BLACK BUSINESS OWNER TELLS THE WORLD HE'S SICK OF BLACK EMPLOYEE THEFT: IS THAT RACIST?

Sign Posted At Georgia Restaurant Offends For Speaking Truth To What Many Don't Want To Acknowledge

On the outskirts of Snellville sits Houston's Finest Sports Bar and Cigar Lounge, its doors now chained shut with a sign many residents find offensive:

“Closed Due to African American Continuous Employee Theft.”

Cynthia Quarterman is outraged, in part because her 15-year-old son will soon join the workforce. “The concern is will every employer say ‘look, here’s an African-American male. Will he be stealing?’” Quarterman said.

The owner of the club, the one who wrote the sign, is himself African-American.

The business license was granted to J.L. Menafee of Snellville. A myspace.com page has a profile of the place, claiming it had a clientele that was primarily African-American.

Deborah Fuller came here often. She said Menatee complained openly his employees were stealing from him. “I think his anger probably got the best of him, and sometimes we act inappropriately out of anger,” Fuller said.

Also on the doors was a promise that a new location is coming soon, though there is no word yet as to where that location will be. (watch video)

If his employees and customers were predominantly Black, does that make it okay? For us it's a no-brainer!

CAN ANGELINA JOLIE BE A RACIST?

Can a White Woman with an Asian Son and Black Daughter Be a Racist?

NEW YORK, June 17 /PRNewswire/ -- While shooting a scene for "A Mighty Heart" in Mumbai, India, two of Angelina Jolie's bodyguards were arrested after a scuffle at a Muslim school, and Newsweek was there, alongside Jolie, as the events unfolded.

Last November, while Jolie was shooting a scene at a Muslim school in Mumbai, India, actors for the movie, dressed in Pakistani police uniforms and holding AK-47s, stood in the courtyard while children were in class. That afternoon, when parents showed up to pick up their kids, the gates were closed to keep paparazzi out. When parents became anxious, the school opened the gates, and the paparazzi flooded in with them. A scuffle ensued when the film's security guards tried to hold back the crowd.

Although no one was injured, the following morning, two of Jolie's bodyguards were arrested for intimidation. Unnamed sources in local newspapers claimed that the white, British guards had shoved parents and kids and called them "bloody Indians" and "bloody Muslims." The event escalated into an international incident, and Jolie had gone from being the most famous star in India to its most famous racist.

The following day Jolie told Senior Writer Sean Smith, who was in India with her at the time, "People advised me that this movie was politically dangerous. I thought maybe I shouldn't touch this. Maybe it would do more harm than good."

Deeply frustrated by the situation and the accusation, Jolie tells Smith in the June 25 issue of Newsweek (on newsstands Monday, June 18), "We've become so eager to accuse people of being racist, but I would rather they make up almost any other story -- about me sleeping with someone, anything -- but that," she says. "It's not only a crazy accusation, but it's the most insulting thing you could say about me, that I would employ someone who would be disrespectful to someone's race or would harm a child. They take care of my kids."
