Hmmm, must have been cause they were black, either that or because you are a racist. Not sure what difference the color of the thieves contributes to your story. Reap what you sow.

Not being racist, however, on 2 different occasions, a black guy stole my grandfathers motorcycle's licence plate. One one other occasion, a black guy tried steeling his spree by, again, shoving a screw driver in the ignician. On a forth occasion, a white guy tried breaking into the locked trunk on grandfathers spree.

yeah, not cool. I know that when emotions run high we sometimes say things we don't mean. all of us; black, white, scooter thief, non-scooter thief, *, straight, christian, muslim, pro-whatever, anti-whatever, need to cut each other some slack. everyone makes mistakes.
but 3 scoots, man, I'd be swingin' a wrench at some dudes.

Hey, no one wants to loose a scooter. WE ALL PUT A LOT INTO THIS. I don't think that Killing Spree is a racist. My words were too harsh, and I apologize for that. If I can see the dudes taking my scooter though, somebody's gettin that assum whumped.

That's dumb to think he is racist. If you report it to the cops are you not going to say the race those kids are if they were indeed black. That's so dumb to jump to conclusions of prejudism.

ahahah im not racist, asuming im a racist for saying black was pretty racist. If your imediat thought as soon as you saw the word black is negative, maybe you should change you perception of the term. If it was white kids, i would have said white kids. A man came to our door and said, " do you guys own the scooters ? Four black kids just went running down the street with them." Is this man a racist for giving a description ? no he is not, nor am I. So stop crying

Oh, you are speaking to me directly thanks. I was offended by his choice of words "a bunch of black kids". Three black kids may not have offended me but, the statement speaks to the nature of something more than the bikes being stolen. Its a very general statement that DOES imply something regardless of what anyone would like to admit. As I stated I do not think that he is a racist per se.
