Reports: 'White Appreciation' restaurant in Milliken subject of bomb threat

The Milliken restaurant that caused a stir last week when it announced it would hold a White Appreciation Day during which white patrons would receive a 10 percent discount, may have gotten more attention than its owners bargained for.

The restaurant, Rubbin’ Buttz BBQ, was evacuated late Friday because of a bomb threat, according to media reports. That night, owner Edgar Antillon posted a reference to the threat on his Facebook page, under a photo of barbecued meet.

“Waiting for the all clear. Pulling out the prime rib that people missed out on due to the bomb threat. (Investigation still going on),” the post stated.

On Saturday, a sergeant with the Milliken Police Department said she wasn’t authorized to speak to the media and could not provide any details about any incident.

The threat came at the end of a day on which Antillon and co-owner Miguel Jimenez, both Latinos, had announced their plans for the controversial event on June 11 at the restaurant, 903 Broad St.

On Friday, Antillon told The Tribune the event began as a joke, but then they began discussing it and decided to try it out. He said they realized there is a Black History Month and Hispanic Heritage Month so they decided to celebrate white Americans.

“I hope that people get the right message,” he said. “I hope people have the decency to understand what we’re trying to do.”

He also said that while the sign in the window said white customers would get the discount, anyone who asked for it would receive it.

“We want to make it clear, (white people) are the target audience for that day but nobody is going to be denied service. Nobody is going to be denied a discount.”

Antillon did not return a phone call late Saturday seeking additional comments.

Liberal fascists and radical black racists don’t wait too long before issuing threats. I’m certain the DOJ will get right on these threats.

“Controversial event”

Unlike black history month.

Their point was well made. Terrorists and bigots crawl out of the wood work when there is apparent scorn for their beliefs.

So then let’s not pretend anymore. Whites are seen as the enemy of other groups. And the enemy of useful idiot whites. It’s not about equal pay, or equal rights, etc

It’s turning into a war. How sad and what a shame such a great experiment is falling apart after only 230 years.

I cant think of another example i history where a majority gave so much money to a minority or minorities to appease them for no good reason only to have their hatred grow stronger. It makes no sense. Why would a majority vote themselves into ruin? These groups must know if whites fall, this whole thing of ours falls.

Bill Clinton has his “salad”. It was never supposed to be a “salad.” but a melting pot. Now it’s becoming a “tossed salad” Happy Mom’s day

Dear Editor:

the correct spelling should be meat and not meet. Thank you, not go about your biased reporting.

“BTW, it’s snowing here right now. “

I thought we were going to get 12”- 24” from what they were saying and I looked out to see it barely covering the grass. Longmont seems to be in some kind of micro climate when it comes to snow.

Well, they DID get huge attention to their business. Probably the cheapest advertising anyone has ever gotten. Hopefully the nut cases who are threating them will be caught and dealt with.

Sounds like the BBQ might be pretty decent as well. Anyone tried it?

Wow, I knew I recognized that town name. I was over in Lyons dealing with the aftermath of the flooding at the CEMEX plant, and took a drive up to Milliken to see the railroad damage up there. Scooted over to see the Great Western Shops in Loveland. Also a year later I was vacationing in the mountains and drove a friend up to Johnstown from her cabin near Guanella Pass on the Grant side... we had Thanksgiving dinner at her neice’s home.

One of my bike routes is through Johnstown and Milliken. Broad Street is the main drag, as it were, in Milliken. I will make it a point to stop by there next time, and people can laugh at me in my Lycra all they want.

Every racial aberration America now suffers has been enacted in the name of allowing democrats to attain and hold political power.

Also, so much for the party of tolerance and acceptance. Hypocrites!

Typically 50% of restaurants fail in the first six months. Half of the remainder fail in the six months after that. So while location is extremely important, so is publicity. And they are at the point where “any publicity is good publicity”.

The new N-word is “The Old White Guy.”

I got the Old White Guy Blues
From my head down to my shoes
Seems like this just aint my time

You say I took your stuff
Now you aint got enough
Not even one thin dime.

You say this Old White Guys to blame
I should live each day in shame,
Dont deserve anything i got.

But yer livin’ like a bum
And acting real dumb...
You think yer down just because Im up.

Old White guy is my name
you say White Preveledge is my game
Call me RACIST when I was just an embryo.

So that gives you every right
To hate me cause Im white
Every little place that I go.

When I see you in the store
Pants down on the floor
You act like Im the disgrace.

When I see you on the street
We dont have time to greet
Got to have that “conversation” about race

This Old White Guy’s had enough!
Go buy your own stuff.
Get up off yer lazy ass!

If you come for what I got
Yer likely to get shot
End up fertilizin’ my grass.

I got the Old White Guy Blues
Its everywhere in the news.
Every breath I take is a “micro aggression

And I know it wont make you smile
But I plan to be here for a while
I got to vote in the next election.
