Every once in a while we do get a hint of the real beliefs of Montgomerians.

My husband and I went to the Rave Theater a couple of weeks ago, and after the movie we could barely get past the groups of “thugs” hanging out on the steps outside. We were not surprised at all when we heard about the trouble there recently.

If Ludacris gets to come to Jubilee, the lyrics will be the last reason we will stay away, although his lyrics are very offensive. We will spend our money elsewhere this year simply because of the types of crowds he will draw.

If so many people want to see him perform, put him at the Coliseum, load up the security and sell tickets. Jubilee is supposed to be a family event. No one in their right mind would want to expose their family to any of that.

And what is that exactly Ms. Deloney? What made the people who were hanging outside the theater “thugs” exactly? Did they accost you? I doubt it. Did they pay you any mind at all? I doubt it.

I’m more than certain it was just a group of kids hanging out outside a movie theatre, which happens everywhere in the country. If I were you, I would be thinking long and hard about whether the color of the youths skin made a difference in how you perceived them. And another thing, it’s one thing to be ignorant, it’s another thing to put that ignorance on display for the whole community.
