heritage festival is today...
through 9 p.m. at ritz park in downtown barnesville.
what would happen you went and had a white heritage festival? the natives would go nuts thats what,and just what heritage are they celebrating babys born and raised without fathers,drugs,crime poor work ethic but hell your born with a built in excuse,its the white mans fault blame everything on the white man
and one more thing your not african americans your americans. not one of you were born in africa. now if you want to be african delta is ready when you are
a honest black person knows that alot that has been said is the truth. bill cosby and charles barkley know the truth and what makes it so bad is you know the truth.
WHETER BLACK OR WHITE THE LANGUAGE IN THE MUSIC AND PARADE WAS VULGAR AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED NO ONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO PLAY THE FILTHY SONGS AS A CHRISTIAN I AM APALLED YET I KNOW THINGS WILL GET WORSE BECAUSE JESUS SAYS IT WILL
because people are different. I am against hyphenated americanism just as you are, but within america, we are a diverse people. I highly doubt many of the blacks in this town, or country, think of themselves as anything but americans first. The comments you have posted on this blog are half-thought and based on ignorance and racism. Instead of classifying people by race, why not classify them by what they contribute to society. Whites in the trailer park fighting each other and living off my tax dollar is just as bad as blacks in the projects doing the same.
carl i couldn't agree more. but calling someone racist and not knowing what they are talking about and ignorant to the fact and all along you agree with me sorry is sorry, but seperating the sorry into ethnic groups is wrong.
I posted 12:12....I NEVER said a word regarding race. I don't care what music you listen to in the privacy of your own home, however, when you are driving through town in a parade REPRESENTING the people of Barnesville, you should think about what image you are potraying. We had a lot of out of towners downtown for the yard sale, and I feel the language and behavior in the parade did not properly represent our town and the positive things that we DO have going on here.
If they don't consider themselves anything other than americans why did they feel the need to participate in the festivities other than the fact that crows congregate in a flock. See one you see a bunch.
Yeah, if the south had of won we would have had it made! But if you would watch the history channel you would know that Abraham Lincoln had plans for the blacks and one of them was to send them back to africa.
Hey carl i agree people are diffrent. In AMERICA we have always ben diffrent. thats why we have 4th of july as a holiday. But dont try to say you can be proud of your race and at the same time use race as an excuce to have a festival... THATS RACIST.. Thats rite mr high and mighty youre not special no matter what color you are and if you are a real man you dont need a festival to proove who you are.. Be strong and help your community make it safe to walk the street no matter what color you are.oh but it must be me who is racist cause I wont put up with that thug shit.NOR WILL MY NEIGHBORS. WE HIT WHAT WE AIM AT... POWP
This Uncle Jeff, Most people don't know about the "HERITAGE & ARTS FESTIVAL". It was first called the "BLACK ARTS FESTIVAL". It was changed last year (2006) because we wanted all heritages in Barnesville to participate in this great event. We called out to every nationality in Barnesville to be a part of this event. We even called on the native americans in Jackson. For some people it was bad timing. The "HERITAGE & ARTS FESTIVAL" is for all of Barnesville. Yes, we know that racism still exist on both sides and it will always exist whether you like it or not. Not everyone is a racist. Next year "why don't you (the residents of Barnesville)" make a difference.

What is a "Heritage Festival"?
something about african heritage...
what is buggy days?
Well, that parade did not set a good example. The language of the music in some of the cars was horrific! Glad I didn't bring my child downtown.
I totally agree... It was so uncalled for!
what would happen you went and had a white heritage festival? the natives would go nuts thats what,and just what heritage are they celebrating babys born and raised without fathers,drugs,crime poor work ethic but hell your born with a built in excuse,its the white mans fault blame everything on the white man
i will bet you not even 10% of the blacks living in lamar county can name 5 important things about there heritage. you are americans act like it
and one more thing your not african americans your americans. not one of you were born in africa. now if you want to be african delta is ready when you are
I suggest all the decent people go home before dark. Who knows what will happen.
Wouldn't this be a great country if they were all still in Africa!!!
How many of you would post comments like these if you had to give your real names?
This is totally ridiculous!
a honest black person knows that alot that has been said is the truth. bill cosby and charles barkley know the truth and what makes it so bad is you know the truth.
Is this the same festival that has been held on Mill Street in the past, or do we have another one to look forward to in a couple months?
i hope and pray that there is no gun fire like last year. atlanta knows what freeknik did to it's rep.
America will not be America until we are all Americans! Until the "sub titles" that are attached to "American" are gone, we will never be "One Nation"
i agree. no more miss black america no more naacp no more kawanzee or how ever it;s spelled. just celebrate being americans with no ethnic conatations
yall are idiots.
why is that carl, why dont you tell us why we should think of ourselves as being different. this should be good you idiot

Escuse me for assuming this comment was based on ignorance and racism. I was unaware that you had applied reason and logic in your assertion.

therein lies the problem with the great "anonymous" black hole of blogging.
that wasn't my comment carl. i would never say such a thing. i would however say send all the sorry people somewhere.
i wonder what road rage would be like if it was committed based on the color vehicle you drove.
If they don't consider themselves anything other than americans why did they feel the need to participate in the festivities other than the fact that crows congregate in a flock. See one you see a bunch.
If the south would of won we'd of had it made
