DELRAY BEACH -- Amid the sound of blaring car stereos, more than 350 black people packed the sidewalks of West Atlantic Avenue Sunday night to demand the city create more entertainment and allow them to gather there on a regular basis.

"We came here because there's nothing social for us to do," said Crystal Carter, 32, who stood with her son, Crystopher, 11. "We're all enjoying this. We even brought our kids out."
The avenue started filling up in front of the gas stations between Eighth and 10th avenues about 7:30 p.m. after a coordinated football game and a cookout ended several blocks away at Pompey Park.
The event took on the atmosphere of a street party. Someone was selling food from a van. Cars clogged the roads, crowded a gas station and parked in front of homes in residential areas and lots with no-parking signs.
Eight police officers stood in the median and on the side streets, watching over the crowd and the traffic. Officers didn't plan to make arrests or issue citations concerning open drinking of alcohol and what appeared to be people smoking marijuana, said Lt. Marc Woods. Although officers were concerned about the illegal activities, they wanted to "allow the community to grieve" for Miller, Woods said.

Yeah Lord knows they need something to do.
I suppose we have to accept that blacks can avoid 'white' establishments because the 'dont feel comfortable', and instead gather in public areas, smoke pot and drink alcohol, demand government provided 'social' activities, and the cops will handle the matter with kid gloves rather than generally accepted (i.e., 'white') law enforcement, and there is not a damn thing that can be done about it except to acquiesce, lest the city be burned to the ground in riots.
PC and diversity uber alles.
Austin needs to work on what it has to offer African Americans
I was being sarcastic, Sho Nuff.
I agree with you. Lighten up.
And check out his $11 Million Plane.
Maybe the people of Delray beach can get him to build them some entertainment...
These people want entertainment and activities for their black race. Yet if the white race wanted entertainment and activities of their own what a howl you would hear.
O.K. I read the whole article and I still don't understand what these people expect the city to do for them. Build them a club with tax payer money with a no whites allowed on the front door? I don't know.
Well, it took until post 7 this time, but we have another "irrelevant Schaivo" reference winner...
I want a "Department Of Fun" established with taxpayer money. I want them to come to my house for an 'intake' appt, and evaluate the social and entertainment needs of my family.I want them to survey the 'fun' venues in my community-or lack of- and provide my family with a subsidy every month that is appropriate and will provide for and enhance our social and entertainment needs. sarcasm/ off
ps: Why didn't these bored people plant trees in honor of Algore's birthday? Isn't caring for and renewing the environment fun?
Post #7? Drat, that's because I type slow.
oops-guess I shouldn't be in charge of the "Dept. of Fun."
"Department Of Fun you say? That sounds like a good idea. We can put it right next to The Department of Peace..."
Blacks get away with this because they are black. Its sad to see so many blacks act like animals and for their community to condone such behavior. When blacks quit blaming others and start blaming themselves they will start to see improvements in the moral decay that has captured their community. Its a message for all races.
