Martha-Renee Kolleh, 46, said she was so fed up with people walking out of her restaurant when they spotted the color of her skin that she put up the notice in the establishment’s door last week. “I am a black woman and always will be,” it reads. “If you are allergic to black people don’t come in. But if you prefer quality wholesome meals come in. I don’t bite!” Gabriel Szabo / Guzelian The sign on the door of Yeanon Cafe in Wakefield, England, reads: "I am a black woman… If you are allergic to black people, don’t come in." The mother of three said as one family of potential patrons turned around to leave her Yeanon Café in Wakefield, Yorkshire, she heard them say: “I think we’re in the wrong place.”
