Forrest Lucas discusses social-media firestorm on eve of documentary

Forrest Lucas, who turned a homemade oil additive into a multimillion-dollar company, is the subject of a new documentary that premieres next week at the Heartland Film Festival.

Suddenly, though, the timing is awkward. His wife, Charlotte Lucas, co-founder of Lucas Oil Products, sparked a social-media firestorm by using her Facebook profile to criticize minority groups such as atheists and Muslims.

After Charlotte wrote last weekend that she was “sick and tired of minorities running our country,” she deleted the Facebook post and issued an apology.
