This sign at a Taylor bar doesn't mean what you think it does ["NO COLORS ALLOWED."]

TAYLOR, Mich. (WJBK) -

Employees at Beer Belly's Bar in Taylor have been receiving threatening phone calls after a video began circulating the Internet that suggests the bar does not allow "colored" customers.

A sign hangs outside the bar that reads "NO COLORS ALLOWED." Some understood the sign to mean no black people were allowed inside, but the owner explains why that is the incorrect interpretation of the sign.

The sign actually refers to bikers not being allowed to wear their gang colors on the property.

You’re kidding me. Some people really think that sign has anything to do with race?

Good Lord....

Sounds like a history professor I had who accidentally used the word “niggardly” in a sentence that had nothing to do with racism or anything in any stretch of one’s imagination and set off the most ridiculous charges of racism by the Negroes in the class.

One of my friends needed a ringer third baseman for his 12" softball team in Taylor. So I said, yeah, I'll drive over. I thought I wasn't that bad, playing in an upper-echelon league in Ann Arbor.

I've never played wearing a cup, ever. I misplay the first linedrive to come my way, and everyone on the opposing team started shelling me. By the end of the third inning, I was playing five feet onto the outfield grass, with no hope of making a throw. My friend benches me, and I said, "sorry, but thanks."

There are some big boys in Taylor, and they can hit.

Let’s see who gets there first: Jessie “I spit in white people’s food” Jackson or Al “I can be offended by any damn thing” Sharpton. Quick Jessie and Al . . . There’s money to be made.

I know a couple of black bikers and I doubt they would be so easily confused by the sign.

Sounds like my brother’s stories about playing semi-pro ball with dreams of being in the Majors.

“There were two guys on our team who had washed out of organized ball at the Class A level. And they were SOOOOO much better than the rest of us....what the hell was I thinking?”

Lord, are people really that dumb that they couldn’t figure this out on their own?


They don’t want to figure it out.

Deja Vu. Just like when I opened that specialized Laundromat that filled the washers with bleach water. Everybody totally misunderstood the “Whites Only” sign.

Could be quite exciting when the race pimps show up to picket the bar and meet the biker customers.

I can understand the intended meaning of this sign, but really I do believe the owner needs to change it...

some of us can still remember “no coloreds allowed” signs...

he can just say, No Biker Gang Colors

easy enough. just a kindness to avoid the possible confusion is all. just a kindness.
