It will just be a matter of time with the foolish talk of boycott before the Jews get their way( no parade on Eastern PKWY ), as if they will lose sleep over this.

All this inner fighting and the BS the Hawks are on is all BS......they Hawks should address the inner war within their camp and where all the boat ride profits went, etc... those are the issues...

Jed, do you know what you are saying? What does any kind of inner war with Hawks or who ever have to do with what WIDCA agreed to with the City and the NYPD? Why is it that other parades in the city (Manhattan) can have artist and other people on floats but not US? what is so different about that? and why? 2nd, what ever money that was profitted from any kind of Boat ride, is it going to change the rules and regulations? No its not because if they should have money to get up to code with all of these regulations, how are they making a profit if the vendors themselves and other venues have to meet certain requirements? Also, with these vendors i have noticed that food vendors who are not even Caribbean were doing business on this day. Now tell me who the hell is going to fly all the way from England to eat a regular HOT DOG? Did they come to eat Caribbean food or an Italian sausage?

I dont see how much fun these masquareders are going to have this year since there is going to be no one on the floats to entertain them along with the DJ, worst yet, what are they going to do if the DJ sucks? WASTE A FRIGGIN MONEY.

The WIDCA is a WEAK organization with WEAK leaders behind it. They are more of the HOUSE NEGRO than a FIELD NEGRO. Yes Master, ok Master. Chueps

All i have to say to sum it up, Someone is profitting from this thing and no one else is see no kind of bread from it, not even crums. And i think the WIDCA has the whole BREAD. Besides, when registering with the WIDCA there must be some kind of fee to go along with the registration. Can you see the MAFIA Style mentality or your still

Additional rules and regulations yes, but the main ingredients of the event which are the most important ones are no more and that is why the NYC Carnival is DEAD.
