Here they are behaving themselves at Sturgis just last year. The cops just showed up because they wanted an excuse to look at the girls.

I don't know why that town invites that kind of trouble every year. If it were me, I would ban motorcyles from the city limits. I don't know how they can hope to maintain peace and order with 4 or 5 cops against hundreds of drunk biker gangsters.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$

Being a violent fool while spending millions of dollars is ok....well, if you're middle aged and white. LMAO

Laughlin should've put the kabosh on their bike week after the mayhem of '02 because that was absolutely terrible. But hey...they can't turn down the dough and the full occupancy at those casinos.

As an aside, before i bought my own jet ski's, i used to rent in Laughlin. Well the next year after bike week, they had a black college gathering there and a few blacks tore up the jet ski's they rented because of alcohol and tomfoolery...no violence. Guess what? The jet ski rental didn't want to rent me some jet ski's because of that incident. But of course, i had to prod the guy as to why, and he spilled the beans thinking that i was part of some "black group" when i was just wanting to hang out with my family. He relented and rented, but it kinda p*ssed me off after all the crap the bikers did, and yet they get invited back with open arms although the potential for violence is much worse with them....as this vid will illustrate:



So that's how it goes.

I have been to bars and clubs but I mainly go to places where they play top 40 stuff and there is a mixed ethnic crowd. I would never even think about asking a black lady to dance with me in front of an all black bar. I know better. But in a top 40 mixed bar, I have danced with black and latino women and nobody had a problem with it.

They just take it because Vegas doesn't want it there!

Yea, i wouldn't do that if i were you either. Hell, if i was white, i probably wouldn't be caught dead in an all black bar. As it is, i would NEVER go into an all white bar either. Well, i take that back....it depends on where it is. In Detroit...no way....too dangerous. But out here in Arizona, i'd have less trepidation although i wouldn't be comfortable.

Oh, racism is alive and well - just look at how that white kid was set on fire by some black kids for being white.

I'll give you the different angles on this and let you guys figure it out.

First, it certainly appears that it is a violation of civil rights. I'm assuming that the establishment is public and not a private club of some kind. So there you go, you've got that.

Second, as I have complained about various "anti-black" threads that portray a crime perpetrated by a black person; this is an isolated incident. As of today, in the year 2012, this is not some overall public trend being advanced by white folks. It is some idiot proprietor acting in a racist manner. So just like a thread about a black guy mugging someone, this thread too does not deserve C-D threadom.

Third, and I might as well throw this in... there are schools paid for by taxpayers that in essence segregate. They are called Afrocentric schools. So though this establishment featured in the video is seemingly violating the law, various forms of similar racism, i.e, segregation, are there for people to see if one wants to look. If you want to end this stuff, start looking everywhere because all of it has to go.
