. No wonder someone got shot.
I avoid any events and or gatherings regarding blacks...and never regard their calender celebrations.
Just a normal day in the life, under Joe Biden
Considering the venue = that’s all?
Yeah? How many turkeys did you shoot? How many of them had wings?
What Brown Sugar Festival is complete without some gunpowder spice.
Hard to really care anymore.
I guess LeBron would just say that they was just “playin”.
The community has no expectations for the people living in it, why should I or anyone else care?
Rhetorical questions of course.
Not enough security ?
I’m stunned it not national news. Not!!!! Every shooting involving a white guy is shown in a loop for days. Of course, colorado and now this are ignored.
Every cop who responded was racist, of course!
Dindu nuffin!
Completely ignored by Miami media this week.
Same Miami media that will carry “news” about any alleged “racist” deed in any state in the union.
Speaking of black heritage We rent the movie Roots once or twice a year and play it backwards so it has a happy ending
Well, I guess that’s just how young people roll in those neighborhoods.
It don’t take much. And it is always changing.
Should one enjoy celebrating birthdays, it is best if one avoids gatherings such as this.
You wanted the AUTHENTIC Black experience?...you got it.
That would be a temptation. I love seafood.
