A barbecue restaurant has sparked fury after organising an event which will offer discounts to white-only customers.
Rubbin' Buttz BBQ and Country Cafe will hold a 'White Appreciation Day' next month.
The Colorado restaurant is currently advertising for the day with sign in its door.
It has sparked fury among local campaign groups, with some threatening legal action against the restaurant.

Speaking about the event, owner Edgar Antillon, as reported by the Daily Express, said: "Basically on that day, all white people would get 10 percent off.
"We have a whole month for Black History Month. We have a whole month for Hispanic Heritage Month.
"So we figured the least we could do is offer one day to appreciate white Americans."
Activist groups said it was wrong to offer discounts to certain sections of the community.
Local officials also said people who felt discriminated against could launch legal action.

They shouldn't be discriminating, and could make up for it by offering half price bacon sandwiches to Jews and Muslims

@spellingandgrammerchecker - I'm non-white myself, I don't see the problem as everyone is included, we should appreciate all cultures and communities. I think a white-discount is wrong though.

skin is like hair -it isn't a uniform colour - there is no right color and no wrong color - i prefer darker skin than lighter personally,same with hair -it certainly gives me a head start with the women
BESIDES ,WHEN WE TALK ABOUT RACE ITS THE FACIAL MAKE UP AND NOT COLORING,the media get it wrong and wrong again .  A black man with white skin would still be black - and a white man with black skin would be white |
