#294. Peaceful 'Screen on the Green' Events


Black people are correct to call Atlanta the Black capital of America. Where else could a memo be leaked that called for Black people to unite together to keep a white women from becoming mayor of their city?

Some call Detroit the Black capital of America, a city which offers a glimpse into the strength and vitality of Black entrepreneurship and leadership, and acts as a microcosm for what the future holds for all major cities that lose any sense of racial diversity and become completely Black.

Atlanta. The home of Freaknic, Clayton County, Dekalb County (don't worry, this entry is coming), Georgia Tech students, near empty high-rise condo buildings and the largest concentration of homosexuals in the world is the true capital of Black America.

Though Atlanta is becoming increasingly white, the Black population of the city still sports a slight edge in maintaining racial hegemony and recently showcased that power in Piedmont Park during a showing of Transformers 2 at the recently returning 'Screen on the Green':

Mayor Kasim Reed said police and parks officials will conduct a comprehensive review of security protocols in wake of the melee that interrupted Thursday night's "Screen on the Green" at Piedmont Park.

Reed vowed the city will take "extraordinary steps to make sure that the security strategy for this event is adequate and fully-enforced."

In the meantime sponsors of the long-running summer film series have decided to postpone next Thursday's feature by one week, Peachtree TV said in a statement released Friday afternoon.

Sponsors Peachtree TV, City of Atlanta and the Piedmont Park Conservancy are "committed to continuing this summer tradition in the city's landmark park, and are working together to ensure that it remains a safe and fun family event," the statement said.

It was anything but that Thursday night, according to witnesses who said groups of marauding teens took over the event.

At a late-morning press conference, interim Police Chief George Turner said that the city requires that all special event organizers have a security plan in place that specifies the number of "personnel required for the event based on the information that is supplied in the application."

"While the Atlanta Police Department works in partnership with the event organizers and the Mayor’s Office of Special Events, the security personnel are responsible for ensuring the city-approved plan is followed," Turner said.

But, he said that in the future on-duty Atlanta officers will monitor the event.

That might be counter-productive, concert promoter Alex Cooley told the AJC.

"Nothing against the police, but when you have a uniform navigating through a crowd of people that can cause problems," said Cooley, who promoted the Midtown Music Festival.

Cooley, who's promoted events and concerts at home and abroad, said Atlanta's security policy is routine.

"I've been doing large-scale events for 35 years and that's how it's always been," he said. Typically the promoter will contract with a private security force that provides "T-shirt security," Cooley said. "They marshal a force and try to diffuse the situation. If that doesn't work, they go to the off-duty cops who are usually stationed around the perimeter of the grounds.

"Maybe I've been lucky, but I've never experienced any major problems with security."

But some witnesses at Thursday's screening of "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" said security was inadequate.

Ron Sweatland wrote the AJC in an early morning e-mail Friday that about 15 minutes into the movie, "everyone's attention was diverted to the back end of the event where a group fight was taking place.

"There seemed to be no police presence and after about 10 minutes of this brawl it broke up with a group of people running into the dark," Sweatland wrote.

Turner said approximately 10,000 people were in the park, with 23 off-duty officers providing security.

After the fracas – Turner said it started with girls fighting, followed by a group of boys scuffling – the movie was stopped and off-duty officers “dumped” the park.

“Then we got a call from off-duty and we responded with the blue lights,” Turner said, adding that one person has been arrested for an unrelated incident. The chief said there was no evidence of gunfire at the event, as some had reported.

Police continue to look for suspects. An incident report was not available when requested Friday afternoon from Atlanta Police.

Turner said the movie drew a larger crowd than anticipated.

“They had a young – if you will – movie,” Turner said. “And they had more people than they anticipated. It was a lot younger crowd.”

One movie-goer said free chicken sandwiches may had contributed to the brawl.

"It was an absolute mob scene, from the Chick-fil-A girls getting mobbed trying to hand out free sandwiches to the complete lack of respect for the people watching the movie," said Marc Freund.

"After enduring the first 30 minutes of the movie with people walking around and screaming, we decided to leave," Freund told the AJC.

Midtown resident Jeff Keesee said there were "gangs of kids roaming the aisles, doing stunts to get crowd reactions. People just standing around talking, yelling -- disrespect, rudeness, unruliness -- a total disaster."

Sweatland wrote that as his group headed to their cars, he saw a group of "high school-aged kids" throwing rocks at passing vehicles. One of the rocks "completely shattered the back window" of one of the cars, he said.

He said many of the children in the crowd were "scared and crying."

"I can remember a time when Screen on the Green was great family fun and we always looked forward to going," he wrote. "I think this will be our last time going and our friends agree that they will no longer go either."

"Up until the drought, I never missed a Screen on the Green in Piedmont Park," Keesee told the AJC. "I was so excited it was allowed back in. After tonight's debacle, I will work tirelessly to have it shut down unless something is done to improve crowd control."

Keesee said he didn't see a single police officer as the situation got "completely out of control."

Josh Hice, 26, of Newnan, was driving by Piedmont Park Thursday night with a friend when he said he was attacked by a group of high school-age people.

"There was a car stopped in front of me and a car stopped behind me, and there was this crowd of about 30 high school kids parading down the street," said Hice, who was driving an open-top Jeep.

First, a girl came up and spat in his face, Hice said, then he was punched in the face by another teen.

"It split my lip, then they start climbing all over my Jeep, and I turn around and my buddy is getting punched in the face and has blood pouring out of his nose," Hice said. "It was ridiculous. We were definitely victims of a hate crime."

Traffic ahead of Hice finally moved "and I just peeled out of there. I peeled out even with one of the dudes still hanging on the back of the Jeep, and he just jumped off."

"I felt like I was in another country," Hice said.

Last September, the Black Gay Pride Parade at Piedmont Park unfortunately descended into chaos. Reports of chicken being behind that event disintegrating into violence are unsubstantiated.

It is a well known fact that Black people are incapable of being quiet during movies. Now, imagine an outdoor festival where Transformers 2 (a movie that Black people found offensive for having two stereotypical Black robot characters) is playing in the unofficial Black capital of America. What happened in early June 2010 is sadly what transpires routinely at events staged across the nation when Black people gather in large numbers, as scores of Black people engaged in behavior that brought ruination and disrepute to the 'Screen on the Green' reputation:

The June 10 Screen on the Green showing of "Dreamgirls" has been postponed due to last night's melee. The series will resume with "Dreamgirls" on June 17, according to Peachtree TV.

"The Piedmont Park Conservancy, Peachtree TV, the City of Atlanta and other sponsors are committed to continuing this summer tradition in the city's landmark park, and are working together to ensure that it remains a safe and fun family event," according to a statement on Peachtree TV's website.

The popular Screen on the Green series at Piedmont Park ended abruptly last after several fights broke out and there were unconfirmed reports of gunfire.

Worse, another pattern is becoming painfully discernible, for once again a form of cooked poultry serves to create disadvantageous situations for Black people and anyone unfortunate enough to be near a ruinously diminutive supply of fowl.

Just like Tulsa's Chicken Hut and when Popeyes ran out of its prized offering, chicken contributed to the breakup of the peaceful viewing of the film in Atlanta.

Perhaps this is why block parties in the Black community have a habit of breaking out into violence: the supply of chicken is finite.

Stuff Black People Don't Like will include peaceful 'Screen on the Green' events, as Black people lack the ability to endure such an activity when a movie is showing with the simultaneous nuisance of free chicken sandwiches running out.

Black people don't like being quiet during movies and Black people don't enjoy shortsighted suppliers of chicken, especially when this delicacy is free.

You can bet no one shushed a Black person at this 'Screen on the Green'.

'Screen on the Green' video can be found here, showing a most unfortunate fight victim. Another story of the event can be found here.

UPDATE: SBPDL has learned that Chick-fil-A engineered a Flash Mob to promote the company's new chicken sandwich at the June 3rd 'Screen on the Green' event. A video of that is below, which helps those not from Atlanta understand the racial dynamics of the Piedmont Park event.

The adjective "Peaceful" itself seems to be antithetical to anything black people like at this point. Aside from a handful of magical Negroes, violence is the only way they can articulate themselves.

How did this event, even in the planning stage,look good on paper? "Hey, I've got a good idea. Let's screen a movie with a bunch of explosions, for free, in a majority black city, with a limited supply of chicken to give away." I'm only surprised that this didn't end up being an even bigger powder keg than it was.

One comment that stuck out was by a woman interviewed about the event. "I felt like I was in a different country." Much like life in the Super Dome during Katrina, we have Africa in our midst again.

White people being targeted for being white seems to be a relatively new phenomenon. But the attacks will probably escalate slowly enough for whites to not notice how they are being besieged, until it is too late.

Remember the parable about the Frog? If you throw a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will immediately jump out. But if you place it in a warm pot, slowly bringing it to a boil, the frog will relax and allow itself to be boiled, remaining sedate throughout the process.

Well, white America, the temperature has just increased a couple degrees. We've gone from a lukewarm melting pot to a nice hot jacuzzi. Feels great, doesn't it?

They should run Tyler Perry movies all summer long and let the black folks beat the funk out of each other for a few months. Throw in some free chicken for under half the crowd and let the fun begin. The best part about that approach is that you should have minimal amounts of whites in attendance.

Sad as this sounds, it's best that humans learn the ugly truths about negroes while they are still as young as possible.

It will save them from wasting time and energy on bleeding heart efforts in the future.

They should just show Chris Rock movies and give out ak-47's instead of chik fil-a. They'll turn on each other and next thing you know...problem solved

Why anyone would choose to live in an area or attend an event where there are considerable numbers of primitive, violent Third Worlders is beyond me. I enthusiastically anticipate the day where I can move away from the big city where I currently live to escape their malevolent and toxic presence.

You must have selective attention.

Let's not forget Woodstock '99.

Let's not forget random punk rock and heavy metal concerts.

Let's not forget just watching truTV's 'Most Shocking' and seeing American whites and Europeans from colorless countries act a fool when games, music shows, anything are cancelled.

Everything cuts both ways. Anytime you have people en masse, shit will inevitably hit the proverbial fan. This is a law of nature.

I mean, jeez. Your disingenuousness has reached new heights! At first I thought you were merely a disgruntled little white boy with an axe to grind against blacks, maybe because you aren't as good at sports?

But now...I just think you are a liar.

Sad.

Oh, by the way, you attract very intelligent white commenters.

Why do you continually let CWN comment? He should be banned for that disgusting joke (not to mention his continued sexism). I won't get on white body odor here but if I was him, I wouldn't be flapping my gums... (wish you were here, sweetie! A good thrashing would sort you out mighty fine...)

You must be oh so fucking proud...

LOL Comparing rock concerts to a FAMILY EVENT.

Lame and pathetic.

Maybe we should talk about all the shootings at rap concerts...

Miss Ann said...

"Oh, by the way, you attract very intelligent white commenters."

Helpful hint, successful sarcasm requires a bright mind and a quick wit and is best left to the Humans.

Also, one would hope that after six years of college you would at least understand that "commenters" is a "word" that was "invented" by double-digit negroes and thus, a "word" best left for double-digit negro on negro "conversating."

In other words, when you dun beez trying to empres Humans with your edumacationable xperence, it dun beez best to leeb da 'BONICS at hom wit da fambly in da 'jects.

@ Desiree, in the most narrow-minded sense, blacks outperform whites in sports, provided you are only talking about competitive sports in the US. If you're talking about worldwide (which I hope you're not) and including Olympic events, plenty of Whites, Asians, Latinos, etc. dominate the field.

Want to guess the color of the two brothers who have dominated the heavyweight division of boxing for the last decade. Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko together have destroyed more black men than AIDS, standardized testing, and fat white women combined.

Studies have shown that mixed martial arts is the fastest growing sport in the United States. Watch UFC or Strikeforce and you will routinely be treated to "inferior" white men beating the holy shit out of your "superior" black brothers.

But maybe you're right. The most popular spectator sport in the US is NASCAR. I don't watch it, but I believe the best driver right now is a black man. As for Canada, the most popular sport is Hockey, which was invented by George Washington Carver and continues to be dominated by blacks to this day.

I stand corrected.

No, it is not correct. "Commenter" is negro slang. The OED will tell you so.

I surmise from your comment that you are not Human. Perhaps we should add "having their ghetto 'bonics translated into proper English" to the list of stuff that negroes do not like?

CWN said...

Desiree,

What's the matter boo, did that joke hit too close to home? I will stop being "sexist" when you stop being racist.

Also, I love how hypocritical you are. Everyone was saying that YOU should be banned, but I never said a word. But, in typical black fashion, you turn around and say that it is I Who should be banned now. That is not very nice at all. Tsk Tsk.

I also could have swore that you were not going to comment anymore. What happened? Couldn't stay away from the white menz for that long, could ya?

Miss Ann, "commenter" is correct. I posted a link that you apparently ignored, here's another:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Commenter

I also looked it up in my Random House Webster's College Dictionary, and it IS correct.

However, it is NOT worth arguing about.

I can't imagine WHY this is so important to you, particularly that you feel the need to insult me, even though I've addressed you respectfully, and will continue to do so.

I'm white, and have been posting on this site for months. The topics discussed here are far too important to get lost in a sea of petty grammar disputes. Please try to avoid this stuff.

As Bill O'Reilly says, ""I'll give you the last word".

:o)

Have a nice day!

Miss Ann said...

"Random House Webster's College Dictionary"

Too funny! College dictionaries (as well the "free" online dictionaries) are written for half-wits and negroes. Of course they feature negro slang. Duh.

When in doubt as to whether something is proper English, always consult the OED.

Even my 5 year old shuns negro dictionaries and if you truly were Human, you would do so as well but since you are a negro you probably believe that OED is a new form of VD.

"However, it is NOT worth arguing about."

Here we have proof positive that you are not Human. Intelligent Humans who speak English as their mother tongue understand the importance of defending the beauty of the English language against the pernicious and pervasive attacks by simpletons, negroes and whiggers. (You probably know them better as "conversators.")

"The topics discussed here are far too important to get lost in a sea of petty grammar disputes. Please try to avoid this stuff."

What "sea?" Are you high? We're talking about a few comments and if you would have simply kept your large nose out of it, there would be even fewer comments for you to fret about.

I made a comment about ONE person's grammar. If you don't understand why desiree's grammar is fair game, go back and read her inane comments from the beginning.

I could take the time to further explain it to you but I don't expend that much effort on a negro unless I receive proper remuneration.

P.S. I always have a nice day because I wake up Human every morning.

Miss Ann, in spite of your attempt to play GRAMMAR POLICE, those sources are legitimate, and your predictable insults don't change that.

"I made a comment about ONE person's grammar. If you don't understand why desiree's grammar is fair game, go back and read her inane comments from the beginning."
Desiree's posts are literally overflowing with points to be refuted. Your attempt to play GRAMMAR POLICE is petty, and a distraction, but if it improves your self-esteem, then by all means, play on.

Now please, hurry up and respond with "you're not human" and "negro" and "half-wit" and "large nose", it's so mature.

Stay classy.

(BTW, I hid one grammar error in this post, see if you can find it!)

No, CWN, I'm not being a hypocrite for the simple fact I make good points and you never do. You continually harp on your own masturbatory fantasies about white women being raped in droves by black men. It's annoying and provides no opportunities for edification.

But you're right. You never called for me to leave. I'm sorry...

And it's quite funny you can sit there and call me a racist. No, quite funny is an understatement... What are you, by the way? Jeez, you're funny!

It didn't hit close to home at all. In fact, my major gripe is the imagery (I have a B.O. phobia), the racism, and the hypocrisy.

And, yes, I sho cain't resist white menz!

Miss Ann is a tragic white woman who most likely tans her skin because she hates her own skin color. She is a moron who can't see the forest for the trees. Only people with tiny IQs get stuck on spelling, grammar, typos, etc.

Yes, 'commenter' is the correct term. A 'commentator' is someone who writes commentaries. SBPDL is a 'commentator'; we are merely 'commenters'. But her extremely predictable retort was that those dictionaries are written not by linguists or those who are experts in the English language but 'negroes' and 'half-wits'.

Very, very classy. How sad it must be for her to try and convince herself she's right when shown the truth.
