i found the youtube video. several of us discussed on saturday how easy it would be for someone to put the day's events on that website. not so great for the town's reputation, huh?

Does Ms. Weatherbee know what happened after the festival on Mill St. when the young black men decided to act like the N word? It's not the town's reputation that got shown up that night.

It was evident from all the trash left on the side walks, post office steps, curbs, etc. something negative happened downtown over the weekend. I am glad I was not in town over the weekend to see it but I hear it was "typical".

We had friends from out of town visiting over the weekend. They cam ein on Thursday evening and spent time in town Friday eating and shopping downtown. They were most impressed with Barnesville, downtown, Gordon Campus, the historic district, the people they encountered in passing. But when Saturday festivities hit especially at night, they were glad they had been here earlier to get a good first impression. If they had come in to town on Satuday evening they would have hurried out of town not to ever return. Just out of control up to no good crowds roaming the streets with litter.

If we are going to have things of the sort, lets have some order.

Buggy Days use to be crazy too. At least it has order to it now. And yes they were usually white rednecks causing all the trouble. I can say that cause I am white and (a former redneck) who use to be one of the Buggy Days party animals. But we cleaned up and it is time others did too.

NO you dont understand if barnesville has the festival they should understand that if the streets fill up with people who have no respect for themselves or there AND OUR community thats what you get.

I to am a (former redneck) And we had respect for OUR community. You got to give it to us if we tore somthing up we didnt paint a gang sign on it and walk off. The next day we went back and fixed it, Then said IM SORRY, (that is if we couldint fix it before they found out)... THATS CALLED RESPECT!!

IM SURE that no matter where you are in town or how new you are here it will be evident you can park a car in a fire lane if you have LOUD RAP MUSIC PLAYING AND YOU ARE NOT EVEN IN YOUR CAR! Im sorry but i dont care if its a gas station or red lobster,I will not spend my money there if theres a car in the lot whith nobody in it and the radio so loud every body can hear it. Maby mama and daddy didnt play with these ass holes when they wer kids, didnt teach them respect for them selves or anybody else, They think its cool to trash a place cause they already trashed there place and want the city or county to fix it for them so they can trash it agean. And im not racist if you are white and you fit this discription im talkin about you!.. But hey maby this festival will do for Barnesville what freaknick did for Atlanta...LOL...POWP

Speaking on parking in the fire lane. Can't these people read or they just don' give a fat rats ass. It would not do for me to be in law inforcement because the laws would be obeyed or the sorry suckas would be fined up the wazoo. What also galls me is someone I know who parks in the fire lane, who has a handicap sticker and then doesn't even get out of the vehicle I know the kids are not handicapped so why does she feel it is her priviledge to park in the front door when the fat lazy pig don't walk.

Most of them do it because they think sombody owes them somthing,Think there the only person on the earth that matters.These are the same people who let there children run wild and blame you and call you names if you say (get the little big headed filthy basturd under some kinda controll) No respect for themselves much less there elders.

Not so great for the town's reputation- is a comment left about the video. Let's not pretend we have the perfect town. In this town you have too either know the right people or have lots of money. If not then you are going to be looked down on. So maybe we should all move out of Barnesville including all who came to the festival and leave the stuck up high class here. We should also leave the rednecks here too. The town's reputation well everything you do, down to your bank account is known about you. I watched the video- I did not see anyone acting stupid. The younger generation may refer to the day as (N)day. Let me share some knowledge with you. The term for the (N)word may be seen as brotherhood. As you can see the sisters and brothers of the hertige came together. Nigga- the spelling, pronounciation, meaning and usage of the word has been changed to convey pride and defiance, thereby removing the racial distinctness of the orginal term. Another good example for the meaning of N.I.G.G.A- "NEVER IGNORANT GETTING GOALS ACCOMPLISHED". Should we take more time to educate the meaning of this day- yes we should. By the way anytime an event is held there will be trash left behind. Could we have more control over the festivities-yes. Maybe more events could have also been offered. I think someone made a comment there was crowds out of control up to no good roaming the streets. Were you are your friends harmed, robbed, or offended in anyway by the crowd? How can you say they were out of control and up to no good? Barnesville should offer more things for the population to do. Instead of being scared of growth. To the former redneck- how can you say you are a former redneck? How were you a redneck and not one now? How can you label them as uneducated animals? We were put on this earth to help others. This would include teaching others. If you feel they are uneducated please feel free to offer a class. Make sure you offer the class in a building because these are human beings- not animals. I can't even understand how you could say that. You wanted to know what the Chinese would think of Barnesville if they see the video. Well why would you have to ask for us to make sure we show how friendly we are the day the Chinese came to our town. You asked us to pretend- if we were such a friendly town why would there be a need to send this reminder out? So have the Chinese seen how crooked and prejudice this town really is? Instead of us coming together and helping one another you decide to put them down. For example- this is how Barnesville works- former redneck tears something up and does not go to jail. The redneck is in good with the police. The Black Man- tears something up and he goes to jail. See the difference. Is that respect? Too the comment can these people read- the answer is yes- one because they use to have to read a sign that said whites only. They also learned how to read from the so called school system we have here. I am white and feel everyone should be treated the same. This is a festival that could use improvements. I truly think each of you have taken this a little too far.

OK you got me im still a redneck. now where is this special treatment? Do you mean if i go down town and stand around selling crack they will let me do it? If the law is called to my neighborhood 2 or 3 times a week they just think nothing is up? And i dont care what the chinese think of barnesville ive lived here all my life without the chinese and i wont give a hill of sewage to know what they think of me! I will give as much respect as i get and the n word applys to whites as well. And im sorry if i said they wer uneducated animals. I ment to say they wer educated and learned respect and manors from there school and there parents. Then they went out and acted like uneducated animals. And then you say all the law in lamar county is racist,they let rednecks go and put blacks in jail.HORSE SHIT! As a redneck i have ben in jail BELIVE ME NO SPECIAL TREATMENT! And to the whites only thing im 39 years old i dont rember it there wer whites and blacks in my class from the first grade on. I spent 9 months a year whites and blacks, I got friends and classmates i went to school with both colors! You brought up the whites only thing. Do you feal guilty? or do you sombody else to?

Dont give me that hard way shit man! Im white and when i was a kid we wer poor, Dirt poor we split wood till it was time to go school then our mother gave us lunch money it added up to a dollar a day.most (not all) but most of the black kids wer talkin about what was on cable tv last nite, And oddly they had free lunch tickets,They even handed them out to there friends.but we had to buy our lunch so we could not afford cable tv. My buddy was turned down for a state job because they had to many whites, they needed women and blacks.SNAP OUT OF THAT SHIT ASS HOLE! The world dont owe you a living and society is not going to kiss your special black ass! POWP

If we are going to have a Black Arts Festival how about organizing and having one. So with all the growth and attention coming to Barnesville why are we not progressing? We have a fire department with only 3 full time employees. We have a police department that is not even open at night with the same number of officers we had in 1970. So why would we want to start making sense and actually do something right? We would rather have Nigga Day and blame it on the blacks and the blacks can complain about being degraded by the whites. WELCOME TO BARNESVILLE!
