   The Collector’s Classic Gun Show in Sioux Falls, North Dakota,   
   banned a vendor after he “snuck in” racist pictures to be used   
   as target practice.   
      
   The targets, sold for 10 cents each, depicted the silhouette of   
   a cartoonish black man with “Official RUNNIN’ N****R Target”   
   written across the top.   
      
   When confronted by a KSFY photographer, the vendor insisted that   
   there was nothing wrong.   
      
   “Why are those on there?” the photographer asked.   
      
   “Why aren’t they? They’re just targets,” the vendor replied.   
      
   “Aren’t they offensive in nature?” the photographer pressed.   
      
   “To who?” the vendor said. “Are you Negro? You know, there are   
   some black people, and then there are some Negroes.” He went on   
   to say that he had “sold 500 of them this weekend. So what   
   difference does it make?”
