*** NYC Had a "Black Woodstock" in Central Park ***
I know two people who attended Woodstock. One of them told me many years ago that a few of the "hippies" were not "cool" with People of Color. I didn't get an elaboration as to why.
When you look at the photos from Woodstock, it's an ocean of white people.
FTA:
"At a park in Harlem, nearly 100 miles from the farm field in Bethel that hosted Woodstock, a fascinating series of free concerts took place during consecutive Sunday afternoons in July and August 1969 " including the weekend of the Woodstock festival. Officially dubbed the "Harlem Cultural Festival," the concert series now carries a haunting nickname: "Black Woodstock."
The Harlem concerts, which also included speeches by activists such as the Rev. Jesse Jackson, drew a combined audience that nearly equaled Woodstock's " about 300,000 people. The festival also featured a lineup that was essentially an all-star team of African-American performers: Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder, B.B. King, Gladys Knight and the Pips, and the Fifth Dimension. Only one band that played in Harlem " Sly and the Family Stone " also performed in Bethel. Not unexpectedly, photos from the Harlem concerts and those from Woodstock show a divided nation " blacks in Harlem; whites at Woodstock."

There's a word for men who are keenly interested in other men's sexual preferences. Men who ask about other men's sexual practices frequently, publicly, out loud.
That word is homosexual.
