Owner Posts Racially Offensive Sign to Keep out Gangs
A Fort Worth man said he is trying to keep gang members out of his business with a large sign telling them to keep out.
Some people say the sign is racially offensive, and they want it taken down. The message refers to African Americans in a derogatory manner. picked by dollyllama 10 months ago

I'm glad you pointed this out early, before a whole pile of people who don't actually read the article start making comments about what a huge racist this guy is. (Of course, I guess he still could be.)

I thought this quote was interesting:

"We're trying to kill the N-word, and this guy puts it up on his wall not once, but two times in big red letters," said Wilkerson.

People don't seem to realize that the more you make a word forbidden and try to kill it and hide it away, the more powerful that word is.
