Vendor banned from gun show after selling offensive target

What a dumb thread. Who cares about one guy in North Dakota? What do you expect to accomplish, that everyone should get their panties in a bunch?

This is such a non-issue, it's laughable. And hardly "breaking news."

All they have to do is endure slavery, colonialism and neocolonialism in order to "do better", right?

But that's the past. I'm talking about the present. Anyone who truly thinks blacks do well in societies like Mexico, like China or Japan, is totally delusional. Those societies are openly undeclared racial caste systems still.

A racist poster that shows a caricature of an African-American under the words "Runnin' N----- Target", designed to be used in target practice, is far from humorous.

I think it's pretty funny, but then again, not everyone is uptight.

jerry was responding to a charge that the flyover states were all full of Klan racism


I liked that he responded to such an idiotic charge that suggested the "flyover" states are full of racists based on one clown who got BOOTED out of a gun show by the owner of the show

Uh huh.

Jerry was responding to an article that described some backward yahoo selling racist posters depicting a caricature of an African-American under the words "Runnin' N----- Target", that were designed to be used in target practice.

Jerry said "Grow a sense of humor" (There was no other commentary.)

You "liked" the post.

Deny/deflect all you like. That is reality.

again you are wrong., I have no use for the poster's claim that the "flyover" states are full of klansmen based on one yahoo in one gun show.

Why would the crime of another person be relevant to how I treat a law abiding citizen? However it is interesting what you're positing. Should I view white people as racists because of the immense racism demonstrated by whites throughout the history of the US? Under your premise: Yes. However, all that does is admit that there is prejudice against black people whether they're law abiding citizens or not. ;)



What do the attitudes of police, judges, DA's and shopkeepers have to do with this? A DA has nothing to do with whether a million blacks are denied business loans. A shopkeeper has nothing to do with insurance companies refusing to insure black businesses and homes. Do they? What does a judge have to do with whether 10 million people are poor?

Well if you're dressed like a gangbanger, and it's midnight, and I'm driving a cab.... I'm not picking you up. If you think that's racist, that's your opinion.

If you're a middle-aged black man in a suit and tie, I'm absolutely picking you up.

So it depends how you carry and present yourself. These kids who want to wear hoodies and sag their pants to their knees and worship gangbanger hiphop gun violence and treat their women like objects.... their whining about "racism" falls on completely deaf ears.

Present yourself like a man who deserves respect, and you'll get respect. Present yourself like a thug, and you'll be treated like a thug.... and deservedly so.

I'd be surprised if you didn't think it was funny :shrug: It's a pity that some have lagged behind as society has evolved. It's also a pity that some minds are polluted with ugly views about their fellow human beings and are so proud to openly proclaim that they find despicable bigots like the one mentioned in the OP humorous.

And there's nothing funny about shooting people.

People are being shot in this opening story? I thought pieces of paper that are silly and stupid depictions of people were being sold as targets

I didn't say it did. Hell, if anything, I've held the same position you did. That his racism didn't come without consequences. You however suggested that in order for the black community to do better, they needed to deal with black on black crime and children out of wedlock. I asked you how those things affected the black community. You have yet to show how. As a matter of fact there isn't a single post in this discussion where you even begin to address that question. There is nothing but deflection on your part and it's getting more and more obvious that you can't explain how black on black crime affects 10,000,000 people.

Selling "running nigger" targets is no diferent than producing an episode of SouthPark or the next GrandTheftAuto.

It's just people venting frustrations in a way that doesn't damage anyone. Yes it's racist, these are racial tensions being released, and that's not a bad thing.

As opposed to lying to ourselves and saying "everyone is the same and equal at everything" and other such lies..

Plenty of comedians make a living off racial-based humor. Some pokes fun at blacks, some pokes fun at whites, some pokes fun at Mexicans.... no one is immune.

Sorry you feel the fact that I find such humor to be very entertaining means I'm unevolved and polluted with ugly views.

You could be right, but I look at it the other way. I say anyone offended by the OP has soft shoulders and needs to toughen up. Don't be so damned sensitive and learn to laugh at yourself every now and then - it's healthy.

What the he'll does Ferguson have to with this? Care to go for the gratuitous Gruberizing while you're throwing out non sequiturs?

Really? As opposed to what other governance they've had in America?

Source? Any comparisons to say, the results of equal representation in America?
