A butt is a cut of beef, "rubbin" refers to hand rubbed spices and salt for smoked or barbecued meat.

Edited to add: there might very well be discounts during those heritage months but as far as I know, they've never hit the news due to bomb threats.

A butt in the UK is a backside or hiney? And so Rubbin Buttz would appear to be (how can I put this delicately?) intimate contact between a pair of buttocks, and therefor not for genteel folk.

Well done that shop owner for maximum publicity, hope it doesn't backfire.

Actually, the butt referred to in the establishment name is a cut of pork. Check out their logo:



In this case, I offer Google's results:

It's illegal to offer discounts based on race.

"I would vote for this fella for president tomorrow. He has the right attitude, IMO !" I see you don't have a very high threshold for the presidency.

White people are appreciated every day because generally speaking, they own everything.

This is stupid. White people who feel they need this suffer from some type of inferiority complex along with their racism. Calm down white people.

He does have a point, though. If "Black Appreciation Month" & "Hispanic Appreciation Month" are considered perfectly acceptable & non-racist, then why not "White Appreciation Month"? That is what Racial Equality is all about. If White Appreciation Month is not acceptable, then neither should Black or Hispanic Months be.

I think they're saying that Appreciation Months are fine, we could even grit our teeth and have a Japanese Appreciation Month, but discounts offered to people who tick a specific racial box, which are at the same time refused to everyone else of less appreciated ethnicities, are a definite offence against good taste and the law.

Definitely, yes. And I have a terrible suspicion that in the United States it's illegal to organize or participate in a boycott of trade with Israel.

Where that leaves my call for a worldwide boycott of trade with the USA I'm not sure, but at least mine isn't even remotely racist.

But how do you define white? Mexicans, Japanese, Chinese, etc are "white"... even POC can claim they have white ancestors to get a discount in a hole-in-the-wall ribs place in FumBuck Colorado. Some dolt in a pizza place said she'd never cater a gay wedding and a GoFundMe account (which raised $843,317) was started for the restaurant when people reacted badly. This guy is offering something for nothing and he's getting bomb threats.

The event is Black History month because unlike the majority of whites in the US they alone were transported halfway around the world to work as plantation slaves, bought and sold and bred like cattle, and in living memory were 'legally' very much third class non citizens of the richest most advanced nation in the history of the universe......so they celebrate the difference.

Why don't you set up a stall at the Notting Hill Carnival and advertise 10% off Jerk chicken for all your white customers..................what response would you expect?

Simply put. As you said, people react badly. The "bomb threats" are probably of little consequence.

A friend of mine is blond hair-blued son of Mexico, born in Durango to a family who has been there since the days of Cortes and Montezuma. Looking at him you'd swear he is Swedish.

Skin color is pretty much meaningless, until some clown pulls this kind of thing.

The guy might as well give a discount to everyone who has blond hair, or blue eyes.

It might be worth noting that Colorado is a predominately white state. It's not like he's set up in an African-American neighborhood trying to exclude them. And it's also apparent that he's doing this for the publicity. It's unfortunate that we live in a society that think death threats are an acceptable way to show disapproval.

I doubt anyone who is truly sane believes death threats or bomb threats are acceptable, for any purpose.



Um, the area where this restaurant is has been primarily Hispanic for the last hundred or so years. It has been farming country growing sugar beets and corn. White folks started moving in after the sugar beet market collapsed in the 90s. The Hispanic Population of Milliken has fallen to near 30% from more than 60% in the 1980s.

So some Hispanics will get a discount, others won't. Interesting concept.

Want to see how that works when a family comes in, and some of them look white and some are more brown.

And what about them white farmers that have a rich tan?

How they gonna figure out who's white, and who's not?

Well.......thats alright then.

Maybe they should use the South African test, a pencil pushed into your hair, if it stays in place you are black.

Or they might find a colour chart like Dulux's, very handy for colour coding customers discounts.

White people should be appreciated as much as anyone else. Any statement to the contrary is racist.

"White Appreciation Day! June 11th. Because all Americans should be celebrated."

And I have a higher threshold for the office of president than most of the electorate. I NEVER vote 'party'. I NEVER assume that the 'other party' is evil and just no good for the country. Like religion, they both harm equally and should be done away with. A guy who thinks we should all be celebrated and everyone make a buck rather than dividing us to get the vote by putting down others - more qualified to lead a country than the jackals put forth by either major party, IMO.
