A Georgia bar owner has sparked outrage by displaying a sign outside his establishment calling Barack Obama a 'n***er'.Patrick Lanzo, of Paulding County, insists that the sign beside the Georgia Peach Oyster Bar is not racist and is simply a political protest over the President's policies.
Yet the owner advertises his drinking hole as a 'Klan Bar' - a clear reference to far-right group the Ku Klux Klan - and has a history of catering to some of the most notorious racist organisations in the U.S. Read More

Once again, ignorance is the ingredient for a social ill in this country that should have been eradicated years ago. This gentleman and I’m using the term figuratively, is showing the world how divided a country America is because of extreme bigotry.
It is this very ill that is fueling attacks by hate groups (i.e. Al Qaeda) against Americans around the world prior to and after 9/11. These groups see that there is a divide making us weak. A house divided is weak and will not stand; therefore they will seek to destroy that house.
I have many learned associates from around the world and all have agreed that due to bigotry in this country, many around the world don’t view America as a credible influence for social rights.
So with this being said, Mr. Patrick Lanzo’s sign is ridiculous and is sadly an insult but not to President Obama or African Americans. It is disrespect to America, his country and what his country is trying to accomplish around the world.
