  Speaker 1: So well, there was one other thing I wanted to

  Speaker 1: Sometimes I do, Sometimes I don't.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you say you're going to talk about this, and
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: it's not that. It might be something different, because something interesting.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: I'll come on the news.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Oh wait a minute, I found that the target thing?
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: The target because it's Halloween, right, So this is Reuter's News,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: which I always just Rerouter's is British to me? Is

  Speaker 1: it British to you?
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: It sounds yeah, sounds like that. I don't how to
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: does it sound?
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: This is about a target st or Midtown Manhattan. Apparently,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: they apologized on Monday and said they've pulled a Halloween
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: costume off the floor, no longer for sale because it
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: depicted a circus clown that critics said evoked black's face
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: and minstrel shows. Yeah. Now most clowns I guess have
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: white faces. But people are still scared of this one though,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: this one, they say if o minstrel shows, the product
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: sold as a kid's glows under black light Circus clown
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Halloween costume prompted backlash on social media, some consumers saying
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: it resembled a racist caricature. As a company, we know
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: we got this wrong and we are deeply sorry. The
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: costume is offensive. Shed never have been part of our assortment.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: No longer available for sale. See if you can find
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: a picture. I need to see a picture of this
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: because I again, it's a clown costume for Halloween, and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: people go all day, who was it some actress that
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: they jumped on like five years ago because she wore
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: she darkened her skin, She went as like a princess
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: from Aladdin or something. I can't But then the people
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: who were criticizing her and so forth, you know, Joy
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Bayhart picture came out of Joy Bahart, who had done
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the same thing, had done the same thing, and of
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: course you know whoopies x x man Ted Danson, he
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: got all kinds of headlines for going to the Friars
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Club in blackface, I myself did. I had a character
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: when I was younger. I was a theater major. I
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: had a case full of theatrical makeup and there was
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Bob Kelly line is what I used. And Bob Kelly
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: had a cream stick called light Negro, which was darker
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: than me. But I was a young man back then
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: and I could put that on. And I would put
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: on some up, some crape hair, facial hair, give myself
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: a graybeard, gray mustache. And I had a hat that
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I put hair inside of so the hair would come
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: out of the hat. When I wore the hat looked
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: like you know, I had it on my head. I
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: walked into my sister's house one night, just opened the
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: front door and walked in in this character, and she
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: grabbed a butcher knife out of the kitchen she was.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: She didn't recognize me. Now, remember I was a big boy,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: four hundred pounds man. It was hard not to you know,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I can't blend in with the crowd at that size.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: So she saw me and grabbed a butcher knife, thinking
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: that some man had come in her house. I was
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: pretty good with the makeup, but at no point did
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I think, oh I'm being racist, I'm gonna make fun
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: of darker skinned people. We just get carried away with
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: this crab.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I sent you the picture of the costume, and
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: if you look at it before you say anything, do
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: you think it's the costume or the costume plus the
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: child model that's in it too, that may have invoked something?
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: You see what I mean?
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: And I would have never thought.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: If there was a white kid's face in there, you
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: would not see this as being racial, right, That's what
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, because, yeah, there's a brown skinned boy wearing
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: this thing, and that's why this is racial. If it
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: was a white face in there, there would be no
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: racial connotation to this at all. It looks like a
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: court gester type thing with a big, giant barry looking smile.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, target your wisses, your absolute wisses. That's
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: that's dumb. Yes, I'll probably put the picture up on
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: my Facebook page when I get home so you can
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: see it. That's absolutely dumb. We are so busy bending
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: over backwards doing sanity that we cannot move forward and
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: find sanity at all. People stop it. You don't have
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: to get belligerent about it. Just stop. Stop playing the
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: insanity games. Up is up and down is down. Right
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: is right and left is left. It's that simple. And
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: if somebody tries to tell you a left is right,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: laugh it off and move on, but do not do
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: not subscribe to their delusions. We got to stop this man.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: That's a racist costume. Really, music's playing. Time for me
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: to fly.
