A few weeks ago, Wesley Aducat, the owner of the South Jersey Shooting Club in Winslow Township, put up two billboards advertising his business in the area.
The advertisements show the silhouette of a gunman who is kneeling and taking aim with a rifle. The billboards read: 'The only time we take a knee...'
The advertisement is a reference to the NFL players who have been taking a knee during the National Anthem to protest racial inequalities. Many have criticized the players for kneeling, saying it's disrespectful to the troops.
The players themselves have refuted this claim, saying that the protest is of racial injustices and nothing more. Supporters have also called out critics for not respecting the players' First Amendment right to free speech.
In short, the protests are a racially charged issue, so the advertisements - a criticism of the movement - was taken as racist by some.

Good one.
Looks like "Freedom of Speech"
Under fire for what? Seems its always some idiot with to much time on their hands to cry racism!! If it's not the statues,the flag,Trump,they will cry foul about something else! These people need to get a job pay taxes and quit wasting time worrying about how the system does them wrong!!
Do you really think they care if someone is offended by their sign???
Exactly how is this racist?
Love it. Thank you for sharing the photo.
everything is racist, now. A snail crossing a path is racist to these idiots! If they had jobs they wouldn't have time to think this idiocy up.
And, no, 353, I'm sure those guys don't give a f!
I can't see the racism? Is any one else sick and tired of certain people crying racism! I know what group of people are crying racism and it's sad that the media jumps right on it to make it worse. The media should call these people crying racism a bunch of idiots.
The racism that I see is when black people kneel during the National Anthem because they claim it's a white Anthem. No moron, it's an American Anthem.
3:47...The reason they have so much time on their hands is because they don't work and live off the "system". It kills me how I see people on WIC and all, but they have $1000 cell phones.
Wow, people have way too much free time.
NOT Racist. period...
So now, taking a 'knee' is disrespectful to troops...let me get this straight...the sign is 'racist'? How does this all add up? Somehow I'm thinking that some of the 'troops' might be African American, Hispanic, Asian. Or have all of those 'minorities' somehow been purged? Just how is this sign deemed to be racist???
He!! I am racist because my Caucasian parents decided to have children, which by today's standard was racist of them!!
They just elected a democrat to office better get use to it
Freedom of Speech baby!!!!!
Wait racist to who? The man on the sign is clearly black!
