Video Coverage

The Hispanic owners of a Milliken, Colorado barbecue restaurant say they plan to host a "White Appreciation Day" next month.

What started as a joke is now on the calendar. Edgar Antillon and Miguel Jimenez recently purchased Rubbin' Buttz BBQ. On June 11, they plan to offer a 10 percent discount to all white customers and no one else.

"We have a whole month for Black History Month," Antillon said. "We have a whole month for Hispanic Heritage Month, so we thought the least we could do was offer one day to appreciate white Americans."

The men expect they might receive backlash, and say they realize there's a history of racism in the America.

"It's a perpetuation of racism," Weld County civil rights activist and community organizer Ricardo Romero said. "It's wrong. If you're going to give a discount, give it to the whole community."

I like the fact the owner wants to do this to be fair to whites, but others view it as racism so it might not fly.

I thought it was worth sharing.

Non story.

Some will argue that everyday is white appreciation day.

But whatever. Everybody else has their days/months. Why not whites?

I'm sure the owner will have CMT channel on thouh lol

So if Obama shows up does he only get a 5% discount?

I think its a nice touch. Bout time someone thanked the Race that gave all of us our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Bout time they thanked the Race that most of us work for and pays for most of the handouts.

Now we'll hear white people wanting all-white colleges and WET (White Entertainment Television), etc

I personally don't see any issue with black history month, hispanic parades, white days, or whatever ... celebrate all

As far as I'm concerned, they should be able to "appreciate" and give a discount to whoever they want. They're not discriminating or refusing service to anyone.

Boston University prof flunks 'white masculinity' in controversial tweets

Boston University Professor Saida Grundy's tweets deriding white men are her business, according to the school. (Boston University)
Critics say a newly-hired Boston University professor has crossed the line with recent tweets bashing whites, but the school says it’s simply free speech.

“White masculinity isn’t a problem for america’s colleges, white masculinity is THE problem for america’s colleges,” Saida Grundy, an incoming assistant professor of sociology and African-American studies at Boston University, tweeted in March.

In another tweet from January, she wrote: “Every MLK week I commit myself to not spending a dime in white-owned businesses. and every year i find it nearly impossible.”

In another, she called white males a “problem population.”

“White masculinity isn’t a problem for america’s colleges, white masculinity is THE problem for america’s colleges.”

- Saida Grundy, incoming assistant professor at Boston University
“Why is white America so reluctant to identify white college males as a problem population?” she asked.

The tweets were first noticed by student Nick Pappas, who posted them on his website “SoCawlege.com” and questioned how Grundy could be able to teach a diverse classroom given the racial hostility in her tweets.

“You have to teach college aged white males eventually, no?... this seems like you are unqualified to grade their work as you clearly demonstrate some kind of special bias against them,” he wrote.

Pappas, a junior at University of Massachusetts Amherst, told FoxNews.com that he hopes to “show the rest of America how nasty people on the far left can get at colleges.”

Those who follow campus politics say they are not shocked.

"I'm not surprised that Boston University is hiring a racist to teach African American Studies," David Horowitz, author of “Reforming our Univerisities” told FoxNews.com. "Anti-white racism is rampant in Black Studies programs which are generally indoctrination programs in left wing politics."

Boston University stands by the professor, who will start working at the college in June.

“Professor Grundy is exercising her right to free speech and we respect her right to do so,” Boston University spokesman Colin Riley said.

Grundy did not respond to a request for comment from FoxNews.com, and has made her twitter account private.

Horowitz said the university’s reaction betrays double-standards on race.

“If she were a white racist rather than an anti-white racist, she would never be hired. Professors are supposed to be experts in some scholarly field, and professionals in their classroom discourse. They don't have a license to indoctrinate students in their prejudices - whether those prejudices are right or left,” he said.

Grundy posted a number of other controversial tweets, for instance claiming that only whites enslaved entire generations of people. “Deal with your white sh*t, white people. slavery is a *YALL* thing,” she said.

Free speech advocates say that Grundy should have a right to her speech, but say the university speech policy is hypocritical because it allows the university to censor offensive or bigoted speech if it wanted to.

“Professor Grundy should and must have the freedom to publicly express her opinions on controversial topics. Unfortunately, though, [she] could be punished if she were to send such tweets through the BU computer network, as the university bans ‘transmitting...offensive’ material,” Robert Shibley of Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) told FoxNews.com.

“In addition, if she were a student, she could also potentially be punished for violating policies banning ‘bigotry, hatred, and intolerance,’ and for not expressing her opinion ‘in good taste and decency.’ … [BU] should eliminate these policies so that it can defend every student and faculty member's right to free speech – not just Professor Grundy's.”

Is everyone really this dense? Every single day is white appreciation month. Our history classes in school are obviously broken.

Why wouldn't this start it's whole new thread. This is a whole separate incident.

The supreme court once ruled that separate but EQUAL was constitutional even though they later fixed it, to not even be separate.

But how can separate but UNEQUAL be constitutional. It can't be legal to allow them to give a 10% discount just because someone is white.

Racism is so stupid. I'm so sick and tired of it. I'm sick and tired of singling out benefits for race; because race is one thing that nobody has any control over what they are.

10% today, a million dollars tomorrow. Celebrate all you want, the discount I have a problem with.

This is where you open a can of worms. Yet you're gonna sit here and say you're not racist.

What did I say here that isn't true? What part of being proud of my Race is Racist?

You just put white people on a pedestal. Your very words come off as whites being superior.

Like I said in my first post, it's cool for white appreciation day.

But you sitting there acting like whites are better than anybody else is not ok.

I am proud of my Race, we did all those things I describe But I don't see it as being superior, just a people to be proud of and give thanks for since we all benefit from their efforts.

Seems to me that you are the one with Racist issues.

Sorry, but that's false. Look at your initial post.

I should be thankful that I work for a guy just for the simple fact that he's white?

And you're gonna sit here and say I'm ghe one with the issues?

Oh yea, I forgot about your little reading comprehension problem. Well good luck with that.

Most of America works for White employers. Just a fact.

Who said this? A KKK member or a normal person?

Dear 40,

Let's try "a little harder" to be less racial redneck and more humble hillbilly. I can tell you are a salt of the earth type, because your comments leave everybody salty. So climb on down from that cross and join the MODERN human race for a day or two, heck you might like it better than cow tippin'!

delighted you're here,
OldColdDawg

Interesting. You complain about someone else's perceived racism by making stereotypical and racist comments. Doesn't that put you in the same boat?

to him, a kkk member is a normal person, just misunderstood.

So according to you "Normal Folks" the only Race that can not be proud of itself is the White Race.

So inform me of where my statements are incorrect.

-Which Race gave us the Constitution and Bill of Rights?

-Which Race do most of us work for?

-Which Race pays most of the taxes and therefor pays for most of the handouts?

Please tell me. Instead of calling Racist all the time, please name the Race responsible for these things. Just because you don't like the facts doesn't make them less true.

I knew when I posted it that it wouldn't fit with the Propaganda being taught today.
White bad, all others victims.
I see the rampant Racism and it ain't from this White guy. It comes from the Liberal Left!

Now I'm off to enjoy my 10% off BBQ!

Do you see me going around naming all the great stuff blacks do?

Why should i be thankful to whites because i got a job? if i was hired by a black dude, you know how much thanks i'd give him for being black? none.

congrats bro. the race that is the majority demographic in this country created all the rules. awesome. give yourself a pat on the back for being born white.

and FYI, if you wanna parade around the "handout" statement, then based off the stats, you're paying out handouts to the majority of your own race.

good job. you're paying for yourself. i'd give you a high five if i could.


you don't get it, and YTown has said this about conservatives in two different threads.

it's not what you said, but how you say it. and how you put it, combined with the fact that i've been dealing with you since the old boards, you're coming off as superior to everybody else.

And why not? Aren't you proud of your Race?

Here, let me get you started...

-It was the Black Race that built this Country into Nationhood
with their backbreaking Labor.

-The Black Race invented blood transfusions which saved many of our lives and the lives of loved ones.

-Peanut Butter is Black I think!

-A large percentage of our troops in Nam and Iraq were Black.

-Tuskegee Airmen!

-The Buffalo Soldier tamed the West!

I'm proud to be american bro.

be nice if that was simply what i was.

Same here Swish! I hear it everyday how we Whites oppress and subjugate and hold down and and and.

I just wanted to take the opportunity to agree with White appreciation day and brag a little on my own Race.

White is Alright!

Nope, I'm an ex-racist redneck humbled hillbilly.

What a nasty little post by a nasty little liberal.

and then you showed class by.....doing the same exact thing.

boy o boy.

Man this is some good BBQ!
The place is jammed with One Percenter's getting their 10% discount!

Look guys, over there is a Black Man who paid full price!

You're kidding right? I'm white and the things he posted offended me. He comes across like a bumpkin, I'll treat him like one.

You on the other hand, seem to have an agenda... You are probably a nasty little teabagger. There is NO liberal here. Liberal leanings, yes.

Good one 40, I'm speechless. OK, I'm more and more liberal every day. People like you promote liberalism by making Centrist like me want to run in the opposite direction... So I guess that makes you a liberal recruitment tool... OR JUST A TOOL.

Please enough already!

I think if we are all honest you would be hard pressed to find many Americans who are not at least a little bit racist and that is because, anthropologically speaking, people will always favor what looks similar to what's in the mirror. It's a very natural instinct.

I think what makes the difference is how much a person fights that impulse. Being human means to overcome your animal instincts.

Well said.

40 seems to be failing at that.

I haven't heard anyone say that whites are bad. I've heard a lot of discussion about how discrimination works, but it often avoids blame that suggests white people are bad. That conclusion seems to be an over simplification to create a defense that really doesn't need to happen.

I have no idea what type of racism comes from liberals. I think that idea is also some kind of defensive statement like, "I'm not racist, you are!".

But, I don't listen to or read the same sources that you might so it seems very likely we'll have totally different opinions.

Yep.
White is Alright.

If the same place plans a black, hispanic, asian or whatever appreciation day, would ya'll have a problem with that too? Perhaps that is the plan, show appreciation for all over the course of time.

Some of you talk like "I just want to be American", when it is convenient, then your posts indicate a different mindset with name calling, blame and degrading others. Gheeeez!
