The little festival is better known, and advertised as Black Bike Week.
Ping
The mayor’s ass should be in a sling for this.
“Edge said additional law enforcement assistance should be used next year.”
So they’re gonna host Black Bike Week again? They’re fools!
Like others have said, go to Hilton Head, not MB
Didn’t there use to be a Harley Bike Week a week before the Black Bike Week? I read a few years ago Myrtle Beach passed some draconian laws aimed at the Harley riders and they quit coming.
We were in Garden City a few years ago during Black Bike Week. Only noticed a couple of Black Bikers who drove that far south: as far as you can go on the Oceanside road.
That said, it seems like any event organized as “blacks doing something” goes bad. Black people go to all kinds of events with no problems, but if there’s an event that’s “specially black” (or “urban” or “hip-hop”), then violence ensues.
I wonder if that’s true of other ethnicities. I know there are problems with some Latino events, like “Puerto Rican Parade” in New York, but is that an exception or a rule?
Went to MB for the first time since I was a kid in summer of 2012. An unappealing combo of a touch of Spring Break, a sprinkle Urban (Black Bike week types), and a pinch of White Trash. I now see the billboards on I-95 claiming MB was somehow selected as best beach and I laugh.
Better yet, cancel the whole thing. I'm sure businesses thought this might have been a good idea, once, but it's clear it hasn't worked out that way. Unfortunately this has probably become an "entitlement" to too many, and some judge will think so too. So they're probably stuck with it.
Shouldn’t the Devontes of the world be boycotting South Carolina because of the Confederate flag on the capitol grounds?
