We all agree racism = bad. That said, walmart did nothing wrong, apologized for the remarks, that should be the end of it. It wasnt walmarts fault.

Not every racist comment needs to be met with nationwide outrage. Racism isnt going anywhere, and instead of being offended by it, black people need to learn to ignore this small minority, that wont change no matter how much you may want them to.

Fact is, fast forward 50-100 years, and theres still going to be a small pocket of racist people in the world. So instead of fighting over it, get over it.

And thats not directed towards you James, just something I see in general. Theres no reason to be offended by the words of a racist their opinion is their own, not walmarts.
It said they didn't know if it was a customer or a employee. They have a right to be mad. And they can boycott they store for any reason. If they tried to sue or have a big rally against Wal Mart then I would agree that its bullshit.

Yes racism will be around for a long time. There was a cross burned in someones yard a few weeks ago.

The people in that story said they want to see how its taken care off before they shop there again. I don't see a problem with that.

Why should they be mad at Wal-Mart though? Even if it was an employee, there's nothing Wal-Mart could have done to prevent it.

A woman and her friend who were in the store at the time made a statement to reporters that they are boycott the store until this is resolved (I repeat...TWO friends) and you guys are getting your outrage on.

some other reactions to the Walmart "controversy"

Because it happen in Wal Mart on their system. It could have been an employee as well.

Like I said they want to see how the store deals with it before they shop there again.

If it was a black person that made the announcement does that make it reverse reverse racism or does it cancel out and become non racist?

And no, there's no such thing as reverse racism. Racism is friggin racism, but you know someone did this as a joke. If they wanted to be really racist and nasty they'd have been lynching or something.

This was probably some retarded teenager.

MASSIVE FRACKING UPDATE!!!!

I now know what was significant about the two ladies (Patricia Covington and Sheila Ellington) who said they were gonna boycott.

Quote:
Ellington, an attorney and member of the Gloucester County Minority Coalition, said that the incident was a clear bias crime.
...
Ellington said that she will not shop at the store until Wal-Mart changes its P.A. system, and a suspect - whether it is an employee or customer - is caught.
This isn't racial outrage
This lawyer + "I'm an upstanding member of the community"

She might as well be wearing a leopard print and rock a Jennifer Anniston haircut.

Ah, that explains it. Lets all sue walmart for something someone else did, employee or not it was a non walmart endorsed announcement but lets remove the PA so if you ever DO need assistance no one will ever be able to help you because by the time they make it to the back for help answering your question they'll have gotten lost and forgotten it anyway.

Ellington is a 49 year old lawyer active in local politics\organizations.

When your around enough politicians (full of themselves ego maniacs- pandering to whomever will toss a vote) have made it past the innocent "try and make a difference" phase that all politicians and community "leaders" on there way around the block bust through about....

Listen...tenderbuns

Old Sheila has supplied the standard reaction that any seasoned veteran in the political arena would give. White black hispanic...whatever


I am "shocked" and concerned.
I will see this through to a resolution.
(I will be able to use this at the next community meeting to show them that I am in touch with community issues)
Toss in female mid life crisis.
FUCKING
BY
THE
BOOK.

Any one with a foot in politics would put out a similar message.
