Colorado restaurant plans to host “White Appreciation Day”

[philosslayer]

A restaurant in Colorado is turning some heads after they announced they will host a “White Appreciation Day” next month.

The Hispanic owners of the barbecue restaurant says offering a “White Appreciation Day” started as a joke, but now they have added it to their calendar.

On June 11, Edgar Antillon and Miguel Jimenez plan to offer a 10% discount to all white customers and no one else at their restaurant, Rubbin’ Buttz BBQ.

“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.”

1. Cool.

I support them doing as they please at their place of business. And I support those who choose not to visit that establishment.

31. +1

[Brickbat]

2. I find this hilarious.

3. tifwiw

Antillon says the discount is not meant to discriminate, but instead bring people together.

[Agschmid]

5. FWIW... I feel like the white people of Colorado don't have to try that hard,

to be together.

6. of course it "discriminates"

The first thing one must do when walking in the door is to identify one's race. They have to "discriminate" who is white, and who is not.

4. Do black people in slave costumes wait on the customers?

But seriously, this is kind of a way for these Latino Americans to mock white people and profit from them at the same time, so I am for it.

actually as a white american I am a racist, I am the least racist white american I know, but since all white americans are racist, so am i

but you didnt mean that, did you

[shenmue]

8. Nice

[philosslayer]

9. How is giving someone a 10% discount mocking them?

And you're all for "mockery"? wtf??

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

16. I am not a racist, I think you better fucking retract that and now

but since I am white actually I am racist as ALL white americans are

I am the least racist white person I know, but still

and you didnt mean that, did you

[Oktober]

19. Ok buzzkillington...

I'm sure you are a hoot at dinner parties with you declaration that you are the least racist white person.

[uppityperson]

20. Maybe you missed the "I know" part of the statement?

"least racist I know" , the qualifier makes a big difference.

[Oktober]

23. That makes you even less fun...

Maybe you can hand out surveys to compare privilege between the salad and main course.

Good lord... Listen to yourself...

[uppityperson]

25. And now you seem to have missed that I am a different poster, not the one who wrote that.

[Oktober]

38. You, him, her...

Point stands..

[uppityperson]

39. So, i am...?

[GGJohn]

42. Well, maybe you're a racist,

But I'm not.

[snooper2]

21. you are being silenced? who is doing that?

You mean on this forum or is something else going on?

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

22. I just assumed, EVERY time I talk about all whites being racist, i get a hidden post

[snooper2]

26. well, don't do it more than five times I guess

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

28. Yes, but that is insane. This is DEMOCRATIC underground, so I get frustrated

[NobodyHere]

33. Bigot attitudes will often get one's post hidden

nt

[cwydro]

34. Generalizations are so boring.

"All whites are racist."

That is just a silly comment to make.

[Kurska]

41. Sounds like the system is working N/T

[Journeyman]

14. That's an incredibly limited view of human interaction, and quite distasteful . . .

You seriously need to examine your attitude towards people.

[lpbk2713]

7. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

I hope it works out OK for the owners but some of the clientele might have ideas of their own.

[Shrike47]

10. Of course, all they serve that day is Wonderbread baloney sandwiches and mashed potatoes.

[Iggo]

13. Heavy on the mayo...or would that be Miracle Whip?

[MattBaggins]

30. There is white and there is tuna noodle casserole white

[kentauros]

11. On June 11, Edgar Antillon and Miguel Jimenez plan to offer a 10% discount to all white customers

and no one else at their restaurant, Rubbin’ Buttz BBQ."

So, in other words, black folks have to pay more than white folks at this restaurant on June 11? Yeah, nothing illegal about that. This ought to end well.

"Antillon says the discount is not meant to discriminate, but instead bring people together."

Yes, Mr. Antillon, I am sure that it will work out that way.

[joeybee12]

15. Seems like they meant it as a joke...

Then said hey, it'll get us publicity

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

18. Exactly

[LittleBlue]

24. Free advertising and possibly a GoFundMe page if

someone complains. Not a bad strategy. Might be a rough crowd though.

[951-Riverside]

27. Way to make Customers feel really uncomfortable and drive them way

People across the spectrum aren't going to feel comfortable eating there.

Personally I wouldn't trust eating food from an immature person who is more obsessed with race over cooking good food. I don't know if that person can be trusted to prepare food. My first concern is them spitting in it.

[Buzz Clik]

29. Pretty harmless. Seems like a way to capture some business.

[Orsino]

35. If the story had not carefully told us that the owners are Hispanic, we'd be outraged.

Just goes to show that context is all.

[Eleanors38]

37. Racial disparagement is OK in-house. But for whites it's out-house!

[Eleanors38]

36. And get free tickets to see the Northern Colorado State Fighting Whities!

[Catherine Vincent]

40. The owners can do whatever they please

I really don't care. But I wonder if when interviewed as they were talking about the months for Hispanics and Blacks, if they actually mentioned Black History Month first as the article says... and if they did why?
