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.

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

He could add to the sign a picture of a local biker jacket with the big red X in order to clarify his intent.

If the sign was meant to prevent minorities it would have said “No COLOREDS allowed”

Negros were called “coloreds”, not “colors” back in the day

Oh, those downriver girls [sigh]. You could look but not touch . . . and even looking might get you a beat-down.

A lot of them are. A lot of they're "leaders" and the media know this and make issues out of these types of things to stir them up.

Clearly the word "Colors" is racist and must be replaced by shades or hues.

In my experience ANYONE wearing colors in a bar, especially if they are not with ten of their closest friends, is asking for trouble.

Even when I see these “Sons of Anarchy” shirts I imagine these d-nozzles wiping the floor, losing their girlfriends...

He should have included a word like "Gang" or "Biker" to make it clear. In this day and age, it does not do to be niggardly with ones descriptive words.

How stupid does a person have to be to not know the difference between “colors and colored”.

Think of the dumbest person you know.

The collective intelligence of the American public is less than that.

None of us is as dumb as all of us.

One word answer:

YES!

Then add to that the Perpetual Offended and the Grievance Industry and I am sure they will be able to shut Beer Belly's Bar down or at the minimum obtain a pretty good 'settlement' from them.

Yikes, the wife has some cousins living in Taylor.
Guess they call it Downriver for a reason.

Anyone who does not know what “no guns, no knives, no colors” means deserves to get their asses kicked inside the premises.
