Easy there Spike... The reporter herself is white.

Black folks are pretty cool As long as you're cool yourself and don't act the fool you could hang.

Of course some got drunk and things got a little crazy

I only went that one time. I wanted to go again but my friends kept bailing on me when I tried to organize another trip.

Easy there Spike... First of all its not new it's been going on forever. BBW is just the nickname for the event. As the video showed the event first started back in 1980 called the Memorial Day Bike Fest. Its not just for blacks anyone can attend. Its a celebration of all bikes and riders. The reporter herself is white.

Black folks are pretty cool and welcome everyone no matter what color or race. As long as you're cool yourself and don't act the fool you could hang. Back in 1998 I went to a rally and it was amazing. I met white riders and asian riders at that event. Bikes for days, 1000's of bikes there and 1000's a biig ***'s.lol.... It's all good though

Thanks for setting the record straight
 
Jokes aside about thug life chimps and really poor third worlders, there really were legit black bikers once.

This link with photos is a history of the Chosen Few club that started in 1959. It had a lot of black folks in it. This is way before any of the stuff you see today which is a manufactured look.

Same with gay pride. There is a pattern here that's pretty obvious; all these groups are discriminated against. In the past it was official discrimination, now it's more random and uncommon. But the history still carries a lot of influence in present culture. You don't have to like it, but it's human nature. We are defined in large part by our histories.
To have a white history month, or men's day, or straight pride parade, would be like gloating. It's not like whites, or men, or straight people are in any way defined by some kind of past injustice.
Having said that, I don't think these special events are beneficial to these groups in the long wrong. They're identifying themselves with oppression in perpetuity. We will know when women achieve equality when we have a men's day, and nobody is offended. But I can't see that ever happening as long as they identify themselves with oppression (as real or imagined as it may be).
