Unfortunately if he has the legal papers in order to operate the store as he sees fit, than there is nothing anyone can do other than boycot his store. I hardley think that will have an impact on his business. Places like that usually have a select clientel that don't really care about boycots..

Regardless of how anyone feels about his "attire" that he sells in the store he has the right to do so. If we outlaw this store what will be next. All the Holister and Abercrombie and Finch stores because they put slutty clothing on minor children.... Where does it end??

Obviously who ever wrote the article has absolutely NO idea about the term "redneck" if they did it would not be associated with type of business. Can yo enlighten us Gabby as to the origin of the term "redneck"...

A Senator's Shame
Byrd, in His New Book, Again Confronts Early Ties to KKK
By Eric Pianin
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, June 19, 2005;

In the early 1940s, a politically ambitious butcher from West Virginia named Bob Byrd recruited 150 of his friends and associates to form a chapter of the Ku Klux Klan. After Byrd had collected the $10 joining fee and $3 charge for a robe and hood from every applicant, the "Grand Dragon" for the mid-Atlantic states came down to tiny Crab Orchard, W.Va., to officially organize the chapter.

As Byrd recalls now, the Klan official, Joel L. Baskin of Arlington, Va., was so impressed with the young Byrd's organizational skills that he urged him to go into politics. "The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation," Baskin said.

I wonder if the same civil rights worker will try to keep Nation of Islam stores from selling their merchandise. I have no love for racists of any color, but people should be free to sell these goods if they want to.

Not to mention, the store wouldn't be open if there wasn't demand for those products.

No BUT if the owner of the building doesn't want him there then that is the logical way of handling it.

lease (read up on it)

[The Reverend]

Unless it says that the rent cannot be raised in the lease agreement then there is no legal reason he shouldn't raise it.
