Vendor banned from gun show after selling offensive target

My outward laughter at EJI is all the refuting you get.
Your hyperbole of going from tasteless targets to lynchings tells me everything I need to know about ya'll.

Just so you know, it should be "y'all," as in you all, not "ya'll" as in you will.
 
Never did. Its his 1A to make and sell them. Gun show or online or garage sale.

And any gun show organizer's right to tell him to leave.
 
Yea, like that was a daily occurrence.

??? It was incredible harm to "people" and their families and communities. And the predominantly white cops and local govts turned their heads and tried to ignore it.

And you just dismiss it because It didnt happen enough to matter?

That is disgusting.
 
Ah yes, wife beaters. That's become a funny name for a certain kind of shirt. Maybe beating your wife is amusing.

(I didn't direct that specifically at you as you didn't coin the term. But it's okay to use something as serious as beating your wife, aka domestic violence, to make an insulting point, and nobody flinches or complains.)

I didnt know they were called that until I was an adult but I've always found it disgusting. Luckily, no men in my family or boyfriends ever wore them....the association might have stuck.

When people say stuff like that, it puts into perspective why the black community is so distrustful of cops. Unlike TurtleDude's assertion that black on black violence and black poverty have a relationship, there is a tangible link between a demographic's trust of an institution and the institution's actions. If an institution like the justice system engaged violent activities, and turned a blind eye to others that did it, there is every reason to believe that the receiving demographic (the victimised population) would grow distrustful of that institution. Now one can get down to the details but that it essentially what it boils down to. You have 70+ years when thousands of blacks were murdered by both the government and private individuals. The victims of those crimes never received their justice. That segmented the belief that the police simply aren't looking out for the best interests of the black community. However, it's unfounded because if we're to believe Crue Cab, not enough blacks were killed. :lol:

Those targets have been out only about 25 years that I know of.

Time to put an end to that crap, bud. Time to confront those a$$holes.
 
No, its stupid. Just like dead baby jokes are stupid, and jokes about Sarah Palin's prepubescent daughter sleeping with a professional baseball player are stupid, and jokes about retarded people are stupid, and jokes about anorexic people are stupid, and jokes about Catholic priests abusing altar boys are stupid, and jokes about 13 year old girls in trailer homes getting raped by their 15 year old uncles are stupid, and jokes about Jews are stupid, and jokes about the dead Princess Diana are stupid, and so on. And these images are stupid:

There are a lot of stupid people in the world who think things are funny that most people don't think are funny. This guy happens to be one of them. Is this a surprise? Breaking news? There are people who don't like black people. OMG stop the presses! There are people who don't like women, and who poke fun at Asians, and who make fun of Indian accents, and who detest religious people, and so on.

What this entire thread is about is a tasteless stupid joke by one person. But for some reason, this one tasteless joke is for some reason making people believe that there are people running rampant in this country using black men for target practice. Is that happening?

The people running the gun show dealt with him and banned him. I'm sure next time he'll think twice about presenting a very tasteless joke. I wish everyone else who makes truly ignorant and tasteless jokes did the same, but they won't.

That, what I bolded, is the whole point.
Yes, there's lots of degrees and lots of levels of tasteless crap, and most everyone is a bigot to one degree or another but those targets are over the top. They were going too far in 1955. It's time those jackasses were confronted. Did you read his reaction? He still doesn't get it. It's never going to stop, never going to get better, as long as good people allow it.

I dismiss the EJI as a reputable source.

That has nothing to do with my comment and the fact that those things happened..and were frequently dismissed by white people and authorities....in the near past.

*You* also dismissed them.

Guy sounds like a dumbass. Not sure what this thread is supposed to accomplish, though.



If nothing else it shows that racism still exists in the USA. :roll:
