Euphemism alert!
American Thinker ^ | May 26, 2013 | Thomas Lifson

Maybe Eric Holder wasn't wrong when he called us a nation of cowards when it comes to discussing race. Certainly, that is evident in coverage of an annual gathering of young blacks in Miami Beach, called "Urban Beach Week." It is necessary for journalists writing about race to deploy euphemisms to avoid stating the plain truth, writing in code, so as to avoid being accused of racism (by people who find themselves generally in agreement with Eric Holder).

Extraordinary how great masses of the Amish almost always manage to do this kind of thing while hordes of non-Amish bikers arrving in the small town of Sturgis, SD have great fun getting drunk, pump up the local economy, and are happily welcomed back year after year.

Amazing, isn’t it?

This reminds me of reports of the clean up of the National Mall, after the Glenn Beck rally, and after Obama’s 1st inauguration.

The reports after Glenn Beck’s rally were that there was very little litter and trash left over. People cleaned up after themselves.

The reports after Obama’s inaugural were that tons of trash were left behind by Obama’s supporters.

It’s not a racial issue as such, as Obama’s supporters come in all colors. But, it seems that the liberals are more prone to mess up a place.

I’ve heard similar stories of other events in big cities, in which tons of trash are left behind. And other stories of events such as Promise Keepers rallies or religious events in stadiums, in which the attendees tend to leave the placer cleaner than they found it.

A major difference between Miami “URBAN BEACH WEEK” and Sturgis “BIKE WEEK”is;
The crowd in Miami are mostly young hoodlums and thugs out to raise hell.
VS
The crowd in Sturgis are mostly middle aged, upper middle class bikers trying to recapture their youth and acting tough. Key word is “acting”.

There is an old adage that one does not defecate where one eats; to which the feral followers of the Obamanation reply, “Yes, We Can”.

I always get a kick out of looking at "gangs" of Harley riders and comparing them to the "Sons of Anarchy." The average age of the Harley "gangsters" has to be somewhere over 55 while the fictional "Sons" are mostly in their 30s. Those big Harleys and Gold Wings do cost a wee tad.

Conservatives tend to be considerate of others, because we work together, Liberals think others exist to serve them, because they are not team players, and a very high percentage are cheats on welfare of one sort or another.
