YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

"The Hispanic owner of a Colorado barbecue restaurant maintains that celebrating a "White Appreciation Day" isn't racist -- even after widespread criticism and bomb threats.

Edgar Antillon owns the Rubbin' Buttz BBQ restaurant in Milliken, Colorado. On Friday, KUSA TV reported that the restaurant would observe a "White Appreciation Day" on June 11 and offer Caucasian customers a 10 percent discount.

'We have a whole month for Black History Month,' Antillon told the outlet. '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.'.” *
