Blackface aficionado Justin Trudeau was just reelected Canadian prime minister and moonwalking blackface democratic Governor of Virginia Ralph Northam enjoys the full support of his party. Some blackface pumpkins in New York were not so lucky, probably because they aren’t liberal, and were removed from the shelves of Bed Bath & Beyond. Because everything is stupid, the retailer pulled the black pumpkins after the NAACP complained they are racist. Yes, racist pumpkins.
News 12 reports that Nyack, NY law firm Feerick, Nugent, MacCartney recently decorated its offices with some black pumpkins that were personalized with the names of all the partners. Within 48 hours of putting them up, someone complained that the pumpkins were racist and they immediately came down.
“We understand that someone complained about them and so once we got word of that we immediately took them down,” said law firm partner Mary Marzolla.
Marzolla said the law firm’s intention was never to offend anyone.
“We represent people of all colors and faiths, and we would never do anything to exclude anyone from any community,” Marzolla said.
If that were true, why didn’t they put up some white, brown, red, and yellow pumpkins? The local news was too gutless to ask that question.
“It’s just nothing I take offense to personally, but since it did offend someone we took proactive steps to take it down,” said law firm associate Alak Shah.
And apparently the person offended was from the NAACP. Here’s the dumbest thing you’ll read all day:
Local NAACP Director Wilbur Aldridge says it shows an “extreme lack of sensitivity.”
This is his full unintelligible quote:
“By now I would believe everyone [would] know that anything in Black face is offensive…Equally as offensive is that a retail store would have such an item in there (sic) inventory for general purchase. This to (sic) shows an extremest lack of sensitivity,” said Aldridge.
Pumpkin insensitivity? Apparently pumpkin racism is now a thing.
The black pumpkins in question were purchased from the local Bed Bath & Beyond, which the NAACP pressured to remove. And that brings us to the second dumbest thing you’ll read today:
Bed Bath & Beyond apologized, saying that any offense was unintentional and that it “immediately removed” the pumpkins from sale.
Leftist kooks say stuff like nooses and fried chicken are historically offensive to black people and are therefore racist in any context. Until now, pumpkins haven’t been historically offensive to black people so the problem here appears to simply be the color black. What this means is we, as a society, have to get rid of everything black to eliminate systemic racism.
8-balls in billiards have to go because they are black and controlled (enslaved) by the white cue ball. Presumably black bowling balls can stay because they knock down white pins, which is representative of fighting back against 400 years of oppression.
Black olives must be removed from shelves, especially since green olives come with a pimento and are in a clear glass jar while black olives are “caged” in a can. Green privilege is as racist as white privilege.
Retailers can no longer offer “Black Friday” deals because it implies that black people are cheap bastards who lack the inherent wealth of white people.
Black Angus steak house, black widow spiders, and Black Sabbath all need to cease to exist for reasons as stupid as the rest of this crap.
At this point it isn’t even shocking that the NAACP thinks pumpkins are racist. The only thing puzzling here is that they didn’t try to blame President Trump for this outrage.
