Well, I’m going to be called a racist for this one, but here it goes: What the heck is up with the hip hop crowd trashing South Beach year after year on Memorial Day? Is this how your crew celebrates the hard-won freedoms our nation’s heroes gave their lives for—by annually ransacking South Florida and shooting at cops?
It’s gotten so bad down on South Beach while the Urban Beach Weekers are in town that South Floridians, of all races, remind each other not to go south past Surfside until the “Urban Beach Week” is over because it is one god-awful hell zone.
I know if I owned property and/or lived on SoBe I would be raising utter Cain with my city officials for allowing this kind of madness in my neighborhood on a yearly basis. I have several friends who live between 5th and 64th & Collins, and they get the hell out of Dodge each year when this invasive group blows into town. More than a few of my friends put up their hurricane shutters before leaving their homes in anticipation of the carnage this week historically brings.
That, my friends, is a problem when you have to leave your digs, board up your property and hide your vehicles because a particular crowd is coming to town that necessitates such precautions. What’s up with that? That’s BS no matter how you slice it.
And if you think I’m alone in loathing that which this pillaging element regularly unleashes on our beautiful city, you’re nuts. Gay activist Herb Sosa especially despises it. The vast majority of people who give a damn about Dade County and our gorgeous beaches hate Urban Beach Week. Yep, I said it. They hate it … especially those who live in the condos and mansions along South Beach.
Why do they detest UBW? Well, it’s because of things like the insane 24-hour noise, the tons of trash on the streets and beaches, the increase in security that is reminiscent of Fallujah in 2004, and the radical spike in crime and arrests (including the ubiquitous vandalism of cars and homes).
This past weekend the Urban Beach people hit their nadir: They turned South Beach, America’s Riviera, into a war zone. Collins Avenue on Memorial Day was indeed memorable but in a tawdry, satanic sense as the Urban Beach Weekers made our Cosmopolitan playground look more like Cairo, complete with attempted cop killing. Yes, during this year’s festivities the Urban Beach Weekers trashed the historic Art Deco streets, screamed, yelled and blasted music 24/7, and then, of course, there’s the attempted murder of our local police. Yep, one of the “tourists” tried to run over several cops with his vehicle and then shot at them, at which point a gunfight ensued between one of these winners and Miami’s cops that made anything John Yoo has produced look lame.
Call me a racist, a gringo, honkey, cracker, or whatever. But at the end of the day if Edgar and Johnny Winter, the von Trapps or the lost white tribe from Whiteyville (that listens to Pat Boone and only Pat Boone) came to my city year after year and screwed it up, as much as I love my Caucasian brethren, I would do everything in my power to bounce them away from my house. As in, for good.
Racist! (I didn’t want you to have to wait too long for that comment to be made, so I figured to get it in early.)
Y.U.T.’s..... Young urban thugs...
The Amish invasion
Holder’s people, again.
But the Museum of Tolerance says it’s ok, so you must be a racist.
If it can be proven that UBW is anti-gay, it will be dispensed with like there is no tomorrow.
My wife and I accidentally upon this “event” one year. We lived in the Lauderdale area at the time.
It was nothing less than a nightmare; a giant flash-mob of indecent gang-bangers and hip hoppers trashing the place. Business owners (most of whom just close their doors) and unsuspecting tourists exist in fear of their lives.
Screw the poverty pimps and lefty’s charges of racism - this is nothing but a thugfest that needs to be shut down by any means necessary.
I have said it before and I will say it again.
Uncivilized people acting uncivilized.
Obama’s militia, they terrorize the streets, then the normal people go home turn on the TV expecting their “leaders” to address this problem. But when they turn on the tv all they hear is that their leaders are calling the normal people “racist.” It is an old script people, it is how you are controlled terror from below and above. And you ain’t seen nothin yet.
Sounds alot like freaknik in Atlanta used to be.
The crowd that gathers in New Orleans each year for the Bayou Classic (Grambling vs. Southern University) is only marginally better behaved. The event is always touted as an important tourist draw, but the truth is that the hotels barely break even - despite room rates that are the highest of the year. Such is the extent of the property damage that is usually inflicted.
Urban whatever will end when the concept of responsiblity is heaped upon what ever stupid leftist ever dreamt it up. “Resonsibility” is a cross to the vampire squids of the Left. Start naming names.

South Beach isn’t exactly the greatest place in the world the other 51 weeks of the year. Every time I go south of the Dade/Broward line I treat it like the old maps that say HERE BE MONSTERS. If you’re downwind you can smell the Axe Body Spray and shame thick in the air.
It used to be old Florida in some places down there, but we watched the corruption creep up from the South for over 20 years until it hit Boca. By then we decided SoFlo just wasn't the place to raise the kids and got the heck out of dodge.
The NAACP is trying to sue such owners for racial discrimination.
It's a good week not to vacation in Myrtle Beach, as my wife and I discovered to our great sorrow on our 25th anniversary. Even many restaurants and businesses close down during that week as they are sick and tired of being ripped off and vandalized by mobs of unruly and rude blacks. And these are the more well to do blacks with plenty of money to buy flashy rice-rockets and rent expensive hotel rooms!
Blacks have developed an in-your-face entitlement culture that is way out of step with common decency, courtesy, and American values. As a group, they have become a blot on America and like to stick it to Whitey when they can get away with it - which is most of the time. If decent people somehow oppose it or even remark on it, they are branded "racist".
It isn't racist to observe and comment on this identifiable group for their widespread thuggish and boorish behavior. It is just stating the facts which everyone knows but many fear to admit because of Political Correctness.
