NEW YORK - The owner of a Carvel Ice Cream this month is responsible for calling a black man “nigger” at Jacob Riss Beach, according to the victim and his friend.

Fire told Redding News Review that he was called "nigger" by the owner of the ice cream stand on the beach on Sunday July 31.

His friend told Redding News Review that Fire, who is black, was selling his popular nutcraker drink at Jacob Riss, a queer beach just outside of Manhattan.

The friend said he was selling the drink when the owner started taking pictures of him and other nutcracker sellers.

Nutcrackers, which originated in New York City, are a hard liquor-laced drink mixed with a fruity juice.

The friend said that the U.S. Park Police were present during the confrontation, but authorities had no record of the incident.

We want everyone to feel welcome, said a spokesman who urged Fire to file a police report.

Redding News Review spoke to an employee at the Carvel stand and he confirmed that the owner his “boss” did call Fire a "nigger."

One other seller of the nutcracker drink said the owner's behavior is part of a pattern of racism and bigotry.

“He talks about the Mexicans too,” he told Redding News Review.

A call to Carvel for comment was not returned at press time.
