Target Yanks Racist “Baby Daddy” Father’s Day Card After Public Outcry

“Baby Daddy” Father’s Day Greeting Card Pulled From Target Target has been called to task over racial insensitivity after a photo of one of their Father’s Day cards has gone viral. While searching for a greeting card for her husband at a Rockwall, Texas Target, Takeisha Saunders noticed that the only card that featured a picture of an African-American couple read “Baby Daddy” om the front . She took to her social media, outraged that she could find nothing else more respectful, or featuring a Black couple with the insinuation that they were married. According to ABC , after an onslaught of outrage, Target yanked the cards from about half of its 1800 nationwide store locations. Take a look at the card below. It appears that the card is meant to be some sort of loving joke between a married couple with children, however, the couple featured on the front being Black left a pretty sour taste in the mouths of those who got an eyeful of the sentiment on social media. As Target spokesman Joshua Thomas said in a statement to ABC News, “We want all guests to feel welcomed and respected when they shop at Target. We were made aware of some concerns about this card last week and are working with our vendor to have it removed from Target stores. We appreciate the feedback and apologize. It’s never our intent to offend any of our guests with the products we sell.” Hmm. What do you make of all this? Getty/Instagram

“Black Ink Chicago” Exclusive: Ryan Speaks On “Deading” Relationship With Old 9 Mag Staff, But Guess Who He May Reconcile With?!

VH1 9 Mag Founder Ryan Henry Speaks On His Rocky Relationships With His Former Staff And His Current Relationship Status The 4th Season of “Black Ink Crew: Chicago” definitely got off to a rocky start, with 9 Mag now fractured between Ryan’s old team and his new one, so BOSSIP had to reach out and chop it up with Ryan Henry about what’s been going on since the end of Season 3, including whether there’s any hope of reconciliation and to learn whether or not he has managed to make things right with Rachel. BOSSIP: What have the reactions been like since the first episode of the season aired? Ryan Henry: The reactions have been all over the place. People have been with the show since Season 1. There’s a lot of different characters on the show and everyone is not gonna be in tune with whatever decision I decide to make. It’s been a ride though and there’s people who are still supporting from Season 1 and Season 2, so with Season 4 I really appreciate those people who are so supportive. BOSSIP: Glad to hear you’re holding up because that criticism can be hard to take. RH: I’m solid, I’m from Chicago. BOSSIP: Let’s get into the way the last season ended, how did you feel about Kat putting you on blast on TV? RH: People are gonna take it how they wanna take it. I don’t fault her for how she felt needed to go about it as a woman. I don’t have no hard feelings towards her I wish her the best. How did that affect your situation with Rachel off camera? RH: When things like that comes to light, I had to do what I needed to do to make sure things are right in my household. I’ve known Rachel 15 years of my life and she has my children. That’s not someone trying to make you act different, that’s just someone who cares about my life seeing something and wanting me to work on it for me to be better. Do you feel like Charmaine was disloyal? RH: I never felt that Charmaine was disloyal. I’m gonna give it to her just like I’d give it to Danielle. We brought you in the shop initially as Kat’s friends and when it was time for me to remove myself from those people, if they had to pick sides I couldn’t ask them to pick my side. If that woman and I weren’t in a comfortable space together I wouldn’t want her to come back and work whenever she wanted. She didn’t even live in Chicago, she lived in LA. So after we have a bad run in I’m not gonna say “Hey, come back and work whenever you want.” Like right now, we shouldn’t be working together. So for them to go against what I say for this business, that’s where I felt the disrespect. But that’s what I expect from them, those are Kat’s friends. In terms of the cast overall, who do you still have a relationship with? RH: Me and Phor, we went to high school together. That’s always been my brother, since before tattooing, and his brother Don had to handle what he had to do for business, but they always been my brothers. Even Danielle, I talked to Danielle, there’s no hard feelings. It looked like I just turned my back on everybody and they left me, but it gets hard over there too! There’s a lot that you’ll see on this new season. Did you want to clear the air at all, about the way the shop was destroyed? RH: You see what happened, you see what was implied, you only get 42 minutes to get a whole story on television. I would never admit to doing something as heinous as thatk, but you know things happen. If people wanna blame me for that, just like they’d try to blame me for something else, I ain’t locked up so, PROVE IT. Do you feel like “Black Ink” ruined 9Mag? RH: I don’t think it ruined 9 Mag. 9 Mag is the experience people get when they walk in to get a tattoo, it’s a great representation of Chicago and will continue to be that. I do feel like it ruined the relationships between people. That may be my fault because I brought people together to grow and be something better than themselves. Everybody can’t handle it. So what is the status of the new 9Mag? RH: Even in the first episode, what made people think it looked like I walked away, 9Mag is not that building, it’s wherever we take the experience, so stay tuned and you’ll see what’s coming for the new 9Mag. So is the shop open and ready right now? RH: I’m always working, but the shop will be open very soon and you’ll see we’re pretty much live with it. As it airs is as we’re opening. Hit the flip to find out what Ryan had to say about the status of his relationship with Rachel and whether he’s open to reconciling with any of his former team.

Parents Of R. Kelly’s Alleged ‘Hostage’ Jocelyn Savage Say The Singer Gave Their These TWO STDs

Noam Galai/Getty Images Jocelyn Savage’s Parents Allege That R.Kelly Gave Their Daughter STDs The parents of the woman they believe is being “held captive” by R. Kelly are speaking out. The Pied Piper’s ex-wife Andrea Kelly appeared on “Sister Circle” Wednesday for an exclusive sit-down with host Syleena Johnson where she detailed abuse allegations at the hands of the singer. According to Drea she initially wasn’t strong enough to accept that she was a victim of domestic violence, but she is now. “You have to love somebody enough to tell them enough,” said Andrea. “I don’t believe my ex-husband has enough people in his life to be real with him to be honest with him. I wasn’t strong enough. “How can I be a voice for the voiceless when I don’t have my own?” she added. “I had to get to a point to accept that I’m a victim of domestic violence.” Later Jocelyn Savage’s parents came out and told the hosts that their daughter who they STILL believe is being held against her will was diagnosed with two STDS; herpes and chlamydia after sleeping with the singer. As previously reported another woman in Texas alleged that R. Kelly gave her the untreatable herpes virus and is currently suing him. What do YOU think about Andrea Kelly and Jocelyn Savage’s parents speaking on R. Kelly??? See more of Andrea’s Sister Circle interview on the flip.
