Special snowflakes need to stay off of social media to prevent the butt hurt.
Via WMBF:
Suck Bang Blow, the Murrells Inlet biker bar at the center of Bike Week, is taking heat on social media for two shirts being sold at the bar that many on social media are calling racist and offensive.
One shirt reads: “THIS SHIRT IS MADE OF 100% COTTON AND YO MAMMA PICKED IT,” while the other depicts Buckwheat from The Little Rascals on a motorcycle, with a speech caption: “BUCKWHEAT SAY BURN OUT O’ TAY!” and the words: “THIS WEEK BIKE WEEK. NEXT WEEK BUCK WEEK. SUCK BANG BLOW,” underneath. Buckwheat is an African-American character – the shirt is apparently referencing the Atlantic Beach Bikefest, also called “Black Bike Week” by organizers, which happens the week after Bike Week and brings sports bike enthusiasts to the Myrtle Beach area.
WMBF News Anchor Christel Bell spoke to Tru Sol, an African-American band that is scheduled to play at the bar Friday night. A member of the band said he had received calls to boycott the bar because of the shirts, but said they will be performing. He said the band is trying to bring people together, and boycotting the bar would defeat that purpose.
