I am posting this article again because I received a response from one of my visitors on my former blog and it went like this:

“Why would you want to have a predominantly black bike rally in a predominantly white community? Why not have it in St. Louis?”
Please read the article and let me know what you think. Let’s keep this dialog going. It is important that we continue to support cities that won’t give us challenges. What’s wrong with New Orleans, Los Angeles, Chicago, DC and I know we can think of others if we tried.
Officials in Columbia Missouri say the National Bikers Roundup could have at least a $3 million economic impact.
The funny thing is they referred to the National Bikers Roundup as a Mini-Sturgis. When they mentioned Sturgis they didn’t find it necessary to include that Sturgis is a white biker rally but they did make it clear to Columbia residents that the National Bikers Roundup is a predominantly black biker rally.
I wonder why it was important to let the residents of Columbia, Missouri know that 30,000 or more black bikers will be heading their way August 3 – 8, 2010. Let me give you a clear understanding of why they found it necessary to let the residents know who was coming to town:
Races in Columbia:
- White Non-Hispanic (80.4%)
- Black (10.9%)
- Two or more races (2.1%)
- Hispanic (2.1%)
- Chinese (1.3%)
- Asian Indian (0.9%)
- American Indian (0.9%)
- Other race (0.8%)
- Other Asian (0.8%)
- Korean (0.6%)
Now with knowing this information be mindful and govern yourselves accordingly.
