Black Beach/White Beach (2018)

Excellent dissection of the disparities in the treatment of African-American bikers vs white bikers in Myrtle Beach for the respective groups' bike celebrations. Even some of the whites interviewed admitted there was racism involved with everything from arrests for minor offenses to restaurants closing interiors to force the African-American bikers to eat outside during Black Bike Week. One African-American biker said they were treated with more respect when they attended bike events in Daytona Beach, Florida. As Dr. Umar Johnson said, spend the money where you are appreciated and treated well. Always. I know the struggle against racism continues in this country. But never force someone to accept you or take your money. The problem in America is that when people of color choose to support businesses that support them, thereby enriching their own businesses and those of supporters, violence and further discrimination often ensues until people are forced out of business. If you don't want people in your business, why stop them from supporting someone else's? This is a sickness.
