Racial Violence and Denial in Schenectady

[Geee]

Front Page Magazine:

It is easy to see why the powers that be want to keep a lid on several episodes of black mob violence in downtown Schenectady, NY.

 

This is the same kind of violence that caused people to flee places like Schenectady, Flint, Wilmington and hundreds of other cities around the country. Replacing vibrant, small town centers of commerce with hollow, dangerous hulks.

 

 

Now that investors are back, trying to rebuild Schenectady, the last thing they want is anyone talking about a large group of black people assaulting patrons in the shiny new downtown movie theater.

 

But that is what happened: The beat down. And the denial.

 

It took a while for the story to come out, but in June, an unidentified 46-year-old man and his two daughters were watching White House Down when a large group of black people in the theater started making a lot of noise.
