This.
And only because this statement transcends this one situation and hits a very large nail on the head.

If Wal-mart had actually made the black people leave... now that would have been news and worthy of some action.

They are still 100% responsible for who they hire.
Don't like it? Don't open a business.

I understand that. But all they can do is fire him. Which they will. So there's no point in "demanding answers".

Yes because the store is responsible for a stupid prank.

Butt-hurt dipshits.

An arrest was made in this case. It was a shopper.

What would realy make me LOL is if it were a black guy who did it as a joke.

Now they will sue walmart for having the phones too accessible. All they need to do is change the code for the overhead speakers and this shouldnt be a problem.

Arrested on what charge? Comandeering a store's PA system is now a crime? Or are they going to call it "inciting a riot" or "hate speech"? What if it was a Black person who did it, would it still be hate speech?

Oh, and I love the grammar in this post:

Quote:
They should fine out who did that cause that is a hate crime. It should not be tolerated. and if they research the cameras they will see who did it and what is taking so long.?

this is not right for no one to go through that. Walmart should take full responsibility with what goes on in their store.
WALMART STAND UP TO THE PLATE AND RECOGNIZED WHAT THIS HAS DONE . SO IT WONT REPEATS ITSELF .!!!!
