Last week, a restaurant just outside of Atlanta called the Georgia Peach made headlines in the worst way after it put up anti-Obama racial slurs on its storefront signage. The story has since spread across media outlets, with owner Patrick Lanzo repeatedly insisting that he is not a racist, all while he gets photographed in his restaurant with "Whites Only" signs in the background. Recently appeared on a radio show wherein he tried (failed) to explain why his sign is totally OK, innocuous and dandy:
Anzo: Well, see that would offend me, because I don’t look at Obama bein’ an African American. What’s wrong with him being a Black American? And he’s even a half-breed, he’s not a full black person.Oh dear. This Georgia person needs a timeout.Radio Host: Well, again, the word half-breed is rather an insulting term.
