“I don’t leave my home that weekend,” said Yolanda Cox, 62 . . .“The people, they drink, they get high, things escalate,”

RACISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh wait, she's a black immigrant from Panama. Never mind.

“I stay inside. Back in the day it was better. It was safer.

It was never better or safer. It's an annual street shooting festival.

How can people get shot in New York City? They have strict gun control laws there.

I really don’t understand parades for other nations. Maybe our militarily allied nations for thanks. I am half Hungarian and half Brit. I like things about each nation, but hey, couldn’t have been all that great if my ancestors booked.

Isn’t it very telling that tourists flock to Little Italies, Chinatowns, Japantowns, little Saigons, French Quarters, Dutchtowns (Solvang) etc. but are there any black neighborhoods that attract tourists??

Why is that?

Sad but then I don’t go to Olathe for Old Settlers’ Days. No place to park and really junkie food.

Just another parade to stay as far as you can away from. This one usually tops the Puerto Rican Day Parade in that regard.
