So what is YOUR issue with blacks or gays as you apparently have one.

I don't have one. I'm having a hard time understanding why you automatically assume that since there is going to be a large gathering of blacks and gays in one spot that they will use that opportunity to riot and loot.
It's coming off as ignorant and slightly racist. You afraid of black folk?

i don't think i've ever heard of gays of any color rioting. if any trouble starts it would probably be agent provocateurs or something along that line.

Now the two I see causing the most concern are Black Pride and Biden's visit. These two things have me a slight bit worried about the weekend. I am hoping everyone keeps a calm head this weekend and locals remain level headed from the influx of insane traffic with out of state drivers.
Why are you most concerned with Black Pride and Biden?
Hmmmm.....lets think about this for a second.
Have you read in the news about all the things that have been happening around the country with riots and protests with black people? Have you read and heard all the things going on around the country with LGBT rights? This is a natural choice for an incident to occur.
And Biden is kind of a given when you have 6-800K people coming in town that are not from here....he is the Vice President....any high ranking official would be stupid not to be wary of everything going on in Atlanta and the numbers of people coming in town that are not native to the area....

Wouldn't surprise me in the least if the goverment false-flagged Biden. He's dead-weight, dumb as a stick and seriously creepy, you know, that touching little girls and smelling their hair kinda creepy. The guy is a liability and I can see the government's handlers using a violent situation to gain some shock, awe and sympathy, especially due to the ongoing Hillary saga. They gotta keep the dumb-f's entertained and off-balance, right?

.but I guess you'd rather just focus on the gay blacks...

And that was my point all along....this weekend in Atlanta is going to present an opportunity for plenty of things to happen should someone want them to. Not being able to see this is odd to me.

I find the entire premise ignorant and insulting.
Your trying to tell me that since there are many events in the city going on at once, including sporting events, a visit by the VP, a black-gay parade and the temperatures are going to be high, that it is very likely, in your opinion, that these people may break out in to mass-scale rioting and looting?
Let me know how much it hurts when hit in the head by rioters throwing fabulousness in anger.

i understood it, i just don't recall it being a normal thing for gay parades, not that there's a "gay normal" per sey, but there's just not any memory for me, of gay parades ending in rioting. of course, i don't keep track of parades of any kind so i wouldn't know for certain, i just don't recall it in the news when i did hear mention of gay parades. however, it is a celebration rather than a protest. the mood would naturally be different. might be hard to provocateur something that upbeat.
biden, on the other hand, since it's political, could be a different story. i dunno though since i've also never heard of riots at the appearances of vice presidents. hehe'
it's food for thought though.
