The Woodstock Festival of 1969 and Human Kindness Day in 1975



Posted by John Engelman

Posters too young to remember the Woodstock Festival in 1969 may have read about it. 400,000 young people, nearly all of whom were white, met at a dairy farm in New York State for a four day rock concert. There were no fights. No one was killed. The few blacks who attended were perfectly safe.
What would have happened if 125,000 mainly black young people had met for a rock concert lasting only a day? You do not need to wonder about it. This is what The Washington Post had to say:

1975 Human Kindness Day’s cruel violence
By — Jenny Pike, Silver Spring September 4, 2011
But plans were made for Human Kindness Day IV, May 10, 1975. Stevie Wonder was the main attraction, scheduled to close a show that included performances by Graham Central Station and other bands.
The crowd was huge, an estimated 125,000 people stretching from the Washington Monument west to 17th Street NW. There were sporadic assaults early in the day, but the real violence didn’t start until after Stevie Wonder’s performance.
A 22-year-old man from Vienna was standing near the base of the monument when a group of men grabbed his wallet. He gave chase and was struck in the mouth with a club. An 18-year-old from Annapolis was jumped by a group of 20 teenagers who beat him and threw bottles at him until he was able to run to an ambulance. The worst injury was to Steven Laine, who was stabbed in his right eye while cutting across the Mall on his way home from work at the Agriculture Department.
“I said, ‘Help me,’ and there was no response,” Laine told a Post reporter from his hospital bed.
By the time it was over, there had been about 500 robberies and 600 injuries, and 150 people were treated at hospitals.

The article does not say it, but nearly everyone present was black. Most of the victims were white. A friend of mine attended with his girl friend. He said that none of the blacks did anything to protect the whites who were attacked. They seemed to approve of what was happening.

What happens on America's Subways - Wild Assaults and Murders - Typically Featuring one Demographic

Image
 There are so many, and I mean so many news stories and videos online of assaults, and murders on the subway systems particularly New York. What is one of the common denominators? Well people can point to lots of things like poverty, mental illness, and so forth, but to me it seems like it is Black people.  An old video but still relevant nonetheless. A woman riding the training only to be almost murdered by beating without provocation by a Wakandan prince: The craziness continues: The stabbings: I could go on all day.  How people can enjoy living in a place like that, without having their own private transportation is beyond me. Isn't New York one of the most expensive cities in the world too? Slave your whole life away just to be killed by violent crime...

Private elite schools teach "wokeness" to kindergarten children

Image
 Ridiculous and unbelievable, rich people are now paying tens of thousands of dollars to send their kids to indoctrination centers where they are taught that all Whites are racist, and everything in their society like math and science is "racist". It's all just so demented.  https://nypost.com/2021/12/19/private-preschools-teaching-the-future-elite-to-be-racist/ Private preschools are teaching the future elite to be racist Wokeness has come to New York City elite private schools. It has infested everything, from social interactions to math. A few weeks ago, teachers at Manhattan’s Brick Church School read “Our Skin: A First Conversation About Race” to several classes. In its lessons on racism, all the racists are, of course, white. One typical line: “A long time ago, way before you were born, a group of white people made up an idea called race.” The idea that people didn’t notice each other’s skin color or features until white people made them is, of course, absurd. “Our ...
