Unfortunately, this is nothing more than a racist celebration here in Phoenix. You won't find many, if any, whites at the downtown celebration. When they try to celebrate with the "brothers", they are targeted and the violence starts. What is supposed to be a day of unity is used by the black community here, to divide. There was a lot of violence the last couple years, although not widely reported and it's almost always because the blacks don't want any whites celebrating "their day".
The sad part of it is, although they celebrate MLK, virtually none of them rise to the level he challenged them to. No, instead it is used as an excuse to keep the very thing alive that MLK was trying to abolish.
Quoting: ruxpin I've seen the same thing in Chicago on St. Patricks day. Was even with a crowd where some of the guys of Irish descent were beating people up downtown for partying on "their" day. They especially targeted blacks too, because they obviously weren't Irish. It is sad. You're right. Phoenix being such a white town. I'm stuck in the NW area of Phoenix and only see a black person less than once a week. If that. That's why L.A. is so much cooler. I had friends from all walks and we all got along great. Too bad we can't learn to live with each other and respect, admire and learn from each others' cultures. Life is so boring here with only one culture. One type of architecture, one type of music, one type of food. I hope it changes.
