Controversial post: Forrest and Charlotte Lucas pictured at the Alzheimer's Association Rita Hayworth Gala 30th anniversary in New York. Charlotte Lucas wrote a controversial Facebook message last week criticizing minorities . The multi-millionaire owner of Lucas Oil has backtracked and apologized after she posted a furious rant to Facebook bemoaning the Muslims, atheists and minorities she claimed were 'running' the country. Indianapolis Colts backer Charlotte Lucas, 65, who is worth $300 million and founded Lucas Oil in the late 1980s with her husband, Forrest, 69, posted the controversial message to the social network on Thursday before deleting it. 'I'm sick and tired of minorities running our country!' wrote Lucas. 'As far as I'm concerned, I don't think that atheists (minority), muslims (minority) n (sic) or any other minority group has the right to tell the majority of the people in the United States what they can and cannot do here. 'Is everyone so scared that they can't fight back for what is right or wrong with his country?' Lucas confirmed the posting was written by her to an ABC affiliate, although the car lubricant multi-millionaire claimed that she was emotional when she let fly her invective against minorities across the country. 'I was very upset when I wrote that,' she said to ABC 6, without explaining what caused her furious attack on Muslims, atheists and other unspecified minorities. 'I will not elaborate other than to say that there are certain people who are trying to make the whole world eat what they want to eat and do what they want to do. 'I don't think it's any of their business what I put in my mouth. Thank you.'

It has been speculated that Lucas may have been referring to Michelle Obama's 'Let's Move!' health campaign in mentioning eating habits, but in the absence of a full explanation it is not entirely clear. Taking her apology further, Lucas said that she recognized her attack could have been construed as insensitive, but she had no regrets. 'I apologize to everyone for the insensitive comments posted on my Facebook account,' she said on Saturday. 'My comments did not reflect my personal views about any individual or minority group, only my frustration that our government system sometimes seems out of balance. 'We live in a great country, but the agenda for our elected officials is too often dictated by special interest groups.
