A Massachusetts restaurant is repealing its racist dress code, with the owner apologizing to protesters for not realizing the impact of his policy, according to reports.
About 100 demonstrators gathered outside Nathan Bills Bar and Restaurant in Springfield to protest a policy that prohibited baggy blue jeans, long white T-shirts, do-rags and baseball caps worn backwards.
A picture of the dress code spread across social media, with many criticizing the policy as directed at African Americans.
Restaurant owner Robert Grossman met with the Pioneer Valley Project, the citys NAACP chapter and City Councilor Tim Allen and agreed to end the policy, Masslive reported.

I remember when you had to wear coat and tie to eat dinner at a lot of places.
Seems racist to say that only blacks dress grungily.
Id be for keeping the ban on baseball caps worn backwards.
= = = = = = = = = =
I ‘caught hell’ for getting on my Grandsons case about wearing the ball cap backwards.
I asked him if he knew the origin (I had to explain origin..ha ha) and he was ‘aghast’ when I told him it was a prison thing so they could get close to the bars or fence or since it only ‘irritated’ me I probably came up with that explanation on my own.
(that was the first explanation I had gotten those ‘years ago’.)
On the show “The Wire” cops were trying to put a tracking device on a ‘gangstas’ car so his partner distracted them by asking where he could buy those ball caps with the bills on the side and back.
The one dude was trying to explain to them how it originated and the cop insisted he had never been able to find where they were sold like that.
Right up there like when hustler sold some ‘gangstas’ vanishing cream and go whizzed when no one would believe them. A cop finally ‘figured it out’, told another one and the new guy went in and made like he didn’t see him...it was comical watching the guy ‘stealthly’ stroll pass all the cops in the building thinking they couldn’t see him.....
Wholesome Canadian Justin Bieber dresses like that. I’ll bet they’d let him in. *SNORT*
Grossman is a coward......turning his place over to low class customers...unlikely any regulars will choose to return
Can I wear my MAGA Mask? ;)
The restaurant no longer requires its patrons to dress like a civilized human being.
But the first black president of the USA’s first act to tax tanning salons - which cater exclusively to white people- isn’t racist.
Uh huh.
My uncle was murdered there, stabbed to death out side a bar.
He wasnt playing with a full deck after Korea but, was still stabed to death.
Played with Jean Krupa and others, just couldn’t shake the demon Booze.
Same with a gorgeous Aunt that died alone in a Hartford hotel.Drugs
Post WW II and Korea took its toll back then and there was no talk of PTS
Dad was at Pearl/Hickam on 12/07/41.
Never talked about it till the 50th when he participated in that memorial
People that stab an opponent are the lowest of low IMO
My bro went to Springfield College
Springfield is a shithole
Why did they ban plain white tees?
Because...
There is nothing in the world like seeing somebody’s butt crack to enhance one’s appetite.
The cherry on top is to see a guy with his cap on backwards, with his hand held up to his forehead, like a visor, to shield his eyes from the sun. Stupidity gone to seed.
I personally think he should continue barring lowslung trousers which expose “plumber’s crack”. That is offensive in a dining establishment.
Nathan Bills Bar and Restaurant
Now a place for hoods and ghetto rats.
Springfield is a shithole
Justine Beiber comes to mind.
Blacks know they are not welcome in that bar. It is a cop bar.
There is existing litigation about a bunch of cops beating the crap out of someone there.
Funny...the Springfield cops encrypted their radios because the gangs had better dispatchers
I was born there. I lived there for decades.
My daughter went to SC. Its ok, just dont go two feet off campus.
Otherwise, the city has gone to hell. Good mayor, lousy judges and horrible BLM City Council. The corruption in the City has been hip deep for ages.
Long white tees are worn by gangs in town.
