Forest Hills Stadium flap takes twist as pol flings claims of 'racism' at noise-weary neighbors in fight to save summer concerts
Briefly

Queens Borough President Donovan Richards has accused local residents, particularly from the Forest Hills Garden Corp, of having racial motives against black concert-goers attending events at Forest Hills Stadium. He claimed that noise complaints were a facade used to mask their discomfort with black audiences. Richards highlighted that racial overtones persist in music preferences and emphasized the need to confront these underlying issues directly. Discussions also surrounded the economic impact of concert cancellations on the local community, underscoring that such a shutdown would be financially devastating for those employed at the stadium.
Richards stated, 'Just mad black people are in your community for concerts. After Rock The Bells is when you got hyper!!! We are here to stay.'
