Indiana Black Expo, what are you doing to get ready?

[sj kahr k40]

Make it 12am. I can be dressed by then if we can get some serious members organized.

I'll get there as soon as I can after 12, if I'm not there by 12:15 just wait.

What is the date for Indiana White Expo?
Or should I talk to the ALCU about this
I think it's clearly a Racist issue

Funny I just got back from Canada and have been there many times and have never met any "African Canadians"

Just showed some film of people running, screaming and laughing as the shots were being fired. Also showed about 3 girls fighting in the street with a crowd around them cheering and laughing. Soooo.... what other events does this happen at again?

Sadly I'm giving up a chance to buy tickets from a guy at work. I've got too much other stuff that's more important than going to watch that.

Because its a really great place to go hang out, eat great food and relax when you want something more than INGO in the evening.

Oh yeah, great fun. 2nd time I was told "You're kind don't belong here" I never went back...and I was getting PAID to be there.

 

[vitamink]

We're up to 10 people shot, and shots fired runs from 930-1030 were coming out every 10 minutes.... awesome.

 

[Roadie]

I was just debating the merits of the IBE on Indystar.com with someone a couple days ago who claimed there "has never been any violence at an IBE event"

I vaguely remember reading indymonkeys post but i dont remember exactly what it was in reference to can you please elaborate. My brain isnt working properly to find it

 

[vitamink]

That's because IBE says they aren't affiliated with all the people outside... so they are correct, at the job fair inside convention center nobody gets shot...of course nobody attends the job fair anyways so it's kind of a moot point. Out on the street though it's another story. If you get the opportunity tomorrow, ask any cop that worked the expo (which by the way is the only day that every cop in the city is working even though the event is smaller than most) how it went then prepare for a 4 hour conversation about hell on earth.

I was just debating the merits of the IBE on Indystar.com with someone a couple days ago who claimed there "has never been any violence at an IBE event.....During daylight hours when events are open and going on."

Fixed...lol

 

[Roadie]

Fixed...lol

Well, OK, none at the actual events that made the news...

Some idiot from the Indystar included this in the article, like it even matters.

None of the shootings occurred at venues hosting Black Expo activities.

Im sure all the shootings were done by white folks, right?

Has the Klan decided to have a counter exposition in downtown Indy?

Um, Canada is flooding itself at a rapid pace with folks from Somolia, and many other African Nations, including Haiti.

Im curious how you did not see one. Perhaps you were in a rural setting, Toronto is pretty darn bad with gang violence.

I think the really sad part is, many thing that the problems facing the Black community in America, is unique to America - NOPE. They exist in Canada, France, Britain, Scandinavia and western Europe.

Same entitlement politic's, same high rate of violence. The stories I've had family members tell me in Sweden, sound like crap that you'd think would occur only in California in some ghetto.

I think he was making reference to blacks in this country calling themselves "African Americans". Even some families that have lived here for 100yrs go by African American instead of American. There are no African Canadians, just Candians. Or at least I think that's what he meant.

As a side note I just went to Marsh is Broad Ripple, well around 1:30 and BR was packed! More traffic and cops than I've seen up here in a long time. More Hoopty's and crotch rockets too. Went by Steak n Shake on Keystone for a milk shake but it looked like IBE North, not an open seat. Came home and had a couple Sunny D and Absolutes instead.

Anytime downtown is fun and realtively safe if you pay attention to whats going on around you. (other than BE weekend) The city does a great job keeping the BS to a minimum other than the beggars. The servers at the resturants would be glad to see you, They dont care for BE weekend either.

If you watch the video where people/kids are over flowing the side walks and blocking traffic. Gas stations are full with older adults Bsing and showing off there 62 pos car with the 30" wheels. Traffic sucks because they dont obey the lights or laws.Thats was the general scene down there.

Of course this may of just been my observations on a bad night at 1am.

I was on a motorcycle, and didnt feel threaten or unwanted.

Plus I got to watch some porn...well a lot of porn being played in the TV of cars.
