sad state of affairs in America. Some places worse than others, but here in paradise, as the tourists call it, my favorite bartender told a patron, and a local at that, to leave his bar when he wouldn't stop calling President Obama the N word. A brave thing for a local bartender to do in the dead of winter when business is scarce. I'm glad this woman was fired. There must be push back and consequences to this behavior.. it can escalate far too fast.
