i had no idea what it meant til i read the article but i certainly wouldn't have just gotten offended for no reason. some ppl are too goddamn sensitive, part of the reason that racism will never die.

The article doesnt say if it was or wasnt a biker bar, and I bet you can imagine why. A bar that caters to 90% bikers would know exactly what that sign meant and no one of any race would take even slight offense to it.
Smart business owners speak in the slang of their clients. A show that caters to minitrucks that has a sign saying no dragging would not have the same meaning as the same sign at an import or muscle car show.
Ninja, you are guilty of making an generalization without knowing any of the relevant facts. Why would you think he is trying to stir up controversy? Because of a sign? The article didnt say how long the sign was there, what type of bar this was, if the girls were regular occupants. This is being blown out of proportion because of people that didnt understand the slang of the clientele of that bar. Nothing more, nothing less.

Ohhh so push sensitive race issues under the rug while others wear the race card on their hat and shove it in others faces, wonderful idea. It would appear those cards are taped over their glasses and they can't see what the hell they are doing. I have no tolerance for racism, none what so ever, BUT I also despise those that use their race as a crutch because they aren't capable otherwise.
At least colored pencils is the same word as colored people. People that are too illiterate to comprehend the word COLORS has nothing to do with race are fucking ignorant. Show me a racial segregation sign that says colors vs. whites. Good luck.
If I grew up before the 60's I'd use which ever water fountain had the shortest line. Would blacks refuse to use it after me? Would they give me shit over it? I'd hope not or that would put them on the same level as a white racist.
I agree.
I even lulz @ this title. Maybe the fact that I think I'm a black girl trapped in a white girls body, I dont get offended much over racial crap. I laugh as long as it isn't uberly offensive. I believe everyone needs to have a sense of humor.

hmm the co owner is called Bo Legg [ed]

Bingo, I was trying to think of a good analogy for it.
It's a Saloon just minutes outside Charlotte.
The Knot Hole has been around for years, but a few months ago the owner put up a signs that reads, "Please notice, no colors allowed. Thank you."If you've gotten numerous complaints (even from a bullshit organization like the NAACP[on another note, these motherfuckers have done everything in their power to slow the progression of a united America. These asshats have set black people back in phenomenal leaps and bounds]), why not add another sign to clarify? Or maybe alter it to be a little more specific?Legg said he has gotten other complaints, including one from the NAACP, but he says the group was satisfied with his explanation.
I'm not saying he should -have- to, I'm not saying I'd tell him too. I'm just saying, if theres something causing a lot of negative attention, most companies/corporations/businesses would do something to clarify the situation.
That is what draws me to the conclusion he purposely left the sign up unaltered to draw controversy/attention; either to the sign and its problems, or his being stubborn and protecting his "rights".{even though no one questioned them}

Doesn't look like a place you'd catch many black people anyways....
Just sayin'....
I don't find it offensive when I overhear someone say all crackers are white trash. If it offends me then that means I'm self-conscious over it. Those that think all whites are white trash obviously haven't met or don't hang out with the right people, not my problem!
Considering there are 3,850 people in the town and only 1% are black I wouldn't imagine seeing many in a country biker bar saloon. Wonder where the 38.5 blacks are?Doesn't look like a place you'd catch many black people anyways....
Just sayin'....
I dunno....don't we have some black IA members around that area? Anyone care to chime in?
I missed where it said the sign was there for several months but that further proves my point. People walking into a place where they have no clue what the culture is like. "Colors" is a slang term and while a long stretch of the imagination may make it racist, the context is not.
Or maybe the guy just wants to keep the people that dont know of the culture out of his bar by using a sign that wasnt at all offensive, but people tried to make it such.
I also agree with you about the NAACP.
Wow that picture is powerful. I cant even imagine life like that!Your analogy is flawed. "Colors" DOES NOT and HAS NEVER in any way shape or form referred to a group of people of any race, pre or post civil rights movements. The term is colored not colors.
you racist crackas make my stomach hurt
Everybody who thinks this is wrong is dumb and should go back through high school.
