A vendor at a gun show this weekend in Sioux Falls, S.D. was spotted selling shooting targets with a cartoonish depiction of a black man and bearing the words "Official Runnin' N****r Target," television station KSFY reported on Sunday.
While a crew from KSFY was reporting on the "Collector's Classic Gun Show," one of the station's photographers noticed the targets showing the cartoonish silhouette. The KSFY photographer confronted the unidentified vendor who was selling the targets for 10 cents each and who was unfazed by the photographer's questions.
"Why are those on there?" KSFY's photographer asked.
"Why aren't they?" the vendor said. "They're just targets."
"Aren't they offensive in nature?" the photographer asked.
"To who? Are you a negro?" the vendor said. "You know there's some black people and then there's some negroes."
The unidentified vendor also added that he'd "sold 500 of them this weekend so what difference does it make?"
Of course when confronted by the news crews the organizer and gun show officials claimed to be "disgusted" by the targets and that they certainly did not "condone such things."
Of course those statements might have held more weight if the man had not already sold 500 of the targets just that weekend.
Makes it kind of hard to imagine that the organizers did not notice what he was selling until KSFY brought it to their attention. Don'tcha think?
Man it sure is a good thing that America is now post racist. Just imagine how bad things probably were before we did away with racism.
After it was brought to his attention, did the organizer kick the vendor out? If he didn't he, himself, condones this behavior.
ReplyDeleteYou beat me to it!
DeleteI'm not so sure he sold "500" of the offending targets. It might be just an added bit of bravado.

I wonder if there's a couple of those up there in the heartland-lovin' Palin compound? What better way to teach Trig to shoot!
ReplyDeleteYeah-post racial-'cause the Supreme Court declared it so. But, they also said corporations are people, so....
ReplyDeleteHey Gryphen (probably not your REAL name...) This is your widdle birdie again - the one who chirped some of those early Palin smackdown nuggets to you.
ReplyDeleteHere is something I recently stumbled across and well, thought you might just be interested. Please pardon the off-topic interruption on an otherwise very thought-provoking post.
I posted some of this on the tail end of the last Bristol post, but it's buried deep:

Oh, those Palins and their bidness deals!
Some rill interesting shifting going on regarding the ownership of the Rainbow Bay Resort. Even more interesting when you factor in who the main player is and his connection to Sarah Palin and politics:

Why did Todd Palin's 'SHARES' in the Rainbow Bay Lodge go from 22.5% in 2013 to 11.75 % in Sept 2014 and then to 0% by the end of 2014?
hmmmm....
Okay. Maybe Palin doesn't sell endorsements, but at the very least, it looks like she may 'rent' them - at least long enough to launder the exchange.
As Todd would say, "What's in it for us?"
This whole thing smells like the bottom of a setnetter's skiff...
Where have all the rill journalists gone?
Perhaps Pimp Daddy's business is under investigation, and the other investors in the Resort don't want to be impacted. OR, the Resort is being investigated (were Secret Service agents entertained there?), and the Palin's want to be clear of the fall-out.
ReplyDeleteEither entity might want to cut apparent ties, but I find it hard to believe that the Palins would let a cash cow wander away unless there was a bigger cow to be roped in.
Also, wasn't Track supposedly helping Todd there?
I'd like to see a white rwnj racist holding one of those up at the target range.
ReplyDeleteOn the news there was a blip about a girl who wrote a letter to her classmate, explaining why she wasn't allowed to go to her birthday party. "My daddy won't let me because you're black" Mom stepped in and took her to the party despite daddy's ignorance.
I had hoped for a more post racial country, but sadly that's on the back burner. What we need is a black female president. .
Ah, the Dakotas, a windswept wasteland of ignorance and inbreeding.
ReplyDeletePresident Obama Smacks Down Republicans With The Reality Of His Economic Success
ReplyDelete...It was nice to see this president taking a small measure of credit for the growing economy. A consistent criticism of the Obama White House has been that they have not taken enough credit for their accomplishments. President Obama went beyond reminding people of what he has achieved. The president also contrasted his economic record with what came before him under George W. Bush. The Bush economic record is still relevant because Republicans are putting out budgets that are based on the same ideology that Bush failed with during his time in office.
Obama delivered a heaping spoonful of bitter reality to the Republicans. Every single one of their predictions were wrong. The Republican economic ideology is a failure, and Obama’s successes demonstrated once again that middle-class economics will always triumph over the great trickle down fraud.

More surprising news...the taxpayers dumb enough to elect this jackass will be paying off yet again for Joe Arpaio's wrongdoing!
The fat fuck is really in trouble this time. He's squealing to the judge for mercy! The judge needs to put Fat Joe in pink underwear in a tent.
