The Hispanic owners of a barbecue restaurant near Denver say they plan to hold a 'White Appreciation Day" in June.

Edgar Antillon, owner of the Rubbin Buttz Barbecue, says his plan is to to offer a 10% discount to all white customers and no one else. And that had already started a backlash from civil rights advocates, organizations and even the state government.

"We have a whole month for Black History Month," Antillon said. "We have a whole month for Hispanic heritage month, so we thought the least we could do was offer one day to appreciate white Americans."
