‘No Negros Allowed’: Strip Club Owner Posts Controversial Sign

From TheGrio.com:

An Abbotsford business man is under fire for posting a ‘No negroes allowed’ sign in his future gentlemen’s club. The sign excluding black people is enraging residents of this small town in Wisconsin.

The Clark County business man, Mark Prior, says its his right to discriminate. “If I‘ve got a problem with you it’s going to be on the front of my store,” he says.

The gentlemen’s club Prior wants to open is in a building next to the Abbotsford city hall and library. A city official asked him to remove the sign, which was previously outside the establishment but he kept it and placed it inside the club instead. …

The sign was posted because Prior has allegedly had issues with black people in the past, and decided to make a policy against them. Apparently it is not just black people that he has issues with. Prior says that he has a problem with others as well, but could not post a lengthy list of names outside his establishment, and opted instead to post the ‘No Negroes Allowed’ sign.

“I’m going to stick to my guns because I think I have the right as a business owner to reject service to anyone. It’s not all the black people, there are just a few bad ones,” Prior says. …

Prior‘s gentlemen’s club is set to open to the public Friday, however this business man’s previous endeavors, (a grocery store and his own sheriff’s department), have not worked out in the past.

    This guy is stupid, I would open it to Blacks and have a counter to cash all the Unimployment and welfare checks they will bring in have a charge for the cashing and make some extra money, also let the girls take food stamps from the Blacks for Tips, double the price on drinks and make a killing.

      Well thank You, I guess my freedom of speech isn’t important, not a Racist just the facts, stopped in a Gentlemans club one day after work, and that is exactly what I saw, one guy cashed his welfare check, another claiming his unemployment was about to run out, And yes I seen one girl dancing being paid with FOOD STAMPS, So you can call me what you want I understand that the truth hurts unless you can call someone a racist or another name.

      You must get a thrill over labeling blokes that post on blogs. You should relax and realize that the term racist has been so overused and abused that it has lost its original meaning, so feeling compelled to label blog posters as such doesn’t really amount to a hill of beans at the end of the day. It might help you sleep better at nite, but nobody cares about much anymore. Really, we have a self-avowed Marxist as president, so we’ve got much bigger fish to fry.

    I think it should be his right as a business owner to turn away anyone he wants. If I see a sign that offends me, I don’t go in the business. Why can’t people make a choice, based on the sign, to go in his place or not. This is not a big deal. People just want to make it a big deal. In the Land of the Free, no one is really free. You can’t set up a business the way you want to. You must comply with what other people tell you to do. Heck, you can’t even build on your own property without a permit. We keep pretending we are free, when we clearly are not.

    If you want to be a racist douche in this day and age, you have that right. And others have a right to see for themselves what a racist douche you are. Now, if there are people out there who see’s that kind of sign, and still decide to patronize such a business (not just the fact that it’s a strip club)… that’s also their right, but it also says a lot about them.

    One thing I’ve always told people about my attitude towards racists is that, it’s their problem… not mine.

    We can all vilify this man, as long as we understand that it is his right to run his establishment as he pleases. The interesting thing is that Abbotsford, WI is 98.57% white and .15% black. Out of the .15% of black residents, which for the population of 2000 equals about 3 black people, how many of those are men over 21 years of age and how many of those frequent that establishment??? I think it is obviously nothing more than a guy trying to rattle everybody’s cage.

      I fought for this mans freedom of speech, although I don’t agree with him, You CANNOT pick and choose what speech should be allowed. It’s that simple.

      Simply reflecting on history will show this business is doomed to fail, W/O government intervention. He’s not too big to fail, allow him too. Who’s wins here, the black man spending hard earned money in an establishment that doesn’t care for his business and hates him, or the black man that knew where the owner stood and took his money elsewhere, to a PROFITABLE nightclub?

      Is it racist to state a fact of public record? That strip clubs and cabbies feel targeted by people of color as easy marks for robbery and when they fight back they get painted as racist.

      The idea of not letting people into any business just based on the color of their skin it is racism just pure and simple. Individuals being barred for problem causing is one thing, this is another matter of a different order.

Crap even elect a idiot to president because of the color of his skin what that long record in the senate and Acorn service made him qualified? please only an idiot would say he is not in office because of his skin color. This man has the right to refuse service to anyone it his business it’s NOT YOURS NOT THE GOVERNMENTS NOT SOME NANNY STATE HIS!!!! and only a democratic would think that he should be shut down or not able to exercise his rights from GOD!!!! Its illegal for the state to be racist yet go apply for a fire fighters job in a quote city or try to get into a black collage (while being white) that is state funded or city or federal job where quotes apply. If I don‘t want to honky’s in my club that is all good but say you don’t want any black and watch out.

      He did not say no black people, he said no negros. It takes interpretation and that is up to the indvidual. He had the right to say what ever he wants in his own business, he can also tell who ever he wants to leave. I don‘t necessarily agree with it but you can’t blame someone who has had bad experiences in the past to change the way they do business. I live in a town with an awesome cheese steak joint, now they close before dark because the owner is tired of being robbed. I don’t agree with racism but what is he to do?

      And Mr Butler, that’s the beauty of our Republic. You can go elsewhere.

      Property rights is the basis of all rights. As conservatives yearning for liberty, you should understand the border between your property rights and someone else’s property rights. He paid for the building. He hired the strippers. He dictates policy. His business is his property just as his home is his property. If he is allowed to not let blacks or anyone he hates into his home, he should be allowed to discriminate on his business property as well.

      As someone else said too, would blacks want to be giving him money, helping his business profit not knowing how he loathes them?

      I use a similar analogy with restaurants. I’m of Asian decent. If I walked into a restaurant and they said “NO Asian’s allowed!” would I have an initial knee jerk emotional response? Sure will. Then I‘ll remember there’s other restaurants out there that I could be giving my money to. Why support this racist? Also, would I really want the restaurant to be gagged so that when my foot arrives it could potentially have spit, semen, and other filth they could think of to spite at my face? Hell no. I‘d rather they be able to honestly tell me they don’t like me so I can take my business elsewhere.

      I believe in a free nation, you have the right to be stupid. You also have the right to make business decisions that might ruin your business and cause it to fail. That’s all on you buddy!

      I agree with the owner. He has the “choice” to discriminate against anyone he wants to but he doesn’t have the “right” to. The Constitution does not place limits on him, but on the federal government. In regulating “interstate commerce” the federal government has no authority to criminalize discrimination.

      Rights are given to us by God. God does not give us the right to do things we ought not do. But, the federal government does not have the authority to prevent him from discriminating. The state government may be a different story.

      Saying all that, there is a more honorable way to make a living. Jesus has a better way. I hope his business fails.

Sure no Shirt no shoes no service, but if a gorgeous buxomy blond walks in with almost nothing on top am I gonna tell her to leave. Uhh.. no.
      And Yes, this guy will be out of business within a month. A poor choice of words but it is his business. I’m hispanic, If he doesn‘t want my money I’ll spend it where it’s appreciated. And if I were white, NO I wouldn’t go to his establishment if they were giving away free lapdances and drinks with every purchase of a box of girl scout cookies. And I LOVE giirl scout cookies.

      What, Abbotsford Wisconsin? I’ve never even heard of it. I better look it up on a map. Oh, there it is. It’s a small town way up north in the middle of nothing. First of all rural Wisconsin is not like the rural south. There are no poor black farmers. In Wisconsin when you talk about rural, you are talking about whites and Indian reservations.

      It is located right there in the middle white man’s territory. I’m betting that Minneapolis is at least a 90 minute drive.

      Trust me no blacks even live there. But, if any blacks have strayed that far out of their element, it is at most one or two.

      So basically we talking about a non story here. It is telling that the only black person that the television station could even find to interview works at a State University located 70 miles down the road from Abbotsford Wisconsin.

      You are all hyped up over nothing. We are talking about a small rural town in Northern Wisconsin. No blacks live there. Nobody lives in Abbotsford. The town consists of nothing more than about three or four taverns, a feed store, a convenience store / gas station, and at most two places of worship. It is in the middle of nowhere.

      He isn’t going loose any business. There isn’t anything to do in Abbotsford but sit in the tavern and get plowed. We are talking Northern Wisconsin here. Unlike the rural south small town Wisconsin has no Negros. I don’t think he has to worry about serving any Negros. There are none!

      The black woman that was interviewed by Channel 13 lives in Eau Clare Wisconsin. At best only one percent of Eau Clare’s population are Negros . Eau Clare is at least 70 miles away from Abbotsford.

Since he lives in the middle of nowhere, assuming his establishment has a liquor license, (We are talking about Wisconsin here. Of course he has liquor license.) he’ll do fine.
