Okay, comment if you like because I'm speechless.....Peace!



In Lake Wylie, S.C., a sign at a local bar has gotten quite a bit of attention. The sign read: "Please notice, no colors allowed. Thank you."

A local resident says, "Whether you are white, black, Asian, Hispanic -- it doesn't matter what race you are, just reading that sign you should be offended by it." Bo Legg, the bar's co-owner, however, contends that some people's reactions, including members of the NAACP, is mistaken,"We welcome people from all walks. That sign has nothing to do with skin color."

"Colors," according to Legg, refers to "motorcycle gangs, [where] each gang has a color or a patch, and most gangs would be willing to fight to the death to defend it." Legg tells the Charlotte Observer, "If you're not here to get along and have a good time, I don't want you here."

Interestingly enough, my initial thought was that "colors" was referring to gangs. If it had said "colored," I would have thought it was referring to people. Given the way the sign was phrased -- and some people's issues with grammar -- though, I can see how some would misinterpret the sign. These days, people are quite open about their opinions. If the store owner really didn't want other races in his business, I think he would have said as much.
