Stuff Black People Don’t Like

October 9, 2014

Anything deemed “racist” or discriminatory to black people will never, ever be allowed to occur in Black-Run America (BRA).

Stoping ebola?

Racist (and discriminatory, since the disease originated in Africa… which you aren’t supposed to notice or else you are racist!!).

Daring to put an end to event that caters exclusively to a black clientele isn’t tolerated in America (consult the annual Indiana Black Expo in Indianapolis), for such an action would completely isolate the city that dared deny blacks true freedom in the “Birmingham 1963” category.

Which is why this story is seemingly so strange, unless you understand the back story (which we’ll get to). [Myrtle Beach raising taxes for Bikefest security, WISTV.com, 10-5-14]:

An annual Memorial Day motorcycle festival is pushing Myrtle Beach officials to raise property taxes by the biggest margin in nearly 20 years. The Sun News reports City residents will pay an extra $40 more on a $200,000 home to hire more police officers and apply other security measures to get control of holiday crowds attending Bikefest. The motorcycle rally is based 13 miles north in Atlantic Beach but the crowds add to the Memorial Day tourists that spread across South Carolina’s Grand Strand. A rash of violence during this year’s event left three dead. The property tax increase is the largest for Myrtle Beach residents since 1995. Property values in the city dropped about 5 percent on average after a reassessment this year.

Bikefest?

What’s “Bikefest”?

Oh… “Black Bike Week.” From Wikipedia, a colorful history of Black Bike Week in Myrtle Beach emerges:

And who can forget the events of the 2014 edition of Black Bike Week in Myrtle Beach? [Haley calls for end of black biker weekend, WCNC.com, 6-8-14]:

After a bloody Memorial Day weekend left three dead and seven wounded, Gov. Nikki Haley wants to end the annual Atlantic Beach Bikefest which has drawn black bikers for decades to the tiny beachside community near Myrtle Beach. But Mayor Jake Evans has no plans to end the event in a community that, during the days of segregation, was one of the only places on the South Carolina coast where blacks were welcome. The Bikefest attracts thousands to Atlantic Beach – a town of less than a square mile, three oceanfront blocks and about 350 residents – as well as to surrounding areas along the strip of coast known as the Grand Strand. Evans says there haven’t been problems in his town but he is willing to discuss the need for more law enforcement in other areas during the weekend. Police say the Memorial Day weekend slaying of three people in Myrtle Beach motel 14 miles away seems to be gang-related. A look at the controversy: As the governor sees it – Eight shootings happened during this weekend. Three people died. That is not OK for South Carolina, Haley told reporters. This Bikefest does not represent the people of this state. It does not represent what we are trying to do when we promote tourism and jobs. Haley plans to talk to Evans about ending Bikefest.
