I even went to a women’s expo a couple of years ago during a date. Wasn’t much for me there but the date enjoyed it.

I used to drive the Trailways coach to Indy. The bus station
and the hotel I stayed at were ground zero during the Black
Expo. I never felt a bit of hostility toward me. The first
time I was going to my room and was with a large group of
black women on the elevator. I asked them what was going on and they said “Black Expo”. I said “no wonder I didn’t get
and invitation”. They thought that was hilarious. As far as
the shootings, that’s probably about normal for that part of
Indy.

Never been to a Black Expo. What exactly is the purpose? Maybe it's the only place left where you can still buy blacks.

Some Amish youts crashed the expo and screwed it up for all the brothas and sistas who were just trying to be entrepreneurs....

"Never been to a Black Expo. What exactly is the purpose?" Depends on which part of their anatomy they plan to "EXPO".

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Police say eight people were wounded in a burst of gunfire in downtown Indianapolis during the Indiana Black Expo and two more in separate shootings that followed..... How do we know this isn't a typical day in Indy.

I hate the fact that you have to register at the Record now. South Stockton is such a crime infested area I don’t see how anyone could live there! But then again, Stockton has become just a crime infested place period! Dirty, nasty, ugly place for a long time now.

"One of the Indianapolis Pastors came out earlier today with support of the local police and a request for parents to get their children in control." I grew up in Indy as a child...yes..right downtown. Our Black Christian community is fantastic. If it wasn't for them, we probably would be as bad as Chicago. These shooters where out of the ordinary..likely on drugs or from out of town.
The Black Expo is all about the business community and encouraging participation in a real working way. What's to dislike?
People from out-of-state just need to shut their ignorant pie holes.

It’s not the race...it’s that the culture is broken. The Great Society did what the Klan could never do: It destroyed the inner city black family culture.

I agree. If I remember correctly the Black Expo came to Indianapolis because it was the home of Madame Walker, one of the first female millionaires.
She made money by producing cosmetics for AA women and brought many of them up the ladder with her. (I met a friend of her grand daughter at a conference in Indy and accompanied her through the museum. Our guide started doing the jive talking garbage and boy did she put him in his place)
IMO:It would be a conservative pro- independent small business group, encouraging the Black entrepreneurs to build a better life for themselves and their families.
The way I look at it the punks on the street a just trying to keep em in the ghetto instead of prospering. It is a true battle between liberal thug Chicago style philosophy and good Christian hardworking American conservatives.
