We have a whole month for Black History Month, we have a whole month for Hispanic Heritage Month, so we figured the least we could do was offer one day to appreciate white Americans

Butt, did you off a 10% discount to the Blacks or Hispanics?

I was going to ask the same thing. It doesn’t appear so.
And what if someone looks Black or Hispanic or Asian or Native American or Indian etc but is biracial? Do they get a 5% discount?

I think this establishment is looking for attention and they sure got it. Hopefully no one will “threaten” the owners forcing them to shut down for the day, cry on FOX for being God-lovin Christians who are against discrimination of any kind, raise a million dollars and re-open.

A 10% discount for white customers? If that’s legal (maybe it is, there are age based discounts for children and seniors) why couldn’t a restaurant have a “White Appreciation Year”? Decade? Century?

I think the customer’s butts have to be so big that (in Stephen King’s immortal phrase) they look like two dogs fighting under a blanket. That gets them a 10% discount, but not at the buffet.

(I’m also surprised that they didn’t add an apostrophe to make it “American’s”.)

Steviedee111 asks " why couldn’t a restaurant have a “White Appreciation Year”? Decade? Century?"

I think we already have that. But we call it all of American History, or maybe Western Civilization.

Ho Hum. Another failing business hoping to return itself to solvency by grifting off of fascists and bigots with a crowdfunding sympathy campaign. What else is new.

Ya’ know what?
I’m getting this huge sense of irony that’s going to fly over the heads of most.
I actually think this gentleman of non-white heritage is producing a fine piece of sarcastic theater.

Go White People! Go!

Thank you TrumpDog for applying a bit of sanity.

What more can one expect from an individual who actually thought “Rubbin’ Buttz” was a cute name for a BBQ joint?

Well, I can’t boycott them because I don’t live in Colorado and probably will never even go there, but jeez Louise, what a pack of jackasses.

I hope this shithole burns to the ground.

$10 says Rubbin Butz is having financial problems and is trying to get loads of Teabaggers to bail them out.

Yup.

  1. Do something stupid and controversial.
  2. Defend your actions.
  3. Act all butthurt.
  4. Have someone set up a Gofundme account.
  5. Kick back and watch the dollars roll in.

(They’re at step two now)

Prediction:

In 4 weeks, they’ll be out of business.
In 4.5 weeks, they’ll be prime example of “anti-white prejudice” on Faux News
In 5 weeks, there’ll be a crowdfunding campaign that lets them rake in the bucks
In 6 weeks, Faux will have forgotten them
In a year, they’ll be reopened, but at greatly diminished capacity–but the owner will have a new house or boat

Grifters gonna grift.

The people who work there are very, very sharp. How come nobody else has thought about the lack of a special month for white history???
