"At the Red House, where black people and white people buy furniture."
So, there's a furniture store in High Point with the above motto. It's called the Red House. According to an article in the Observer, the shop has garnered attention recently because of its bizarre Youtube commercial. Check it out:
"We thought the idea was hilarious to use race and racial reconciliation as a marketing angle," Neal [one of the singers] said Monday. "We also knew it would raise eyebrows and spark discussion."
The Red House has been in business for 50 years and offers new and used furniture.
