Race Culture In Hells Angels

Added: 2026-05-30

[00:00:00]But I will tell you this and it's the truth. There were blacks in the Hells Angels at one time. There are no blacks in the Hells Angels. And what happened was along with the women members, they got pushed out. And when Hells Angels started getting attention of law enforcement going to prison, the Hells Angels took on the prison political color line. The whites stick with the whites, Mexicans stick with the Mexicans, the blacks stick with the blacks. And of course we got painted with a, you know, racist brush. These guys are racist. And you know, we used to go party at the East Bay Dragons clubhouse. Sonny Barger, I had a long time relationship with. It was a love-hate type relationship. He was my senior, very powerful guy in the club.

[00:00:39]He would go hang out at the East Bay Dragons. They were from Oakland. Were people prejudiced? I didn't get that vibe, but we did have the political prison color lines that we adhered to.
