Will they shut down this event in New Mexico or increase the police presence? www.tmz.com/2023/05/28/red-river-new-mexico-shooting-motorcycle-rally-woman-running/
I just scrolled past this video & as I was still recognizing the words I haven't yet passed full or fully comprehended what was read I had to confirm the title cause I have strong core memories of the very different experience with going to Myrtle Beach for the weekend to discover it was the black bike week as well as the same mistake to be attending the white bike week as a young kid going with my parents and then continuing to be at a whole them weekend or weekend completely by accident by not checking out anything before the parents randomly took us & any other time that me or friends with the car decided to go spontaneously & having to go to the stores once we arrived damn near every single time I have ever been!!! s. Child I don't have any kind of judgement on the experiences outside of the having to be in with a sitter for the after sunset festivities however I have had a few.... I'm being generous to the past here for the sake of hindsight being young and the same memories thru adult eyes!!!****
However I do have a feeling that the reason for freaknik" is the best synopsis of the cancellation for the different experience at least from a young 20/mature looking Minor!!! I can say that these implications of the black customers being charged more than the white customers from my every summer experience in MB SC was not a specifically racial move but it was an attempt to get the bad apples who would be boycotting the price of admissions per se, but it's a little complicated cause the Bad Apples were ABSOLUTELY MANICS HYPING THE PHYSICAL DANGER & THE LOOSE CANNONS TO GET EXTRA WILD & THE WOMEN WERE IN DANGER MAN OR NOT BUT THE GROPING & THE WOMEN ASSAULTS THE FIGHTING CONSTANTLY ACTING OUT THE DRUNK & The same TOXIC
DEGENERATES OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLES EMBODYING THE SAME GROUPS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE THE SAME TYPES IN DEGENERATE in all of the different culture/race/the worst of the worst no . Matter what color would thrive so much just hyping the registration people who are not trashing rooms or robbing people at the ATM I but it's hard for them to be cool calm. & Collected by the way the last time a large group of people cost more money than the group brought it after cleaning the place & repairing the massive damage done to everything the eye can see,. & I
Remember that the one time I heard that the same people are responsible for it and banning people who have been already caught up or something was caught on film But it's still not reviewed yet.... .& THE UPROARIOUS Anger THE ENTIRE TIME mere solutions are being tossed out and the same ones demanding dignity order clothes be
Enforced are the same people in boycott going until it gets fixed fighting the entire time they were asking about what should we do?
I know several people who are taking advantage of the depravity reputation though as.. asif It's The purge which I have been unintentional witness to as
Well as the full intended snitch to be able to sleep at night but it's still
I
Full agree with that clothes/indecency rules for the people as a whole since I have witnessed a change over the years when a confident woman wore a whole entire dress or coverups to the beach and the thong to get tanner not to attract attention yet now I have witnessed too many people let it all go walking around the shore nothing hiding in front of a kids the family the elders and not be the least bit of
shamed to be the laughing stock wherever they go . cause of the same people who are bullying the people who are unable to gain weight from the body at . Any size dribble
Sorry I didn't mean to say that it's cancelled by the pushing it to be done is what surprised me with the video start but it's still not going to be easy to get a bad
Apple out to stay out without a hug pushback and the supporters are good to have to go harder for the downside to worth more than the upside
You really don't know what you're talking about. I lived there with my parents back in the 70s. That place is racist as hell. We're you living under a rock when Chris Rock was speaking about his hometown as a child. Conway SC is right next to the dirty water beach. Mrs. ROCK HAD TO VISIT A Animal Doctor to get her dam tooth pulled. Nobody would pull this woman tooth. I'm from the South, go live in the town of Myrtle Beach now, clearly it hasn't changed we were the only black family residing in Seagate Village, it's a nice community across the street from Myrtle Beach State Park. I nolonger vacation there now I cruise to the beautiful blue waters of the world😊
Three observations: 1. Stop forcing ourselves in spaces where our business is not desired/wanted/welcomed. 2. Obey the rules of the spaces we choose to visit and 3. Keep that same energy for the 10% (the knuckleheads)of us who purposely show up with ghetto intentions, her bent on wreaking havoc. We have to hold ourselves accountable and not just express outrage for the real or perceived racial sights. 🙄 I swear it's exhausting.
yes to that second rule! after narratoress did the quick recap im like going from giving your ppl money in atlantic city to forcing yourself into racist myrtle beach mammy kitchen confederate flag and all to no doubt spend money there🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
I would say real AND perceived racial sights... Other than that, totally agree.
🤔unfortunately there are studies that expose "bias". Two children, one white and one black engage in the "same" behavior and the teacher will describe the black child's behavior negatively. (This holds for black and white teachers). They want to penalize the black child and overlook the same behavior with the white child. University of California at Berkley....institute of othering and belonging...excellent resource to a deeper understanding of racism on many different levels.
So true
Could’ve said it better
I'm from Wilmington, NC and Black Bike week was like our Freaknik when I was a teenager in the 90's! I remember going with my family as a child, and it was just fun. But as time has passed, these folks have lost their minds! I love my people, but a lot of us don't know how to act! If we want acceptance, we gotta learn how to be respectful and responsible!
We got a spot in Wilmington and in MB and let me just say that we eat more Nikki’s than river city cafe these days. (Rockingham gal here btw) I will say that bbw was a staple in our lives but it turned into pure mess 🤦🏽♀️
Exactly! It's difficult to focus on the blatant disrespect of others when our own people degrade themselves to a degree that is unfathomable, yet they want acceptance and respect. 🤔 Smdh
Bike week now ain't got shit on how it is now lol...between my 1st freak nik and 1st bike week in 95 i was made a man😂😂😂
Acceptance??🤔
Acceptance??? This is our fucking land.
We can never come together without the ratchet and unraised element ruining everything. We should create these events in majority black cities and countries.
Unfortunately no matter the location other unsavory not favored groups will eventually destroy something that was once meant to be something good! Look at Miami Beach today the same thing is occurring there with an increase of crimes which has now turn the place into shithole!
And therein lies the issue. I love my people but I swear I will not go any event where there is anything more of a 70-30 ratio of white to black. You get too many of us together in an event like that, ratchetness, crime, guns and violence are to follow and I've been to Sturgis several times in the early 2000's when it wasn't even fashionable for US to be there, just sayin.
@@thetruth7354 Hey like you I do agree with your statement and unfortunately it has to be said because not all of us agree with this behavior and we too are looking to have a great time when we are paying money and taking time out of our busy schedule to be part of these events.
@@thetruth7354 i dont even go to a black church. I need diversity. And yes if theres more black people anywhere i question EVERYTHING. I will not move to Atlanta and I RAN from PG County/Maryland!
@@michaelangelo4147 I'm glad to hear from others that agree with me cause I've been called everything from an oreo to a coon uncle Tom but facts are facts. The whole reason freaknick got shut down is cause people were actin an ass after wird got out. I wish we could do better but unfortunately we are failing ourselves.
Holding ourselves accountable needs to be a thing.
Not ourselves, but the people who don't obey the rules
And you should add, have some damn respect, compassion, and empathyfor ourselves and other people.
It’s sad we go places and tear 💩 down. We don’t know how to act. I’ve never been and I’m glad.
Go where you are celebrated, not tolerated.
Of course we’re only tolerated when we go places and act tf up. Especially in inappropriate areas.!
So... It turned violent, unruly and scary. Big surprise. We cant keep blaming everyone else when freaknik and other events turned out the same.
The thing is it didnt TURN violent. Unless i heard wrong, Harley had more accidents than BBW. The city just decided to take action on BBW
@@THEDOORIZCLOSED Accidents and Acts of Violence are two different things.
@@jamesbecker3420 oh okay i thought it was incidents as well cuz the video was saying it like “the city didnt take action on Harley even tho they had more chaotic incidents…”
@@THEDOORIZCLOSED Since my parents have lived in MB 20+ years. I have seen both events a few times. IMHO the Harley bike week has mostly older riders and it has appeared more mellow at least in the last few years. The Black bike week seems to have more younger riders on sport bikes, they are more vocal, in your face and ride a bit more reckless. It is true many more businesses close for the Black bike week, but those attendees really brought that upon themselves...
@@jamesbecker3420 damn smh. Thanks for the info
Well, when large amounts of us gather together something bad almost always happen. Look at what those unruly, undisciplined teenagers did in Chicago weekend before last. Freaknik was shut down due to bad behavior. We must take accountability instead of turning a blind eye to bad behavior.
It’s not all of us but some people with certain mindsets. If these are people who have a low vibrational mindset, they will only act in their low vibrations. I’ve never heard anything happening at Essence fest at all
@@Frwill126 I know it’s not all of us. Im a black female who have two young adult children. My kids have NEVER behaved like that. They have always had a hands on father who did not allow that type of behavior. Most of those kids are fatherless. My husband and I grew up in single parent homes, back in the late 60’s and early 70’s, and our grandparents played a huge part in raising us. So I am not demonizing single parents, BUT these single parents today act worse than their kids.
@@Frwill126 that's because you have to PAY to get in. And they also check for guns and DRUGS!
I don't think you've been to a country concert because they mess some stuff up
I can't disagree. I stopped attending Black Bike Week because it's not the same chilled vibe anymore. It's a hot mess. Hate to say it but some ppl really don't know how to act. Or, how to give back economically to the host city.
I went to one (1999) and I was done with it after that. I would close my business until after it was over too. Nobody takes into consideration the rapes, robberies and assaults that happen. No one takes into account the fact that people have to clean all of that mess up once it is all said and done and everyone goes back home.
Right!!! Me and my cousin arrived, walked the strip to get food, and a man came up to her and grabbed her 🐱. Her boyfriend and the guys we were with were about to catch a body. No lie!
I've been to both and the white bike week was just a bad‼️
@@ThePonyaS It was probably worse! It's just not gonna be talked about, they've NEVER been peaceful loving people, we should all know that by now!!!
@@Listening4n0w exactly 💯🎯
@@Listening4n0w Exactly
My aunties used to just call it the "Bike Rally". I wonder what would've happened if it stayed in Atlantic beach and focused on supporting Black businesses...This video is appreciated!
I lived there for three years and Black Bike week was indeed ratchet. I went to the events and men were disrespectful trying to get women on their bikes. You would have to tell them no multiple times. There were people having sex in the parking lots in broad daylight. Girls everywhere half naked. I was a waitress at huddle house at the time and they were loud and fought in the restaurant. They didn’t tip. It was horrible. They really act like they don’t have sense that whole weekend. 😭😭
Half naked?? It's the mf beach ⛱️
@@divabevafeva girl I don’t need to see no nipples plain as day because they want to wear see through shot with no undergarments. Coming in restaurants like that with kids around. 🙄
@@divabevafeva 😭😭😭
@@Lakyla816 when I had young kids, I was aware of when and where I was bringing them. If I brought them to a restaurant in vegas, I would expect them to see something sultry, but I knew that going to vegas, therefore I would have no right to complain. So when talking about a biker event, you should have kept your kids away - I see this as bad parenting on your behalf.
@@Tom-in6fk Myrtle Beach is a tourist place so there’s a lot of people visiting you have the Myrtle beach Safari, house of blues and the boardwalk. So people bring their kids there for vacation. Myrtle Beach is not like Vegas. I don’t think people expect to see damn near naked people visiting and coming in restaurants showing their nipples. They wouldn’t just go to places near the event is what I am trying to tell you. They took over everywhere. A lot of people aren’t aware of black bike week. Therefore people should have some couth and dress appropriately.
I lived in Myrtle Beach but only went to Sports Bike Week AKA Black Bike Week once. I’ll NEVER go again even if someone paid me. One of the worst experiences of my life. We HATED when Memorial Day weekend came because we knew we couldn’t leave the house until after it was over. The streets and stores were filled with ignorant, ratchet, half-dressed people and the traffic was insane. I remember when a what should have been 5 minute drive to the store took me almost 2 hours. Never understood why our people made such a big fuss about going when they knew they weren’t welcomed.
Well ❤️🩹 we not wanted no where on this world 🌍 According to white people but still here not killing ourselves
criminals/ thugs not welcomed. is that what you are saying.
Oh well, things don’t change only the players.
@@tommas2674 Of course not who in their right mind would.
Get a bike next time. Peace
I went to bike week ONE time… and that was my LAST time. A hot mess… honestly, truly.
Lol
😭😭
What happened?
Bruh!
I had a ball 😂
As a North Carolinian, Black Bike Week has been huge for as long as I can remember but it has gone down the ratchet path over the last 10 years. I've never been but I have my brother's photos from the 90s lol It was giving Freaknik on the Beach!
you call it...RATCHET" but have "Never been" smh the nerve of YOU! hush if u don't KNOW!
@@markstaten9526 😭
Let’s just keep it real. There are two kinds of black people. These events are started by one type of black people and are taken over by another type of black people.
I love our people, but we need to do better. Some people just ruin it for everyone.
Yup! W.E.B DuBoise said it in his book "The Souls of Black Folks". He said that in the future, "nihilist" would ruin it for African American community. He saw it then, and saw it being the downfall for us in the future. And here we are. We used to use the word "ni**as" to differentiate from them. Whenever there was a party, we didn't want the "ni**as" showing up and ruining it. They always do. We are NOT the same. Watch the documentary, "The Contrdictions of Fairhope" narrated by Whoopi. A beautiful tradition turned into filth because of "them".
Bill Cosby also complained about the "other black people" aka the Black underclass in early 2000s and he got checked by other black folks. We need to do better, especially the black underclass..
@Cheenjoo Pearl, I'm going to watch it tonight. I'd never heard of it before..
This is the most true and accurate statement I’ve ever read. Even at the regular bike week the “white” bike week, there’s good whites and sorry ones too. It doesn’t matter what color you are, there’s good and trash in every single race.
Remember what Chris Rock said about the two types of blacks. I don’t need to post it here but I’m sure you can remember. And yes those have got to go.
It's funny (and sad) what the NAACP chooses to advocate for and the issues the organization ignores. 🤔😏
And we wonder what they did with the $50K judgement they received lol
@@rrg First thing that crossed my mind. 😂
First they need name 📛 change NAACP
and what did the naacp do with the winning moneys?
The NAACP is washed up and constantly looking for ways to find money for themselves, and will never address the bad behavior of some black people.
I’ve been a couple of times myself and never will I ever attend another weekend. People having sex in alleys, men being aggressive, younger adults coming to start fights and shootings. You can tell the difference between the white bike week and the black bike week.
What's wrong with people having sex in alleys? If you don't like it, then don't watch and STFU.
But this video said there was on 1 or 2 occasions when ppl were killed at black bike week, while ppl died every year at the white bike week.
Youre beautiful..
I am so glad to look on these comments and to see that so many people have come to the realization that a lot of times black people are the problem. Nine times out of ten when there's a large group of black people something bad/violent is going down. It's good not to see people making excuses for bad behavior. For those that are saying they should go somewhere where they are welcome and support black businesses. It does not matter where some black people go if something is going to jump off it's going to jump off. Any place any time. I would be scared to take a risk opening my establishment also. It's sad but true.
Too bad the problem creators will never see this
You are quickly becoming my favorite TH-cam channel - the research is appreciated!!
Thanks so much!
Mine too
@@rubysapphiremeraldiamonds Thank you baby! ❤
Research? Many slanted statements and facts left out. For starters after watching this one would think that a majority of businesses close that week which is just not true.
I'm from Myrtle Beach and also worked at the hotels and I agree that the Black Bikers were treated differently but to physical live there and see you would understand. The black bikers would leave Myrtle Beach in a hot mess. And I could write a book on how nasty they left the hotel rooms and how nasty and disrespectful they treated the staff. I'm not saying that all the black bikers were like that but the event as a whole is a hot mess. I'm not mad that certain business shut down when black bikers came.
I had a friend who had a store on the boardwalk near the gay dolphin gift shoppe, one year, I believe 2014, he was flash mobbed. Almost every shirt in the store was stolen. He wanted to shut down in 15, like other businesses. They were sued by the naacp citing racism. My friend put out display shirts only after that, nobody was able to steal anything
We do it to ourselves then get mad when we’re held accountable 🤷🏾♀️
What did we do to our self ⁉️
@@fatonyalmitchell3281 acting a damn fool and getting the event shut down. Did you not pay attention to the video???
@@markeyalee oh like white people who storm the capital.. the ignorant people are everywhere 🤣😭
@@markeyalee Right!
@@markeyalee FatTonya ain't got no sense.
Baby those shirts did it for me lol you wouldn’t have to worry about seeing me or my friends in your city anymore! 😂
💔💔
That "This shirt is made from 100% cotton and yo mama picked it" t-shirt was so dang disrespectful. 😩☠️
@@courtneypalmer53 yesss that was sooo disrespectful!! My mouth was on the floor readin that 😕😳
You used to pick the cotton to make them rich…now you are the cotton that makes them rich…think about it…makes perfect sense!!!
They should selll them every year then!😂 The black bikers have zero respect for the beach and its citizens, so why should we have respect for them? Don’t nobody want to see hundreds of trashy STD infested half naked women all over the place. This is a family area regardless of color. Black families, whites families, etc.. Bit bike week is simply trashy.
We as black people need to slow down with pointing out racism. We need to starting taking a good look at our own behavior when we get together especially in a white dominated society.
I agree with acting like you got some sense when you go somewhere that’s an individual character adjustment. BUT why do we need to adjust ourselves to appease white America? It doesn’t matter what we do or how we do it they will ALWAYS have an issue with it. What we need to do is understand that these things are rooted in their DNA and that some things will never change. At some point we need to come to reality with that. At some point they need to kind their own business and stop needing us and hating us at the same time. They only do what we allow.
This shirt is made of 100% cotton and yo momma picked it. That's not racist at all 👀
@@rrg Right! But let's ignore that because "we don't know how to act." 🙄
@@dsavoy25 not adjust but only behaving.
@@dsavoy25 I agree however if we can unite and fix our own problems, that racism crap will be less effective. We have yet to do that since slavery. Other groups are united, why cant we ?
It's imperative we stop patronizing businesses and/or areas where we are not welcomed. Hit 'em where it hurts; that gets the message across every time. RRG, we appreciate the deep dive ❤
And/or stop destroying places and blaming it on white people for not wanting you around.
@@mynotificationsareoff..goc358 Exactly smh
It's not a matter of you not being welcome as a race. Having lived in Dirty Myrtle for 15+ years I can tell you it's about the behavior of a percentage of those who attend BBW. Not to mention that week is not generally an economic bone for the area. Or at least not as big as it would be if the event was not held.
If you’re not welcomed there then they won’t care if you don’t patronize their business…they don’t want you there in the first place!!!
This is SO embarrassing. The whole world sees some of us behaving this way. Please stop!!!! All of us are not like this and we wish to retain our dignity in this country!!!
Im so sick of some of them..just proving people right the sterotype about is..sick of them
As a white man, we know all of yall arent like this.
@@archeng2764no y'all don't & most pink people don't care
That's just it. They aren't dignified and want everyone to be judged, labeled and held at the bottom.
So the white owner of the restaurant and said he's not racist because his daughter was engaged to a black man. That doesn't mean anything. People can be racist and prejudiced but tolerate people
Chyle my husband's mom is just as racist as she wanna be🤷🏽♀🤷🏽♀
I would be prejudice too if I was white tbh. Look how they was acting. That didn't happen when the white ppl was there. Yall need to stfu about racism and stop proving everybody right about the stereotypes then crying when you get judged smh.
*“I have BLACK FRIENDS!” -* 🤷🤷🏻♀️🤷🏼♂️
not fooling ME!
But, but, but I have a black friend 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
I’m a white guy who has lived in New Haven, Ct a long time. If you are riding on 2 wheels, I’m with you. “The Flaming Nights” was a pretty much respected mostly but not exclusively Black motorcycle club in this city. They were good citizens and though I didn’t ride with them, I would have!
That's wassup
I have never been to a Freaknik nor this event and thank God. I just don't understand why our people especially some of the brothers,who act like extremely hot wolves in heat. The best thing to do is to stay safe and sound away from bad people and bad rubbish. Great video.❤
BM are just problematic!
@@truthtorpedo4068 SO TRUE
@@truthtorpedo4068 Any men can be problematic with drugs and alcohol involved and provoked by loose women with little self respect or control.
If you've never been, then don't judge! I've been plenty of times & have had great times. Yes, with all things you have people that mess things up. You can meet good people & have a good safe fun time. It's about how you carry yourself, unfortunately there are plenty of people that choose to do ratchet things in public, but that is not the majority of the people. It's a lot of the people, but not the majority!! Oh, & never had a problem with the police!! The police were friendly if you were acting according, but I'm sure there some officers who acted up as well. I've also not attended because of some unfairness!
I can attest to this. One of my friends got locked up during black bike week. They arrested him because he stop walking on the sidewalk to find his friends, they got separated on the sidewalk due to the crowd. He spent 3 days in jail, he charge was for stopping the flow of traffic, what traffic it’s a sidewalk? He has never returned to Black Bike Week again. That was over 10 years ago.
"Break the law pay the price". MB cops are just as idiotic toward white people. Most of them are about 19 years old and don't have any real training.
Damn sounds like he has a horrible experience
There’s an obvious difference in how they treated the black and white backers. As black people we should set the standard by behaving ourselves. We are not trying to impress anyone but we should do it to show them that we know how to behave in large gatherings, which most of the time we do not.
I don’t care what white people do, we need/should be the standard!
They gonna trump up some ish to arrest black people for regardless, when 500,000 people of any color get together there is bound to be tomfoolery
how many of these WS rhetoric comments are you going to make with only a 2 year old account its giving troll
What will it take for blacks to understand that no matter how we "act" or "present" ourselves, whether you're a Trick Daddy or Barack type, certain groups of ppl don't want to see a large group of blacks gathered anywhere. 🤦🏾♀️
You messed up when you said, “we should do it to show them”…… you sound stupid
In my Cuntry voice, if they don't like blac, how come they wear blac shirts and ride blac motorcicles?😂 And another thang, violence is not the answer, it started in heaven and was taken by force. We aint went on no rampage since the DC sniper duo, Edom is losing its fake status and we can expect more racism in the latter days, but all the eggs aint white, some are brown, but they taste the same. My daddy used to say how can a brown cow eat green grass and give us white milk? Somebody said Aman.😂 Great assessment Michelle W.
Black people have this problem where we are very unserious about real ass shit we need to be more offended and vocal about it
They're too busy chastising their own people to address anything else. 😒

Then call out that behavior when you see it. It's not as much a race issue it's an issue of people not giving two shits about others.
@@jeffcmb1968 I did not say it was a race issue.. I said unfortunately this behavior gets labeled race even though it's a few individuals..
I live in Myrtle Beach. The problem isn’t the bikers. It’s the ones that; don’t have bikes and looks for trouble. I love to see the city come alive doing Memorial day weekend. Its unfortunate some people associate that day, of celebration as the worst time to visit. If I was one of the bikers I would still come, but i would stay in North Myrtle Beach.
I lived in North Myrtle Beach in the 2000s. I don't blame businesses for shutting down during Black Bike Week. Enough people refused to pay for food or gas and skipped out so that businesses LOST money (what's the point of having a business). There were tons of fights, murders, and that special kind of "harassment." I know it's loud and annoying during Harley Week, but there was not NEAR the crime, violence, and stealing (not paying restaurants).
My thoughts:
•some people in the comments are offended by just ONE part of the issue instead of including all the pieces
• Yes, the brought ratchetville to the event and probably brought a whole new kind of chaos that didnt sit wel with the city or the locals. This includes, for some reason, hypersexual activity
•at the same time, there were more accidents from Harley than Black Bike Week but the city did nothing. The fact that they took tougher action on BBW is a strong indication that the new policies were racially motivated but at the same time its NOT like black people helped to diffuse their reputation
•One of the issues that initiated this whole fiasco was black people segregating and creating a “league of their own.” They put a flagpole on top of a biker event and from there it was all ab domination and “this is about and FOR US.” We do this ALOT and shit always goes down whenever we do this. Not only did they ruin businesses and the welfare of other ppl but such domination and wildness does nothing but cause racial tension. Other people feel like they cant hang out with us so they will do any little thing to get rid of Black Bike Week bc its proven to be an unruly, exclusive, business-crushing, hypersexual event. I’d love to know more ab Harleys consequence(s) on the city tho
•i would NEVER attend a BBW event. Seeing the dance party made me feel nervous and thats sad. But it looked dangerous to me bc i know they’ll be jamming to aggressive music that contains the N and B words, somebody got some weed (and other things), another person got their glock somewhere concealed, and the ladies will be twerking, getting f^^^ked, or getting felt up on unwantedly. Future fatherless or neglected babies will be made. Not to mention gang activity and recruitments.
If its not a black tie Black event, trust me Im not there. And the really sad part is you cant tell our ppl sh^t when it comes to our behavior. Any form of correction is called “sounding white.” Im not even gonna bother with it no more
Bro I’m a Black Biker and wouldn’t touch that week with your hands. White people in this area built a haven for them selves and don’t have to share Harley Week had more accidents because they get drunk and ride which is dumb on their part however the bike community as a whole is community minded if some one is causing a disruption everyone steps in to diffuse the situations I step to a fellow black sister or brother about doing stuff that would cause a stain on the image of us getting together will be received negatively and turn into a problem that may turn violent because of ignorance and that is brother to brother so bottom line we do this to ourselves no accidents but lude loud obnoxious behavior ratchet disrespectful behavior nobody wants to be apart or associated with.

I’ve been going since I was a child. My Dad was a Member of the Newark Knights. I’ve never felt afraid of any of the Bikers or non Bikers. We didn’t eat at places whos staff or business didn’t look or cater to ✊🏾
💯🎯👏🏾
So you father had you going to bike week as a child wow it’s really not a family event…. Poor parenting skills
Ohhh I can’t wait. I’m from SC so I know RRG got all the tea. It used to be nice but then it turned into a mess!
*FREAKNIK JR.*
😂😂😂😂
This reminds me of how they treat Black folks during Memorial Day Weekend in Miami… us locals don’t even mess with Ocean Drive because we already KNOW. Very informative video, RRG! Ironic because I’ll be in Myrtle Beach in August!
I went to black bike week in 2005. I don't get on motorcycles, but I had a good time.
I don't get on motorcycles either. They scare me. But I love the riders especially the ladies. Bikers are so cool!

Okay but people always say "you can't take black people anywhere" and it is high key true 😩 you really can't. We're our biggest enemy. I would never say this to wyt person 😂 but I understand the differential treatment HERE! *insert black guy on the phone meme here* 🤣🤣
you need to realize who the people were you're aligning yourself with WS and it's not funny you sound uneducated
Why wouldn't you say that to a white person? You obviously know where a big part of the problem lies just like most white people understand that we are not well represented by the white supremist in our ranks.
They storm the capital so 😐
@@fatonyalmitchell3281 girl I said HERE 😭😂😂 we all know they have their fair share
I really enjoyed this video! I never knew all the details surrounding Black Bikers Week.. Thank you for sharing! ❤🥰
Thanks for watching!
As a black person it really upsets me that we continue to go where we’re mistreated instead of creating our own space where we’re accepted. If black folks stopped going to bike week I know the government there would start making an effort to get us back, they’d lose millions if we stopped going.
This right here! 👏 Always want to be involved with colonizers, it's embarrassing ASF! Always including them like they're going to like us. 😒
Same
I was just thinking the same thing.
Every black biker I know is boycotting Myrtle Beach and going to Daytona and Tampa, including myself. You are on point. Leave and let them beg us back.
Baby, spaces were created and they were either bombed, set on fire, or turned into a lake
I would have closed my shops up too and it wouldn't have taken too long to figure it out neither. ✊🏾.

The extra rules are needed because the City of Myrtle Beach doesn’t want out of control actions like those experienced during spring break in Florida. We always try to overlook the actions of the few that makes it hard for the majority.
Need to show the real videos of what goes on during black bike week. It gets real crazy, I live not far from it and went to a few my self. After a few homicides that took place there. They started calling it Murder Beach. Been to Harley Week and Black Bike week. It's like night and day.
I am from SC and Black Bike week was hell. My little cousin is now paralyzed from being shot at Bike Week
I live here in myrtle, and black bike week is just different. If you lived here, you'd know what i mean. Racism isn't an issue, the way they leave the businesses they patron, and the way they treat the communities is just different.
I had never even heard of this event 😟 Love me some RRG 🙌🏾
*"My daughter is married to a black man, so I can't be racist"* 💀

They always use that or I have a black friend. Whatever mother suckers. 🤦🏽♀️

@@ccleavemebe4790 Lord have mercy
I've been 8 times. TBH....we DO NOT act right.....some of us. I'm sorry, it's true. We get naked and some fight. The businesses went overboard, but it became the new Freaknik
You gotta hold people accountable for their actions. Especially when it comes to an event like that. You gotta understand. You're bringing the event to where people live and have families who are out and about. Imagine going out to eat with your family and kids. Who see someone half naked, smell of weed the music and language being uses. Not to mention the shootings, stealing of bikes and cars. Then when it's all over those people go home and the community has to be prepared to see another year like that.
Why are people still going there?
Who knows lol
Why not? 😄
@@lukewright9031 the video gave a slew of reasons

I love this channel! Quickly became a fave for daily 🫖 ! ❤
YOURE MY FAV RRG. I lived in Myrtle beach for 6 years. Excellent coverage!
Thanks so much and thanks for watching!
I'm from Raleigh NC and started riding motorcycles in the late 60's. I went to Myrtle Beach for bike week many times. I can understand why the residence of the area didn't want either one there. It's a shame that a few trouble makers give bikers a bad rap. I finally stopped going because of it.
It's as simple as this: If there's stuff going down, no matter the color, more law enforcement presence is to be expected. That's not being "racist," that's being prepared.
Exceptional historical context!!! Love how the video introduced, then concluded with, the original mission of the Carolina Knight Riders👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽💙! Thank you!
Quite classy and CLASSIC!
I'm from Louisville KY and they had to shutdown the Derby cruising in the Westend bc it got out of control in the early 2000s. It was a fun era before I turned 21. After that, I realized its time to get dressed up and go to the over priced parties lol now that I'm in my 40s....we just have bbqs and stay away from the crowds. Times have really changed
I’m from Louisville too. It started getting really bad. I seen a lot during those times. It was wild!!
I'm from KY too 😅
It only take a few to ruin it for everyone…I’ve seen and heard so many embarrassing, disrespectful, shameful…even criminal action in Myrtle Beach for BBW, it has brought tears to my eyes!
It’s down right hurtful, to see and hear, my own kind display such a lack understanding…and how the consequences of their actions, fall on us as a people!
When will we ever learn?!?!?
As a native of South Carolina, thank you for covering this! I never knew the history behind “Black Bike Week” and it even started! Listen…I NEVER attend this event and I wanted to but I always told that it wasn’t my crowd…which is so true! The stories I hear and what people be sharing…it be a hot ass mess y’all! Each year somebody is getting killed…each year! Smh! And that traffic…Memorial Day Weekend along with Bike Week…🥴…not only that the hotels at Myrtle Beach aren’t even up to par neither…they are old and run day and need major renovations too! I do not remember the last time I been to Myrtle Beach because I so over it! It’s not how it use to be at all and with “Black Bike Week” I hate to say it but when “we” come together “we” should already know what to expect! Just how that comment is pinned…I believe all that take place and then some!
so you never been but you heard stories but never researched and you cannot comprehend this video your WS is showing
@@terejosh13 🤔…nope never attended…never thought about researching the origin of “Black Bike Week” but thanks to social media, South Carolina news outlets , along with people I know shared their experiences with me who been and still go…so yeah…🤷🏽♂️
I lived at the beach 2010-15 bc I went to coastal… I went to 2010 bike week for the first time & honestly it was just like freak niq😭
Around 2012 they started having shootings on the strip , people were dying in hotels, so they implemented the infamous traffic loop 😣 I hated it .. especially living there .. major roads were blocked off.. traffic stayed backed up & they started putting up little wall things on the strip .. businesses HATED this because they started losing money due to the loop + more .. it literally changed 1000% after that time
* side note I was still outside 😂 😂😂
I hated it! I remember it took me almost 2 hours to get from UV to Walmart one time 😭
@@JerriM 😂😂😂 UV around the corner from Walmart , right on 501 so I hope you playing 😂🥹🥹😂
🏍I'm a Black rider and this is typical and NOT surprising. As a Black person you quickly come to understand that there are always 2 sets of rules when it comes to pretty much EVERYTHING! Things spoken and unspoken written and unwritten.
There are also appear two different sets of rules on what is considered acceptable behavior by attendees of the two rallies. Not all but enough that it causes issues.
@@jeffcmb1968 Rowdiness is Rowdiness. However through experience and observation it is clear that White people see obnoxious behavior by Black's far more revolting and destructive, than that of White's; even when that acts are identical.
I live in Myrtle Beach and have not had any bad experiences with anyone there during these events. I have been treated nice by my fellow motorcycle enthusiasts who come down for this bike week, but then again, I don't go out at night or to bars so I cannot speak for everyone and of course I have heard the bad stories too. So use some common sense, treat EVERYONE the way you wish to be treated and then everyone can learn to get along AGAIN in America. Be safe, courteous, respectful, and enjoy your lives! God Bless!
Im sure we ruined it for ourselves.
I stopped going to BBW after 2015 because of their shenanigans. I pivoted to Daytona and Panama City Beach Bike Weeks which have been very welcoming to bikers. The Holiday Inn in Panama City Beach actually towed 2 cars parked in the Bike parking area and had security walk the area all night as a theft deterrent. I was actually impressed and asked for a meeting with the hotel manager. He appreciated me taking the time to acknowledge his efforts.
I live in mb and the reason they tried to shut down so called black bike week was because of all the violence and crime that was happening the business owners asked the city to shut it down
Thank you for covering this story, RRG. The club promoters completely missed the point of what the bike club was trying to organize, and when the "money first" guys took over, the festival went left. Just like Freaknik. SMH
Yo RRG always does a fantastic job but yall got your CNN on with this piece... The growth of this channel has been nothing short of amazing... Dope Job bringing us the history and the break down of black bike week. ❤
Thanks for watching!
And then they wonder why people don't want them around. Always bringing chaos
We refuse to make our own rich but have no problem making those who hate us rich I don’t get it son.
It's not so much about hating people. It's more about hating the behavior of some of the group.
Not to mention Memeorial weekend would be much more profitable for businesses in that area if the rally didn't keep so many families from coming. My question is why aren't the troublemakers called out by the rest of the crowd and shamed into behaving?
I was think the same thang... ain't had no business going ova der
I went to bike week 3 years in a row from 2016-2019. I had fun each year and met some great people. Please understand this. Bikers are not the problem, traffic does suck and hotels are overpriced.
I only stopped going because of covid. I had fun each year I went and I took my son two of those years. I stayed on a golf resort Murrells Inlet and was home by 12am. My left hand goes numb sometimes from sitting in traffic.
Everything can be fun if you go for the right reasons. Also know your surroundings and be careful!!!
I heard about bike week but I always imagined it was for an older crowd. Not my scene due to the noise of the bike. I can’t imagine hearing all that revving all weekend long. It was nice to hear about the beginnings and that those who started it, maintain their distance from what it’s turned into.
I was down there 2 years ago and got ZERO sleep! About 30 people outside revving their engines and racing ALL NIGHT! No regard or respect for anyone else. I have no idea how they were able to get away with that all night!
I live in BC, Canada and as long as I can remember (I'm in my 40's), helmets are mandatory not just for motorcycles but peddle bicycles too. When I came to the states, I was shocked that people were allowed and willing to ride without them! Crazy dangerous!
Yeah some states are crazy but riders love the “freedom” of riding without a helmet 🙄
Right?!I had a friend tear her face off when a dog ran out in front of the bike and she wasn't wearing a helmet
@@tlingitgirl07 oh no 💔
Oh hhhhhh noooooo freedom keep ur laws in Canada
I don't get why as a people we keep going and spending money where we are clearly not wanted. We really need to rethink this entire thing. Harley Davidson did what any racist does they hid their hoods and collected the money. While we are trying to be accepted by a group of people who hate us because the color of our skin we need to take that hate and create our own. Maybe one day we will learn at least I hope.
💯 #BigFacts 🅿️ No cap🧢
🙌
not sure but im convinced black ppl feel COMPELLED to not build and give their money to others....feelings of whyte/otherness having more value or.....?
Tbh I think it’s because we don’t own anything. Anything we (black people) actually own, esp in SC, people barely supports so the business or idea gets shut down after a few months. Most people relocate. I notice black ppl prefer to be where they aren’t wanted because it makes it that much more desirable…it’s like the rebellious kid that wants all the attention. This is my opinion and what I’ve analyze about our own. For example, certain clubs in Florida literally doesn’t want dark skinned people, instead of going someplace else or creating our own--we start fighting to be accepted. I was always told never go where you aren’t invited, looks like some blacks didn’t get that memo.
We keep begging people to take our money who don't want to be bothered with us..but do not want to build up our own communties...with the dollars we spend we should have black wall streets in every state
STOP GOING THERE!!! Why beg people who hate you?!!! Go to Longs and show respect instead of spending money to be treated like dogs
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I used to go to both and had fun at both. Just like anything else this young generation brought the worst of everything to what used to be a great event. We have to stop blaming everyone else for our bad behaviors.
@RRG is the Channel 👏 of 👏Channels! Thank you for this well articulated segment. As the comments show…it is so imperative for us a community…to find a balance between (1) supporting “us” (2) not worry about the acceptance and approval of “the others”, (3) holding the wild card’s accountable and if they don’t get it together they can’t come. Black culture is a beautiful, prosperous and resilient culture. Striving to make the good outweigh the bad should be the focus…but don’t mind me I just be thinking out loud sometimes 😆
U didn't tell a single lie.
Thanks so much for watching!

I will never understand why people keep spending money where they are not wanted! You work hard to earn so why waste it by giving it to people that don't like you. Wisdom from God is the critical thing

How do people truly behave during each?
My son (black) use to work in Restaurants, and said that his black customers tended to skip paying their bills, and tended to not “tip”.
He said large groups of blacks would come in, and then would leave suddenly without paying their bills.
Thank You For Sharing This Story. I Enjoyed This Educational Piece. Good To Know.
It’s not a racial thing it’s a behavioral thing. If everybody behaves everybody will be treated right. I’ve seen the result of black bike week in Biloxi and there was trash left everywhere.
Another Wilmington NC native… A few years back I went to my first bike week and it was a amazing experience… I couldn’t wait to go back… The next year they put all those borders and traffic lanes… traffic was backed up and it was a nightmare… They totally did what they designed it to do.. Make people not come back . I know I didn’t
💔💔💔
We stayed at The Strand hotel, down the street from Mammy's Kitchen and even though i was offended, the black people said they have good food and it be lines all the way down the street sometimes. I said "yall eat in there?" To a hotel worker. She said yeah, they got good food. I said "mmmmm🙄"
What I'm hearing is, these measures are warranted.
I’ve been to BBW 3 times. I’ve refused to return for the past 5 yrs because of the level of ratchetness I’ve witnessed. Daytona Bike Week is now getting to be the same, & I haven’t been to the past 3. I prefer to go where people, regardless of race; act like they have a dose of common sense.
Who wants to go to those nasty hotels and dirty beach water at Myrtle Beach anyway? An article just came out about it being the nastiest beach in the country 🤷🏾♀️
Harley is called a freedom machine for a reason. Harley as a company and as an idea was never inherently racist. A rebel flag was never inherently racist either. Modern victimhood mentality ruins everything.
I wouldn’t keep going if I wasn’t welcomed. They discriminate against us bc our people still go where they aren’t wanted.
Gotta think about it - where can we go? No city really wants to welcome a bunch of black people, not even Atlanta.
I was born in Myrtle Beach in 1984. I've lived here for 39 years. If people who don't live here would come here for both weeks to compare the "festivities", you'd see a difference. And to be fair to the Atlantic Bike Week Bikers, it's not the motorcyclists that cause the problems. I actually enjoy talking with them and checking out their bikes. The morons who follow them in their cars, block traffic, and don't allow emergency vehicles to get to injured parties (and trust me, with all the alcohol and drug use those weeks, there are a lot!) who I have a serious problem with. Besides, the bikers are usually really good at policing their own groups. If one of them get out of line, their friends will reel them in.
The reason some businesses choose to close is due to the amount of "dine & dashers" during Black Bike Week that has, historically, been higher than the rest of the year. Then, when the owners of the businesses confronted the thieves, they were accused of being racist. So... they're racist if they open, and they're racist if they stayed closed. Better to be called racist from afar than up close, I guess.
As a native of the Grand Strand, I would welcome the Knight Riders, and their creed, back to Myrtle Beach with open arms.
As an aside, though, it must be stated that the entire "town" of Atlantic Beach, SC is literally 2 city blocks that is completely surrounded by the city of North Myrtle Beach (yes... it's a different city. Not to be confused with the North end of the city of Myrtle Beach. 2 cities with really close names.) There is no way that Atlantic Beach could ever host what we now average to be around 315,000 people during Memorial Day Weekend. So, the city of Myrtle Beach is expected to be the next door neighbor who opens their home for a party they didn't throw. I can understand why the residents of Myrtle Beach get frustrated. It's grown way bigger than I think the Knight Riders ever thought it would become, for better or for worse.
Also also... I'd like to thank Leroy for helping to pump drugs into my hometown. Thanks, DICK. He has no sympathy from me. But then again, I guess he is a perfect parallel as to what Black Bike Week has become. Started out wholesome but deteriorated into a drug-infested, rip off of its original self... Just like Leroy.
They treated the black bike riders in Galveston Texas as criminals also
You get different clubs and no issues.
Black bike week....well, you have you answer
