What is it with black guys and children's bikes?

[Aaron]

A black kid was riding a children's bike throught Walmart this afternoon. It's not the first time I've seen it. But I've never seen a white kid do it. I've never seen an hispanic or (pick your minority) kid do it.

What's the deal?

I should mention the kid was grown. He was every bit of 6 feet tall on a little girl's bike. I mean one you'd buy for a 5 year old. I guess it's only something in my area. I was wondering if there was some new identity thing going on.

I find nothing about such when doing a Google search. Maybe just something that one person did. Where did he end up riding it to in the store?

To be fair, they are doing it in Walmart not on google.
But I have seen it and it’s an age problem. I have seen a white kid do it.
IMO, It comes from an entitlement point of view that views the store’s products as fair play. It is the result of parents who let their children do and touch whatever they want in the store. By the time they are older they have not figured out how much they look like a child. Perhaps they don’t care.

Zactly. No teaching.
