So all the folks that think that the Jews want to crush this, take off your and think, anything that makes as much money as this carnival will not be stopped, it will be transitioned. Our fight is not with the weak WIADCA, it is with higher powers! Only way to get a peice of the pie, is to unite. You will see others following very soon. Remember I told you so. Look out for statements from other well known organizations and people. It is going to take leadership and a whole lot of balls. Simple
AKA the pkwy gon flop this yr bcuz only the hot 97 truck gonna be left?! Ahhhhhhhh, this is gettin worse n worse with every passin second.

damn, thats a small arena. i see the problem. it would be better if parade continued down flatbush, through the tunnel and ended up in the Meadowlands Arena...then, more people could go and the tickets would probably be less.

Bad why? How about the fact that no stadium can accomodate the millions of ppl that come to the pkwy every yr. While ur "mom and her friends' will have a comfy seat, what about the other ppl who will be left out?

Is the hot 97 truck going to have masqueraders? If not, how will they get on the parkway? I say this based on WIADCA's regulations.

are the bands going to be bussed in secret to the stadium or something? Longer parade route + Stadium seating = more room for spectators to check out the parade.


But what do I know, you guys carry on.

1 Question right, so since there is going to be a longer route, stadium and all with seating. Who is making the money from all this? and how is that money going towards helping improve the community?

Well shit if that is really the case then why are these bands participating in this thing still? You know the damn roads on flatbush needs to fix, roads on Bedford ave Ffranklin ave Rogers ave and Nostrand ave much less Utica and Church ave, so with all the profit that is earned from this event which i know can clearly fix these minor problems on these streets and also add more community youth centers and also used to save the ROLLER SKATING RING which is no longer possible. WHY ARE THESE BANDS AND U PPL PARTICIPATING IN THIS THING WHEN WE NOT GETTING SHIT BACK IN RETURN?

AMAZING HOW THE HOUSE NEGRO THINKS. JUST AS LONG THEY ENJOY THEMSELVES THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS RIGHT? SHIT I AM SURE THAT SOME OF THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN AGREEMENT TO THESE REGULATIONS and what else going on are not even from the community. I could be wrong but overall, it makes no sense.

So answer this. Are the Irish, Puerto Rican and Italian communities better off because of thier respective parades? Just the parades, nothing else.
