Gun shop advertisement affixed to front page of Charleston, South Carolina Post and Courier the day after a racially-motivated massacre in which nine people were shot dead at a church in the city. The flyer stuck to The Post and Courier offered a $30 (£19) deal for Thursday, which is “ladies’ night”, just miles away from the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. For that price ATP Gun Shop gives women a pistol or revolver, 50 rounds of ammunition, eye and ear protection, access to a shooting range, an instructor and a souvenir T-shirt.: photo via The Independent, 19 June 2015
Sail Away
In America you'll get food to eat
Won't have to run through the jungle
And scuff up your feet
You'll just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day
It's great to be an American
Ain't no lions or tigers
Ain't no mamba snake
Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake
Ev'rybody is as happy as a man can be
Climb aboard, little wog
Sail away with me
Sail away
Sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away
Sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
In America every man is free
To take care of his home and his family
You'll be as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree
You're all gonna be an American
Sail away
Sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away
Sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
