I guess someone at Wal-Mart went over the P.A. system and said "Attention, Wal-mart customers: All black people, leave the store now."
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Black-people-must-leave-NJ-apf-1749619349.html?x=0Some people are super angry about it and are going to boycott the store. Well actually I don't think it's some people, it just a lady and her friend (so far I guess). I personally think they should get over it. It's not like the president of Wal-Mart said it himself (herself?). It was probably just another customer anyhow. I mean you don't blame the soup if a fly lands on it do you? I'm pretty sure Wal-Mart has some employee rules that state "Please don't pick out a certain race and ask them to leave the store."
The lady that wants to boycott said that "I depended on Walmart for all my needs, because the store has pretty much everything you could want" and "But until this issue is addressed in a way I'm comfortable with, I can't walk through those doors again." That sounds like someone who is going to have her issues addressed with gift cards to be comfortable. Who gets angry at a store then say it has pretty much everything you could want? If I was angry at a store I would say something like: "I really liked it before this incident, but now I'm going to burn this mother down."
It was most likely a joke. A really bad one, but a joke none the less. I don't even shop at Wal-Mart so this isn't a really big deal for me. I just think some people take some bad things and run a little too far with it. I'm pretty sure one of you is thinking: "Hey you don't understand because you're not black!" Well for one, how did you know? And two, if someone went over the P.A. system at a store I shopped at and said: "All mixed race shoppers, leave the store." I actually think I would find it funny and wouldn't try to boycott everything that moved. But that's just me. Any thoughts?
