ABBOTSFORD, Wisconsin - 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.

Dead man walking
Good luck with that.....
i wonder if the property rights activist will view this the same way they view someone putting a sign on the front door prohibiting firearms.
Charming.
obviously a vile policy but it does put the Al Sharptons of the world in the amusing position of being forced to complain that they’re not being admitted to a disreputable place that they shouldn’t want to go into anyway.
Holy crap!
What year is it?
Oh boy. Another idiot opens his mouth.
Excellent question. Someone should test it.
Why shouldn’t a private business be allowed to refuse service to anyone it chooses?
Holy crap....we’re going back to THAT era?
MLK is rolling in his grave.
This does not surprise me in the least! With all the crap Obozo is causing I was just waiting till we returned to the 1930’s. WOW! That did not take long, only two years into obozo’s presidency.
That is stupid and racist. Would he say no to Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, and Clarence Thomas? Not that anyone of them would go to a Gentlemen’s Club.
Hey idiot owner, that is why you have bouncers. If anyone misbehaves, regardless of race, throw them out. If you are worried about guns or knives, check for it.
The Civil Rights Act prohibits it.(not that it should- either you have private property rights or you don’t)
“Why shouldn’t a private business be allowed to refuse service to anyone it chooses?”
Because people just won’t act right unless their betters use government to force them to.
Racist Yankee Alert
