Eek..."White Appreciation Day"! (Remember When America Had A Sense Of Humor?)
Now the PC police go after any joke or bit of poking fun more controversial than "Why did the chicken cross the road?"
At 9News Colorado, Kevin Massey and Whitney Wild write about an event I find rather hilarious -- a "White Appreciation Day" from the Hispanic owners of a Colorado restaurant [annoying autoplay video]:
What started as a joke is now on the calendar. Edgar Antillon and Miguel Jimenez recently purchased Rubbin Buttz BBQ on Broad Street. On June 11, they plan to offer a 10-percent discount to all white customers, and no one else."We have a whole month for Black History Month," Antillon said. "We have a whole month for Hispanic Heritage Month, so we thought the least we could do was offer one day to appreciate white Americans."
The men expect they might receive backlash and say they realize there's a history of racism in the America.
"It's a perpetuation of racism," Weld County civil rights activist and community organizer Ricardo Romero said. "It's wrong. If you're going to give a discount, give it to the whole community."
There could be legal repercussions as well, according to Jennifer McPherson of the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies.
"If someone felt like they were being discriminated against, they could come to the civil rights division and file a complaint in our office, and we would investigate that," McPherson said.
America! Stay home under your bed, because everything is against the law!

Here's a big Thank You shout-out to Edgar and Miguel. Not that I give two cents about white people. They're as messed up as anyone else. Rubbin' Buttz is taking a defiant and comic stance against the P C community - the moral busybodies. And that's a beautiful thing.

What if they pass a law against staying home under your bed?

If the government really, REALLY, thinks this might be illegal why have they never cracked down on the 77/100 sales feminist put on?

It would be really amusing to see the SJW reaction if the owners were black. Just don't stand too close to them, because I suspect more than a few heads would explode.

This place is super close to me. I'm planning to go. I think it's hilarious, and the fact that I've heard NOTHING about it from the locals kind of says someone in the media is trying to manufacture some butthurt.

Some years ago, when I worked for a large aerospace company, they had all of these "affinity group" meetings for employees of different ethnicities. In theory, such meetings were open to everyone, but we all knew what the deal was. At some point, the absurdity of all of this must have occurred to somebody, so a white employees' affinity group was announced and a meeting scheduled. Of course, nobody was stupid enough to show up -- we all recognized a trap when we saw one.

Why is this treated as a joke?
Why wouldn't members of a minority want to give some reciprocal respect and appreciation to the group who, by and large, has welcomed them into a country where they have a better opportunity than any other place in the world? Lotta' white boys from the North died and got their limbs sawed off some time back a gettin' them slaves free, as I recall....
Frankly, whites do deserve some appreciation, don't they? And for those who say no, I would love to hear you explain why not -- without being a bigot.

One is not to upset the savages. Ask Pamela Geller.
Gateway Pundit is now reporting the owners of the BBQ is getting bomb threats.
See Crid (if you are lurking), cavemen reality.

Gotta say; I love the name of their restaurant - Rubbin Buttz BBQ. They clearly have a sense of humor.
Further, I'd bet that if anyone, of any color, creed, ethnicity, race, etc, claimed to be "white" on that day would be denied the discount.
The owners were simply doing this to drum up business.
And Cousin Dave, my current employer has all those "affinity groups" as well. I recently pointed out to a manager that they were great networking opportunities; but that there wasn't one for me. She didn't get it. (or maybe she did and just played dumb). I hope someone some day sues companies that segregate employees that way.

Discounts for me, but not for thee. It is interesting to me to see the reaction of the current dispossessed minorities when they have to share their "Special SnowflakeTM" status with someone else.
