In a statement, the bar confirms the picture was taken at Raxx, but, 10 years ago. They apologized for it being posted and says it does not represent their business.

Raxx employee, Jeffrey Bailey said, the post did not deserve the criticism it has received.
“Back 10 years ago, it wasn’t all this that is going on in the world today. It wasn’t all of this. Now how people, how it is now, they’re taking it as a whole different thing. They’ve had colored people which is my color that been there when the Halloween costume party go on and they didn’t think anything about it” said Bailey.

Where the hell did my comment go? Ok, I'll just do my best to replicate what I already posted. It is being said that this picture was from 10 years ago. From what I understand, Raxx was owned by someone different back then. So why is it the current owners fault that this picture was taken? Also, from what I have read, seen, heard, etc., someone posted this 10 year old picture to the bars Facebook page. Again, that is not the fault of the bar owner.

Someone should dress up as Lootie this year in remembrance of 15 years since Katrina.

“How can you be that tone deaf to post a picture in black face in 2020 and think that that’s appropriate.
Because it was taken 10 years ago? Either way, the only way it is offensive is if you allow it to be offend you. And if it does offend you that sounds like a "me" problem.
People just need to start not giving into this shite. Oh.. Some group does not like it so they attack and then whoever/whatever they attack gives into them. frick that, that's how you give people more power than they should have.
The black people in that area doesn't give a frick.. why is it always these outside groups that are trying to force their agenda on people?

Never apologize. Ignore the woke and constantly outraged.
And that's not blackface. The act of painting your face a different color and pretending to be somebody else should not be offensive to anyone. The actual definition of blackface was much more than that.

I've worn black face in that bar.
I had a biracial wife at the time.
Sue me.
Eta: to clarify, I was a slave for that halloween and had a slave owner. A few nights before I was the slave owner in Mike's in plaquemine.
Every black person we encountered stopped to take pictures with us

Pi Phi had an event there when I was in undergrad and 30+ people got their fake IDs taken away... Sad day for all involved.

So I just watched the clip. There was a white dude saying it was racist.. a black dude that looks like Gravy so if that was him he doesn't count because he is just trying to stir shite up then there was a black dude who said it wasn't raciest..
So if you just go by that.. If a white dude says that is racist and a black dude says its not.. Then why is it labeled racist? Which makes me wonder.. Who brought this to people's attention? I doubt many black people are looking through the pictures at Raxx in Port Allen..
And as for as the NAACP. Just because they are involved doesn't mean anything, they are just another group that looks for reasons to get involved just to justify their relevance (or perception of).

I went as fat Albert to Southdowns about 25 years ago. You could barely see the whites of my eyes.

Black people in Plaquemine will laugh at shite like that..
As a joke because of all these black face, I wouldn't be surprised if you saw some black people around Plaquemine during Halloween.. One dressed like a slave owner, with white face and some of their friends dress up like slaves...

Someone posted the photo on Raxx's Facebook page. Apparently, Raxx didn't have their FB page security settings correct, and anyone could post pictures to their page.

Blackface controversy is a farce. Even lefties have been busted over the years.

I always wondered what that place looks like. I pass it every time I drive on 190
ETA: yes, it’s in erwinville. Who remembers Salter’s jigging poles?

Seems like they have some decent acts that perform there for being out in the middle of nowhere.

MFP doesn't stay up late enough to run a bar. After listening to the last talk radio show of the day, he played 1 game of MLB, he is always the Astros.. And then goes to bed after he finishes.
One of the funniest things I ever heard MFP do when he called in was.. I think it might have been after LSU won the 2007 NC.
I had Jordy Hultberg on while getting ready and Jody's show starts.. He is hyping up the day because LSU had just won the NC.. He takes his first caller, they of course talk about the game.. Second caller of the day is MFP.. Jordy is like "MFP so what you think?". I am paraphrasing of course.. but MFP starts talking about the Astros and asked Jordy what he thought. Jordy was always Mr Positive.. But he went off on MFP.. The next several callers were all like "what is wrong with MFP? LSU just won the NC and he is worried about the Astros?".. It ruined the hype of the show for the whole first segment.
