A bar owner in Picayune, Miss., banned a party-goer who wore a KKK robe and hood to a Halloween party at his place of business.

Racists are not allowed at Mutt & BC’s Bar & Grill and Bryan Carroll, co-owner of the bar made it known to a man who thought it was appropriate to suit up as a KKK member. You know, the group known for killing, lynching and terrorizing Black folks.
A photo of the racist costume wearer surfaced online showing him hooded with the Mississippi flag – which bears the Confederate symbol. Let’s be clear: there’s no mistaking whether this was racist or not.
Chance Delaney shared the picture on Facebook with the caption: “And they say racism is dead,” he writes, “DISGUSTING.”
According to the Clarion Ledger, Carroll ordered the man to live and barred him from a lifetime from ever returning to the establishment. No beer for the bigot!
“We do not tolerate or condone racism at any level of our business, customers, or staff,” Carroll said. “Everyone is welcome and we do have all walks of life and all races that patronize our place.”
And Black customers were present and had to witness the white man dressed up in KKK garb too.

The mayor of Picayune, Ed Pinero, applauded Carroll for his strong stance against racism.
“The city of Picayune does not support any type of racist or derogatory actions, period, whether it’s true to life or a costume party,” he said. “It’s just unacceptable behavior.”
White folks just don’t know what to wear to Halloween parties.
Earlier this month, employees of a South Carolina salon got themselves in a hairy situation when they posted a picture on social media dressed as the many faces of Michael Jackson with one person in posing in blackface.
Then a clueless educator in Iowa was under fire after painting her face Black to represent a movie character as part of her Halloween costume.
They can always dress as a dummy, you know, to represent themselves.
