Re: The term "Brother"
In the circles I travel in, the term "Brother" is much more than a word.It carries a great deal of weight and responsibility. It means commitment without question. It is a word that is tossed around way too often by many without any real understanding of what it stands for in biker culture. Many folks dont understand what the fuss is all about when they approach a patch holder, call him brother and get a negative reaction. They think he has a problem. The truth is that the PH isnt the one with the problem. It's his culture...actually, more of a subculture to be more accurate. The other guy has unwittingly entered HIS "world" without doing the proper homework. The same could be said for anyone who travels anywhere and interacts with people without gaining a basic understanding of their traditions, customs, and protocols...
