The owner of a Canadian gun store has denied being racist, after claiming that he advertised a 'White Friday' sale because 'Black Friday' would remind people of the Justin Trudeau blackface scandal.

The owner of a gun shop in Pembroke, Ontario has denied being a racist, and insists that he advertised a"White Friday" sale only because"Black Friday" would remind people of the blackface scandal of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Perkins is apparently baffled by the complaints he received after putting up the sign. He insists the sign wasn't a racist attempt to provoke people and suggests he was being sensitive by avoiding the word"black." He claims the word now carries too much baggage because of"blackface" being associated with the Trudeau scandal.

Multiple photos of Trudeau in blackface and brownface were uncovered earlier in the year, prompting public outrage and repeated apologies from the prime minister. He managed to narrowly win re-election October 21 despite the damage to his reputation.
