Yeah, I wasn't sure how many people knew that so I was trying to invoke a specific image.

You're right. They are absolute pieces of shit, and there are groups that cosplay it as well. I ride (solo, not into MCs in general) and run into 1%ers sometimes. I run into the wannabes more often, who are also slightly different kinds of pieces of shit and in a lot of cases are more dangerous to individuals because they're trying really hard to be taken seriously.

Most MCs are pretty neutral and just like to ride. Some are quite lovely (BACA generally, and some of the ones who do a bunch of charity stuff) and a bunch are slightly shitty have some backwards ass attitudes.

The MC I was talking about is into organized crime (mostly meth and gun running) and white power.

I have known exactly one MC that tried to be inclusive of LGBTQ+ people, women, and non-white people. They ended up being forced to be a supporter MC for the dominant MC of the area--you do this if you don't want to have 'unfortunate incidents' happen to you--and ended up not being allowed to have women and black/Latino people in their club. They disbanded following the death of one of their founding members.
