State Fair Board has worked to increase diversity at the annual fair, expanding its entertainment lineup and attempting to appeal to a younger, more multicultural audience. Diversity was a priority for former State Fair Park Chairman Martin Greenberg, who spoke of making it a "place of inclusion, not exclusion."

How's that working out for ya'?

Fairs should have Country and Western, Bluegrass and Folk music to discourage this sort of patron. It is a FAIR after all.

Any comment from Martin Greenberg and his diversity? From Eric “My People” Holder? From Obama who certainly spoke out on Michael Vick being a great guy and on a black prof whom the police dared to arrest?

If states were intelligent and less politically correct, they would have state fair venues as far away from black population centers as possible.

“Fairs should have Country and Western, Bluegrass and Folk music to discourage this sort of patron. It is a FAIR after all.”

Good idea. Many fairs already do that.

Best solution (for the “Midway”):
Put up speakers and play a steady stream of classical music (yes, classical). “Yutes” will not congregate where this kind of music is played.

It’s actually how at least one municipality responded to groups of yutes hanging around bus stops, etc. Once the speakers were put up and classical piped in, the yutes quickly moved off to somewhere else....

Just sayin’...
