No offense was meant by a “White Friday” advertisement posted by Perkins Guns and Ammo in Pembroke. Owner Lance Perkins says winter is white, snow is white and Christmas is white so why shouldn’t they have a White Friday sale. He adds Black Friday is an American tradition and Perkins didn’t want any connection to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s blackface scandal.
The owner of Perkins Guns and Ammo says he’s received nothing but good comments from the sign. He adds if anyone thinks it was racist they need to get their heads out of the gutter.
The sign outside the business read “Gun Deals, All You People, Come On In, White Friday Sale”. Perkins says the whole store is on sale until Christmas.
