I've seen that sign in pool halls for years. Never occurred to me to think it meant black people.

Sorry, but if you don't know what "No Colors" means, your a idiot.

How is this news? "No Colors" is about biker gangs, not black people. I thought this was pretty well-known.

The guy still doesn't know how to use apostrophe's.

Yeah I would think gangs in general.

Black Guy: Hey, that sign says "No Color's[sic]". Is this a misspelled attempt at saying "No Colored People Allowed"?

Bar Owner: No, it's for bikers who were being assholes.

Black Guy: Oh, okay.

There was this real racist guy that used to live at the end of my block. He'd sit at his porch and yell shiat at all the ethnic kids that walked by. I didn't really like him all that much so me and my buds totally took turns taking dumps on his porch every night for a week. He got all pissed off and called the cops because he was a douchebag. Anyhow, I guess the cops staked out the place because the night it was Bret's turn they caught him in the act, but he ran as soon as they shone the spotlight on him. It was hard running for him because his damn pants were around his knees, but he managed to get around the back of the house and the fat-assed cops were too slow. Anyhow, Bret's too farking stupid to pull his pants back up and he tried to jump the fence that's back there and totally racked himself hardcore. While he was laying there moaning and biatching about ho he's totally gonna piss blood for a week, the cops finally move their fat asses and when they see he's mashed his bare nards on the fence, they can't stop laughing so they farking tell him to quit taking squats on the dude's porch and leave. And I swear one of them called him a spic to the other. Which he's just really tan because he likes to work out outside. farking racist pigs.

This seems like a sure attempt to usher in the ability to pick and choose members of any organization and choose not to serve them by claiming, "It's not a racial thing, it's a (insert name of group with opposing viewpoints here)"

Down the Slippery Slope: This seems like a sure attempt to usher in the ability to pick and choose members of any organization and choose not to serve them by claiming, "It's not a racial thing, it's a (insert name of group with opposing viewpoints here)"

Then you're missing the point and trying to read into this more than there actually is.

This is about a business wanting to keep gang violence outside of their bar by not letting people in who display gang-related symbols (jackets, handkerchiefs, whatever).

This is obviously an underhanded attempt at racism! And I should know as I've experienced it firsthand! One time I was in Harlem and ordered soup for lunch and the waiter made a point of telling me "we don't serve crackers". That bothered me the whole time I ate my soup. Stupid, racist people...

It sounds to me like the reporter saw the sign first, found a black guy at the place next door, pointed out the sign, and waited for a reaction. When Harvey found out what the sign referred to, he seemed a little too relaxed for being outraged a second before.

Would it really be that hard to put the word "biker" or "gang" in front of the word "colors"?

Just sayin'.

If he was trying to keep bikers out, he should have put up a sign that said "Stop. Absolutely no fag's"

I'd understand it as referring to biker gangs. I knew a guy who dressed like a biker, and even had a big biker type patch on the back of his denim jacket.


The problem was the patch colors were the Hell's Angels colors. One day he happened to walk into a bar where a bunch of Angels were hanging out. Because his patch made him appear he was affiliated with the gang, they wouldn't let him leave unless he used a black marker to color in all white areas of the patch to make it look different. At least they gave him an option instead of beating him up.

Actually, I believe that under the sign that says "No Colors" is "No Rockers".

I know for a fact that they aren't talking about Poison fans.

In Ontario, Canada, it's illegal for bikers to wear their colors while riding.
About ten years ago there was an extremely violent war between several clubs and innocent people were killed. An outraged public demanded something and that's what they got.
Problem solved!

I'm pretty sure the row of Harley-Davidson's parked out front would be the first clue, but I guess some people might need that extra information. Sort of like "Warning: Stove is HOT".

Maybe someone should open a bar that caters to the destructive and violent gang stereotypes. They are simply misunderstood. All they want is a place they can cut loose and have a good time.
