Man says sign is racist. It says: “Stop, Absolutely No Color’s.”

Let’s say you saw a sign in a business window that said: “Stop, Absolutely No Color’s. You will not be served.” Would you think that’s racist? Joshua Harvey, who’s black, did. To him the sign at The Inn Lounge on the Dunedin Causeway seemed like a call for segregation, using a misspelling of “colored” as a derogatory warning against non-whites, reports the St. Petersburg Times . But wait. Bar owner Manny Kusturiss said it was aimed at a different group: gang members who flashed “colors”

at each other and started fights. The sign, which also displayed the words “bikers” in small letters, was posted for just two days — long enough to “send a message” that the three men who’d caused trouble were not welcome.
