Strip club owner posts “No Negroes Allowed” sign
Strip club owner posts “No Negroes Allowed” sign



A sign excluding black people from a future Abbotsford, Wisconsin business is enraging some people in the small town. It's a sign generations of people may have never seen, yet Mark Prior says it's his right to discriminate. "If I've got a problem with you it's going to be on the front of my store," says Mark Prior.

Prior posted his 'No Negros Allowed' sign after he says he had some problems with black people in the past and needed to make a policy against them. Federal and State law says if the business is open to the public, prohibiting people based on race is illegal. If the man's proposed gentlemen's club was going to be a private club, then an African American historian says he could discriminate.

"I'm going to stick to my guns because I think I have the right as a business owner to reject service to anyone. It's not all the black people there are just a few bad ones," Prior says of his problems in the past. Prior wants to open a gentlemen's club in a building next to the Abbotsford city hall and library. He says he moved his sign inside after someone with the city asked him to remove it.

17. Well, the word isn't used much any more
I guess we should give him props for trying to use it instead of the word he likely uses most of the time.

4. Thank you Libertarians
"I'm going to stick to my guns because I think I have the right as a business owner to reject service to anyone...." Rand Paul would approve.

"...It's not all the black people there are just a few bad ones," Prior says of his problems in the past. This guy must have been asleep when they went over the civil rights movement in school. Complete Fail.

Well gosh. Isn't it just a darn-tootin' miracle that he's never, ever, never had a problem with a white guy?

16. Just for the customers or for the dancers also?
That could be employment discrimination as well.

24. We're allowed to be discriminated against
Because of race, size, body, age... anything having to do with our looks. And us white girls get discriminated against for our race too in this business. All depends on what a particular club wants. Thankfully, most clubs want a variety.

After all, it's not all the gentlemen's clubs, there are just a few bad ones.
