Let’s be real here for a sec. Yes, this concert had a large demographic that is being described.
As others have alluded to, there are plenty of “whiter” concerts that have had similar dumb results.
This is not a race thing. This is a stupidity, trashy background, and mob behavior thing.

Crowd crushes have been a part of mass gatherings ever since humans started gathering in mass.
quote:
In 80, Flavius Josephus recorded that in 66 AD, at around the beginning of the First Roman–Jewish War, a Roman soldier mooned Jewish pilgrims at the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem who had gathered for Passover, and "spake such words as you might expect upon such a posture" causing a riot in which youths threw stones at the soldiers, who then called in reinforcements – the pilgrims panicked, and the ensuing stampede resulted in the death of ten thousand Jews.

Crowd crushes are a big fear of mine. Don't know why. I've never liked being in masses of people.

I agree with you. But if this were say a Foo Fighters, or Marilyn Manson, or Chevelle, or Pearl Jam, or Bad Wolves, or any other rock concert, it would be made into a "white people are evil" race thing by a lot of media outlets. Just watch that Woodstock 99 documentary to see what I'm talking about. No way anyone in the media makes bad behavior at a rap concert into a race thing.

what a clusterfrick this whole scene yesterday appears to be.
a quick scan of online reactions:
1) blaming the organizers and especially the rapper who created this event.
2) bitching about not getting a refund and demanding free merchandise
I feel for the good parents out there who have to deal with their kids being into this garbage scene.
