\"0514hillthomas\"South Carolina barber Larry Thomas is facing charges of \u201cpointing and presenting firearms at a person\u201d after refusing to serve a black man, Arthur Hill, who came into his shop for a shave:<\/a><\/font><\/p>\n

"He said, ‘I don’t do black hair,’" Hill recalled. "I asked him does he shave, can he shave me, and he said, ‘I don’t do black hair.’"<\/p>\n

Hill says he had never been to the barbershop in the 2100 block of Celanese Road before. However, he says he was pressed for time and needed a shave before work.<\/p>\n

Arthur Hill asked him to clarify:<\/p>\n

"I  said, ‘Are you referring to African American hair?’ He said, ‘Yeah,’ and at the time I noticed he already had his hand gripped on a .38 snub nose chrome revolver."<\/p>\n

Needless to say, Arthur Hill left and called the police. Larry Thomas only spent one night in jail and was back at his shop the next day…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
