    Many people are scared to go anywhere near South Beach during Hip Hop weekend. Many people leave town.

    There is a reason 1,000 people get arrested at these Hip Hop weekends.

    Anyone “scared to go anywhere near South Beach during Hip Hop weekend” is ignorant and racist, and should probably come down to see what the fuss is about. I’ve been walking around and talking to people every single day, and I have to tell you that the people on South Beach this weekend are much friendlier then the people you usually get down here (ie out-of-towners, mostly from the South).

    The reason there were tons of arrests last year is because of a bullshit crackdown by the Miami Beach Police (who appear to have mellowed out this year). And FYI, there are plenty of white people hanging out, with no apparent problems.

    Get over it.

    yea great friendly people that shoot other people and kill them infront of davids cafe where i walk every morning. It’s not racism alesh they bring this “racist” stuff upon themselves. they are the ignorant and racist race that goes armed everywhere and kills other people for fun. they have no respect for life nor themselves. if MBPD made 1000 arrests last year in which 85% were of a predetermined race they must’ve had a pretty good reason. those two poor fellows that died did not deserve to die in the hands of an armed convict whom deserves to die himself.

    I live in South Beach and I have never seen more fights in one weekend there in my life. Not to mention the shooting 3 blocks from my house. The police “crack down” during Spring Break as well, there are not near as many arrests in a single weekend. It’s not a racial issue. There were white kids being arrested too. It’s a culture issue. Being a fan of hip-hop, I think it’s sad that these people come down and perpetuate every stereotype there is about the culture.

    WELL I HAVE BEEN TO “BLACK BEACH” 3 TIMES OVER THE LAST 7 YEARS. I REMBER WHEN COPS DID NOT GIVE TO RATS. BUT I AM GLAD IT HAS CHANGED THERE IS ALWAYS A MANY FIGHTS. MANY GUYS BEING VERY DISRESPECTFUL TO GIRLS. THE 95% OF PEOPLE WHOM GO THERE IS JUST TO GET LAID GET DRUNK DO SOME DRUGS. YOU CANT EVEN LOOK AT SOMEONE THAT THEY DONT WANT TO START BEEF WITH YOU. THE MAJORITY OF THESE PEOPLE ITS SAD TO SAY BUT THEY ARE AFRICAN AMERICAN “BLACK”. ALSO THE BUSINESS OWNERS TAKE ADVANTAGE AND RAISE THEIR PRICES THE MAJORITY OF THE HOTEL ROOMS GET TRASHED. YOU CANT EVEN TALK TO SOEMONE WOTHOUT THEY GETTING AN ATTITUDE. IMAGINE SPRING BREAK ITS LIKE A 30 DAY EVENT AND THERE IS NOT AS MAY ARREST AS IN THIS 3 DAY WEEKEND.
