alright y'all. you are acting like you went to see the frickin symphony or sumptin. YOU WENT TO A CONCERT. A STADIUM CONERT.

This means: lotsa drinkin, rowdy frat boys, smoking in that bathrooms and everywhere else there isn't security, etc.

The huge majority of the crowd weren't insane prince-heads like us. They paid their hard earned money as much as everyone else and have the right to enjoy the show how they see fit.

That being said, bwnladybug, it sucks that someone spilled on you and didn't offer to do anything about it. Did you tell security? I do agree that spilling ON others crosses the line. But I laugh when people attend major shows and complain about others havin their own fun.

For the record, I enjoyed some drinks one night. I timed this with the night I ended up with aisle seats so I wouldn't be making others move the whole time. This night I had a blast and didn't spill a drop.

Another night I wasn't drinking, but I did get a soda. This night I did have to use the bathroom and make people move so I could get out. Burn me at the stake, I guess. Also, this night the soda was knocked over at some point. The woman next to me was dancing barefoot so I warned her and she just said "well it's a concert, of course stuff is gonna get spilled" and she kept on dancing. It was not some big crisis.

I dunno, that's the attitude I go to major shows with. I've been spilled on, crashed into, etc. While I may get upset for a moment I refuse to let others ruin my night. People will be PARTYING and it's not my place to determine how 20,000 people can and should have fun.

[color=indigo:1e657a6252] See my post a few posts up.....totally agree w/ u!![/color]

should i now say that there was a black chick at the indianapolis show who kept getting up to pee and stepped on my mom's foot? you know those young black women. always peein' ever five seconds and steppin' on old ladies' feet.

or what about the nordic looking woman next to me at the champaign show who could NOT put her cell phone down for two seconds? damn nordic people, always on their cells.

then there was that short dude on stage who wouldn't stand still. stinkin' short people, they need to chill out.

There's only two things I hate: Intolerance of other cultures, and the Dutch.

What movie is that from?

you musta posted that while I was writing my mini-novel!

me too! this white couple (yes, I said white couple) kept on going in and out of my row and spilling beer all over the place. Then when I went to the bathroom to get something to wipe it up with and there weren't any paper towels. Luckily there was an extra roll of TP in one of the stalls and I copped it to take back with me to clean up their mess. The floor was sticky the rest of the night and it really took away from the concert. Is it too much to ask that they sip their drink down a bit before attempting to cross a tight aisle full of people? I think not. I went home smelling like an Irish pub.

Maybe the vendors need to start putting kiddie lids on thier cups. I always get one for my daughter b/c it eliminates spills.
Drunken non- fans at P concerts suck. Not only do they not know the words, but they scream and holler at the most innopportune times. Then they lean over to you and yell out something that can only be described as drunken-drivel that no one can interpret let alone tolerate smelling. It sucks to stand next to drunks esp. after I paid $154 to see P for the first time.

I said it the way I wanted to say it. There is no need to correct me on it.

I think u mis-understand what i was implying. Obviously, many, including myself were not satisfied with your need to include the term 'white' when refering to certain individuals and their bad behaviour in your initial post. Now that you have removed the offending word, you ask us if 'we' are satisfied. In response i suggested that perhaps you should be asking yourself the question - 'Are 'YOU', the culprit, satisfied that the term 'white' has been removed or do you still believe that it holds some relevance to remain within the context of your post?

I didn't mis-understand what you were asking. The answer to your question is no! Don't get me wrong, I like white people but everytime I get around Caucasian people (how's that?) who has been drinking they are really obnoxious and rude. Maybe I'm a little bit more conservative.

As an Afro-American brother from L.A., who likes to drink beer and can handle it when in public.....I want to voice my opinion about bwnladybug's pinhead comment here in the ORG. I feel for you and your bad experience at the concert. P puts on a show that everyone has the right to enjoy at its utmost level. BUT.....for YOU to come in here and #1 label these folks as "white" (like that had anything to do with it) AND also imply that they did it on purpose is just an idiot statement. YOU are whats wrong with the world today!!! YOU are no different than the "white" man that wears a hood over his head. If it had been a sista or brother that spilled on you....would you have turned around and shared your "fried chicken and watermelon" with them????? YOU, bwnladybug, are the reason why black folks cannot get ahead in this world, cause when THEY see YOU do it.....then it only enforces it in their narrow minds that its ACCEPTABLE to say and do that to ANYONE. Just get over it and call it an experience!!!!!

P.S. I love the way that you also get indignate and are pissed cause people were enraged by your comment!!!! You took the word "white" out and did everyone a favor, right???? Why does this type of SHIT happen ONLY in the Midwest????? Backward-ass folk, thats why!!!

bwnladybug said:

so how's the behavior of drunk black people, then - zenlike? "oh man, i am soooo TRASHED...i think i'm gonna go meditate now and explore the essence from within (burp)..."

drunk is drunk is drunk.

STUPID knows no color. believe that.

You can talk all that shit all you want. Hey you must have Jungle Fever being a brother from LA probably dating a white chick. Who has an identity crisis and who is standing up for you white wife of girlfriend. I think you better wake and and smell the damn coffee. If you ever been through the shit that I have been through growing up in a all white neighborhood being call everything from ni**er to coon and being chased home from the bus stop by grown ass men. Making comments saying go back to Africa and stay there then you would know where I am coming from. Come Back To reality.

If it was a brothere or sista that spilled beer on me they would the same response that I would give anybody. Plus the shit that you just said was the dumbest shit that came out of your mouth.

OH...you are the only one of our peeps to have anything said or done to them because of the color of your skin. Give me a break and let me get you a violin and crying towel!!!! You are truly amazing.....you give me feedback talking about what I said, and basically give me a reason why you are a RACIST!!!! Black/white, white/black...doesnt matter, a racist is a racist!!! You my nubian girl are a RACIST!!!! No matter how YOU slice it.....you were mad cause "white" folk did it!!! Nothing else.....you hairdo, clothes, concert, beer smell, you were put off that white people did this to YOU. See, what you dont understand is that P and NPG stand for "Love4oneanother".....your views here just in this post alone, show that you arent a true NPG'er. Just another one of those wannabees who went to hear Purple Rain be sung. With that said, there's no reason for me to continue to HELP you see the light and change your ways...and trust me.....I used the term "Nubian girl" VERY loosely in your regard.

Look at your reply.....you call my fried chicken and watermelon comment "dumb shit", not even seeing my word for what it was.....a parody of the stupid insensitive garbage coming out of your piehole. Furthermore, my wife (who is black), would NEVER insult or embarrass her peeps as you have done here today. Take some time out, come back here in a couple of hours and just read your posts....if you are just half educated, I'm sure you will realize how much of an ass you have been, and feel completely ashamed by your actions!!!
