Over 30 years counts as 'over 10 years'!

You get my point- it's a known event, I heard of it long ago.

Your credibility has been downgraded to 'negligible'.
Get my point?

If we are all using the abbreviation BBW here, then I encourage you to visit Google Images http://images.google.com/, digital depository of cats and other stuff.

I'd love to have an Indian bike week somewhere...though it'd probably be like a goddamn bollywood movie.

Huh? Actually I don't.

Dude you are missing Mik and Bunmanchi points.

As a white black person I disagree with you

I have an idea for an event

WHITE's ONLY BIKE NIGHT WITH A GHOST THEME since it is Hallowen

I totally get the point white people are feeling excluded just like black people do everyday.

Huh? Actually I don't.

Maybe this will help:
"There's been water in the Atlantic for over 6 months." i.e. I know everything.

You berate inreb for his sense of humour, and lack of knowledge, yet you just throw out / guess at numbers.
Get my point?

The City of Myrtle Beach tried to cancel both bike weeks a few years back. The site was temporarily moved. It's now back in Myrtle Beach.

its not about white people feeling excluded.. you just dont understand the point that white people are trying to make..

\white peaople are saying," lets all hang out togther."

the black people that organize these events, ( and anything else black oriented ) obviously dont.

odd, isnt it ?

I'd watch it. Rival gangs, the stand-off, the pretty girl, then the synchronized dance-off competition. Pretty girl must choose!

$10 says the people defending "black bike week" are black.

So if I said "as far as I know, it has been going on for over 10 years", would that have made a difference?
I apologize for not Googling the specifics before I spoke from personal knowledge.

I wasn't berating anyone for his lack of knowledge; the whole purpose of these discussions is to learn. Read carefully; I was berating him for the comment he made about "if anyone is in the know, it's me".

Basic math - over 10 years = over 30 years. And I didn't have to Google that.

I'll always have a soft spot for this guy, imperfect as he was, after his heartfelt plea....

Nope im pretty much as white as can be. Will defend 'Black bike week" all day long. you can post me that $10 if you want or may a contribution to a charity of my choice.

are you friggin kidding me ??? really ??? LOL


time for a mini-rant.

so now black people have their own bike week ? and here i thought bikers were bikers, and race/sex didnt really matter. you see everyone at Dover,from HA to thong man.

how can the people who put on this event even get away with the reverse discrimination ?
,
i just dont get some of this stuff. there are minority laws in place, there affirmative action hiring going on, theres the NAACP, BET..

you name it, they have it...

as an average white guy, everytime i hear of this crap, it gets me annoyed. why do they feel the need to segregate themselves when segregation was the very thing they wanted stopped ?

what the hell would Dr King. think about how todays 'AFRICAN AMERICANS " see themselves,or how they act. I dont think he'd be happy.

His dream was that one day, his children would live in a nation where they would not be judged by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their Character.

he wanted equality, but even a thing like the NAACP doesnt. just look at their name... lol the National association for the advancement of coloured people.

whats wrong with calling black people black ? i know lots of black people. none of which are from africa. ( ive asked them, lol )

so what happens if you see black people at dover next year ? tell them to **** off, and head to their own meet ? .

its the people that think up the Black week stuff that are the racists.. cool bikes are cool bikes.. doesnt matter who's riding it.


rant over.

You do make a very good point...

 

[kruzuki]

Sorry, I phrased it wrong. Although it's debatably correct, but let's not go there!

Over 10 years could = over 30 years

The general idea is simply around the concept of white priviledge. Basically if you are born white, and male and especially male you apparently are automatically deemed to have certain rights or piviledges that not all races receive.... good luck resolving this here.

info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_privilege

I had a socialogy course recently where we read the following and had to write a paper on the article:
White Priviledge, Unpacking the Invisible Backpack: http://www.isr.umich.edu/home/diversity/resources/white-privilege.pdf

enjoy that reading :cheers:

Why would I read a document about white privileges wrote in 1989

Budd, you really need to think through your answers

Paper, 189 (Wellesley, Mass.: Wellesley College Center for Research on Women, 1989; better known in excerpted form as Peggy McIntosh, 'White privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack', Peace and Freedom (July/August 1989), 9-10; repr. in Independent School, 49 (1990), 31–35.
