NAACP: Traffic loop is '23 miles of humiliation' (Black Bike Week)
WBTW ^ | 5/24/2018 | WBTW

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WBTW) - Leaders of the Myrtle Beach Branch NAACP held a press conference Thursday morning to express their expectations and what they’ll be monitoring during the Memorial Day weekend bike fest.

A federal judge decided Wednesday that the City of Myrtle Beach and the police department could implement the 23-mile traffic loop over the holiday weekend. Judge Marvin Quattlebaum stated that the NAACP had to prove that stopping the 23-mile loop would benefit the public interest for their request to be granted.

"The court finds that the public interest is more likely served if the plaintiff’s motion for injunctive relief is denied," the document says.

Police block off all other roads and the Motorcycles can only ride in a 23 mile loop.

They would not be humiliated if they didn’t beg for it, every day, day after day and on and on, for years on end.

If I were Black, I’d find that the NAACP humiliated and embarrassed the heck out of me.

While there, you might want to stop at Mighty Burgers as they are running a special on their wings and burgers combo.

20 wings in dry rub followed by a 8-oz burger with cheese and bacon with your choice of regular fries or sweet potato fries ($2 extra).

Checkerboard table covers and draft beer (ask waitress for beer list).

“Are locals or car drivers allowed to bypass the traffic loop?

No. All traffic will be funneled into the loop and will be one-way, southbound. Northbound lanes are reserved for emergency vehicles only.”

Everyone has to use it. Not use the black bikers

On May 24th, 2014, there was a triple homicide at a hotel in Myrtle Beach; this was during BBW (also known as the Atlantic Beach Bikefest).

One arrest was made in the case — almost 90 days later — of a suspected gang member. I can find no further information on his current status within the legal system; he may have been released.

The shootings happened at the Bermuda Sands hotel on Ocean Boulevard in Myrtle Beach, and the police investigation remains open to this day.

What if the bikers are trapped in the loop and can’t find their way off?

Maybe they can spend the time driving the loop thinking about why people don’t want large crowds of blacks hanging out in their cities.
