From the show:
"Be honest y'all and don't be scared. Why do y'all think they cancelled this? I mean, what would be the reason why they would abruptly cancel a celebration of the World Cup stuff in Atlanta at this park? Tell. Just don't be scared."
"The city shuts down a free festival celebrating the World Cup and the Father's Day celebration cuz don't nobody care about no daddies. Nobody care about no daddies they're shutting it down because they do not care about daddies, man. You know why, folks?"

You mean black culture fatigue.... you know to keep the left from calling it racist.
It’s not black people that are the issue...that is racist. It’s their culture that is the problem.

Maybe the locals have No Daddy fatigue.
Did it shut down the celebration of that fake Juneteenth crap also?
Some people just can’t control themselves. Thats why it was shut down.
It was a three day event, starting on Friday June 19th. It was shut down hours before, according to this video.
“Some people just can’t control themselves. Thats why it was shut down.”
That and according to the video the people planning this did not pay for security.
For those of you why really hate these videos...here is the story it came from
City shuts down free festival celebrating World Cup and Father’s Day, citing safety concerns
ATLANTA — The organizer of a free festival designed for inner-city families to experience the excitement of the World Cup says her permit was abruptly revoked, with police showing up to turn vendors and attendees away.
Tomeka Holyfield said she spent eight weeks organizing and marketing World Legacy Fest at Rodney Cook Park in Atlanta’s Vine City community. She said the city approved a permit for the festival on June 16 and that she applied for it through Showcase Atlanta, an initiative that supports large-scale events.
“All of a sudden, Showcase Atlanta and the mayor’s office wanted this permit back,” Holyfield said. “You guys have to be the judge of why.”
She said the permit was cancelled around 8 p.m. Friday, hours before the festival was to begin Saturday morning. Holyfield aimed to connect families in Vine City neighborhoods with World Cup festivities. She planned a soccer clinic, in partnership with Google, and invited retired professional football and basketball players to attend. She also had a “Fathers on the Field” celebration planned for Father’s Day.
Holyfield said she was permitted to use the park from June 10 to July 15 as the city plays host to World Cup matches, with the three-day inaugural event scheduled for June 20-22. But on Saturday morning, vendors were packing up tents and equipment as Atlanta police looked on.
“They made all these businesses shut down; the kids had to get off the swings, the mothers had to leave the grass, the small business owners had to break down the tents that we paid for,” Holyfield said.
If you don’t live in Atlanta you can’t even imagine! Its so bad! Cancelling was the only sane thing to do.
I think they care even less about World Cup
Do they look like soccer players to you? They don’t to me. They most likely don’t even know what the World Cup is.
Ya. Hence my comment: I think they care even less about World Cup
If you don’t live in Atlanta you can’t even imagine! Its so bad! Cancelling was the only sane thing to do.

Had a nephew lived there, near downtown. He has some stories....
He got out. He’s in a little town of about 800 in ‘Bama. Good kid.
Methinks the local powers got some intel and stopped a gang assault. They probably not going to tell us because “racist”.
Exactly.
Sad but true.
Michael Smith, the Deputy Chief Communications Officer for Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, told Channel 2’s Bryan Mims that Holyfield never paid the festival application fees and never presented an “acceptable and valid security plan.”
He said she needed to hire off-duty Atlanta police officers or a private security company.
“The negligence and disregard for the surrounding communities’ public safety is astonishing, and the organizer should be ashamed of themselves for risking the health, safety and well-being of neighborhoods in the area,” he said in a written statement.
