“Note that article no where notes that the event was taken over by black bikers.”

Actually a separate event. You have ‘Bike Week’, and then ‘Black Bike Week’.

Ya know, I still see this woman as quietly becoming presidential material. We’ll see how soon the knives come out for her.

It’s overdue but even conservative fave Haley tiptoes around the real issue.

The mayor is overwhelmed with relief at passing the buck. Now he can get back to the important business of banning beach tents in a city where the beach is the primary draw. Next week’s agenda: blotting out the sun.


What I'm hearing is that this particular Bikefest is a racial gathering. There are other biker gatherings at the beach that are not.

It's a cultural divide. A chance encounter of the roaders and the stay-at-home-except-one-yearly-vacation-at-the-beachers.

Or sorta something like that maybe.

There must be all kinda outrage over that by the left. You know... separate but equal. But clearly, that doesn't work... as there is a culture difference and one culture simply "Can't have nice things". I expect an integrated bike week as a result and then all the crime and murder and rape can be pinned on whitey.

“Pretty much every video I’ve seen of black bike week is NSFW. These people are acting like hoodlums.”

These “people” ARE hoodlums.

I ride and none of the events that I attend turn out like this one. The 2MBTDC ride was the same weekend as Myrtle Beach. Check out the violence and mayhem there. ZERO

Sorry to hear. I used to crew for an EBC endurance bike, Team Magic. I went to Daytona four times starting about twenty years ago. Didn't get much time away from the track but enjoyed what I did see.

"Ya know, I still see this woman as quietly becoming presidential material. We’ll see how soon the knives come out for her."

Haley has had on going skirmishes with the GOP dominated State Legislature. I am sure the SC GOPe has a real or imagined dossier ready to go against Nicki if her ambitions grow to large.

As to Myrtle Beach, even if the bike weeks did not exist, it has become a resort area that is really not appealing to social conservatives or families. I guess moral decay is everywhere, even in the South.

Some of the more appealing beach areas used to manage their clientele by high-pricing. Not working anymore.

The above is predicated upon white bikers allowing blacks to rob, beat, rape and kill them.

Questionable, very questionable.

City council in MB held a meeting this past Tuesday, and the locals turned out in force. In this video of the meeting,(47 minutes) the residents told what really happened. Disgusting. http://www.wmbfnews.com/category/240215/video-landing-page?clipId=10205569&autostart=true

That’s why they may have to shut both bike weeks down, to avoid accusations of racism.

That is true. But if you study it, you'll find that mostly the skirmishes have to do with her being more conservative than the legislature.

” I expect an integrated bike week as a result and then all the crime and murder and rape can be pinned on whitey. “

For those who are not aware, one week there is bike week. It is integrated and all are welcome. There is very little trouble and merchants make lots of money. The bikers are primarily middle-aged, mostly white, mostly middle class and well behaved.

The following weekend (Friday-Monday Memorial Day) is black bike week. It’s a mess. Crime is rampant. Businesses are trashed. This year there were multiple murders. Myrtle Beach banned bike weeks, so the official event is one beach over now, but all of the bikers go to Myrtle Beach anyway. The bikers are mostly under 30, almost all are black or Hispanic. There is a large contingent of 18-22 year old males who do not necessarily own a motorcycle. They rent mopeds and ride up and down the strip.

join the civilized world.

Actually isn't it more like "re-join" the civilized world?

There was a time when the majority of blacks in this country had intact families, were self-supporting and crime free.
