It may be part of history but it also probably isn't the best business decision in the age of the perpetually offended.

Then don’t go to Lubbock is what I’d recommend. It isn’t a bad decision. The restaurant has a big collection of vintage business signs.

Anyone offended not being there is just who they don’t wan there. Radicals, snowflakes, SJW and BLM types arent exactly sought after customers.

Next case!

” but it also probably isn’t the best business decision in the age of the perpetually offended. “

Giving in isn’t the way to stop this perpetually offended BS. The proper thing is to tell them adios.

Depending on the restaurant and clientele, offending the perpetually offended might be a good business decision.

“It may be part of history but it also probably isn’t the best business decision in the age of the perpetually offended.”

Some town in the panhandle of Texas, a few decades ago, a black man opened a restaurant and wanted to call it “The Big N****r.” (And today we can’t even spell it out.)

They made him change it.

The biggest collectors of that vintage “racist” stuff are black people.

Restairant opened in April 2017.

Yelp reviewers Andrea, Jennifer, & Jessica took pics of the sign in the last few days...

Reviewer Jenny took a pic of it with a couple others 4 months ago

Might limit the clientele...

...to the sane.

From my about page:

” I will know the Republic is safe when:

“1. I can open an ethnic restaurant under the name of that ethnicity’s “worst” cognomen (such as, but not limited to “Hiram the Honky’s Hamburger Heaven”); costume the staff in ridiculous stereotypes; and deny service to any person, group, or category of people just because I want to; all without fear of legal liability.”

Items 2-4 not relevant.

Let the free market decide. I don't see a problem.

The perpetually outraged muslims liberals can pound sand. It's getting hard to tell the difference between liberals and muslims, so much outrage, so little time.

Klan hoods and robes are part of our history too. Maybe they can dress their serving staff accordingly?

The sign as the statues are part of an ugly past... don’t eat there if offended, but it is some very tasty chicken.

THIS is blackface (that's Mickey Rooney). One of my daughters is black; I showed her this number that the image came from, and explained the concept of the minstrel show. She wasn't offended, and enjoyed the performance.

The reason we are in the “age of the perpetually offended” is because we have catered to them over and over.....let them wallow in their mental illness w/o joining them.
