Halloween Bigotry

[Cailin Ray]

Passing through, my husband and I stopped in Ashville for a bit to eat on Oct. 31. While finishing our meal a man we were told was the owner of the Ashville Inn, appeared in black face, obviously his Halloween costume. Bad enough but his throwing the "N" word around was all we needed to ask for our check and stress to the bar maid that we really needed to leave. She said, "I hate when he uses the N word," so it's obviously a common thing. There should be a law ....

I'm from around there. That guy has his fans and his detractors. Sorry you had a bad experience in my neck of the woods.
