A bar owner in Georgia is under scrutiny for a controversial sign he put up about President Obama. The sign reads, "I do not support the n***** in the White House."
The bar’s owner, Patrick Lanzo claims he’s not racist but just exercising his First Amendment rights.
"I say just because you're offended by it doesn't mean you don't have the right to say something just the opposite,” Lanzo told Atlanta’s Fox 5.
Lanzo's bar, The Georgia Peach Oyster Bar, has a history of putting up incendiary signs. In 2009, he protested the healthcare law with a sign that read, "Obama's plan for health-care: n***** rig it."
The bar's website advertises itself as "the Original Klan, Klam and Oyster bar." More of these controversial signs can been found on his website here (WARNING: not suitable/safe for work)
One Paulding County administrator called the most recent sign "repulsive" and "embarrassing." He said at this point there is nothing the county can do to have the sign removed.

"Recently a high school student got suspended for wearing his shirt "Life without Jesus is a waste""
That happened in Nova Scotia... that's in CANADA, not the US. They have their own laws, which are none of our business.

I think it is time for White People to march
There is no such thing as "reverse" racism- racism is just that: racism.
His name is "Lanzo". Hmmm doesn't sound like a "White" Anglo Saxon or Arian. Sounds like a "Caucasian" Italian, Greek, Spaniard or Portugese. By the way, "Caucasian" means Brown to White. It would be funny to see the expression on this "Lanzo" character when he realizes that his own family bloodline is as colorful as the people he "Ignorantly" insults. Then again, maybe he already knows & like a child needs to scream loudly to hide & distract this fact from the ignorant real "White" Anglo Saxons & Arians he hangs around with. Suggestion: Never argue with a fool. People watching may not be able to tell the difference between who is who.
"Lanzo" What a fool.

I find it ironic that these are the same group of people that were offended by a wardrobe malfunction or the use of the word "ass" on a television show.
