RealTalk has an interesting writeup in response to this article entitled “The Inequality Of Black History Month.”

And this joint, “Mayhem Main Event at NBA All-Star Weekend,” sort’ve made me shake my head & laugh it off.

“And, worst of all, All-Star Weekend revelers have transformed the league’s midseason exhibition into the new millennium Freaknik, an out-of-control street party that features gunplay, violence, non-stop weed smoke and general mayhem…All-Star Weekend can no longer remain the Woodstock for parolees, wannabe rap artists and baby’s mamas on tax-refund vacations.”

I’ve never been to an actual game, but I did hit ASG Weekend in ATL a few years ago. Even @ the home of Freaknik, I don’t recall any of that type of stuff happening. But when you mix alot of money (which is what you’d had to have to hit VEGAS on ASG Weekend), gambling, egos, legal prostitution, free alcohol, and plenty of other stuff, what would you expect in Vegas, which is constantly advertised as an adult playground. A friend of mine works for the LVPD and he said they have @ least one murder every two days or so.

ASG weekend, guess how many were reported?

None

Two shooting incidents were reported though. But that would be the equivalent of any weekend for major urban area I’d guess.

SMH @ trying to make something out of nothing.

Anyways, dude must’ve been staying @ Circus Circus or somewhere low-end if he was surrounded by all that riff-raff because Vegas is a large enough place where you can party how you want to party and with who you want to party with.
