Just don't stomp their flag.

advertised as Black Bike Week.
That’s RACIST!
Wheels of Soul?
This year the NAACP, under “Operation Bike Week Justice” is suing businesses in Myrtle Beach for being closed during Memorial Day weekend.
They involve the Justice Department and the Justice Department forces arbitration, which results in monetary settlements without the more formal court proceedings.
Meanwhile the violence gets worse. This year there were 3 murders in one incident of mayhem, exceeding the annual murder rate for Myrtle Beach.
“The NAACP vows litigation vengeance if the Myrtle Beach Mayor tries to stop the violence or cancel future events.”
If it said “Black Biker Week” then yes, but black bikes are generally assumed to be Harley’s?
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?
Just don't stomp their flag.
There’s a family in my subdivision that flies a Puerto Rico flag. Since I have a Texas flag, I can’t object ;-).
Hmm, not in the story. PC rides again.
NOW it’s clear why there are no pictures of perpetrators or victims in the posted article.
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.
When I lived in Sacramento there was speciality ethnic/race days at the California State Fair. Every time Black day rolled around there would be news stories about shootings, stabbings, and mayhem. The people who run the Fair finally wised up and got rid of those days.

Like I said, black people can come to a church picnic or a Scout campout or a neighborhood carnival or a Memorial Day parade, and they act like everyone else. However, a “Black event” seems to bring out the people who want to act like hoodlums, while decent people stay home.
SC ping.
We go to Garden City, south of Myrtle Beach, every few years, because my mother-in-law lives there. It’s quiet there, but if you go too far south, the beach is eroding badly. We were there last year in early June, which was rainy.
This year we’re going to Surf City, on Topsail Island in North Carolina.
Thanks I wish the city had some backbone and stand up to the NAACP.
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.
Freepmail me if you want on the SC ping list.
They can't. They can't stop people of a particular race from coming to a particular place on particular dates.
They can enforce nuisance-abatement laws - public drunkenness, nudity, noise, no-turn-signal, and so on. Occupancy guidelines for lodging could be enforced. Businesses should be allowed to close at will.
Apart from that, one runs afoul of free speech and free association rights. I think a motel should be allowed to say, "I won't rent to a black person during this time period," but that's not within the current understanding of civil rights.
