No Sons of Anarchy cosplay here— “Outcast Forever” is the real-life, all-Black biker brotherhood the media never showed you.
And these guys don’t ride Harleys for the ‘Gram… they ride for respect, blood, and legacy.

You Can’t Make This Sh*t Up
- The Outcast MC was formed after Black bikers were barred from joining White outlaw clubs—even in places like Detroit, a city with a majority-Black population at the time.
- The initiation process includes tasks meant to humiliate and test loyalty—like crawling into bars on hands and knees or doing thousands of push-ups.
- The club openly brands women as “property of Outcast”—a rule not whispered about, but enforced and featured proudly.

My Review of “Outcast Forever”
The Setup
“Outcast Forever” tells the story of how Black bikers, shut out from white motorcycle clubs in the 1960s, created their own outlaw empire. Founded in 1969 in Detroit by Sonny Day and Angel Herb, the Outcast MC grew into a nationwide brotherhood with dozens of chapters—and one code: OFFO (Outcast Forever, Forever Outcast).
The film captures the grit, glamor, and grind of biker life. There’s laughter in the hazing rituals. There’s pain in the divorces, firings, and funerals. There’s defiance in every rev of the engine.
More Highlights from the Doc
- Despite being in an outlaw biker gang, many members have high-profile day jobs: cops, pastors, truckers, and businessmen, all leading double lives to stay on the ride.
- The documentary peels back how the club’s “no patch in jail” rule (you must remove your vest before getting arrested) aims to keep heat off the club—even as members land in prison anyway.
- The film traces the roots of the club to post-1967 Detroit—a time when racial tensions erupted into riots. The club became a sanctuary and an act of resistance.
Lesser-Known Details from the Doc
- The original founders, Sonny Day and Angel Herb, were also part-time civil rights organizers—merging their love of bikes with activism.
- Some chapters run mentorship programs for young men in their cities—especially in Atlanta and Chicago, where violence is high and alternatives are few.
- Though “Outcast Forever” feels raw, it’s also full of emotion—members break down on camera over brothers lost in crashes, gunfights, and even cancer.
