If so, don't you have zoning laws?

We have zoning here where they're built in light commercial and retail zone areas.

I've been in WMs in NY state, PA, TN, IN and that's been my experience.

Most Walmart's here are not "in the ghetto". Plenty of people from the cities take buses to Walmarts which are in the burbs. Honestly, I've been more frightened lately at Walmart because of the white truckers that are allowed to hang there. Somehow Walmart allowing tractor trailers so truckers can get some rest has turned into campers and oversized pickups tailgating and drinking.

Do you see the hypocrisy?
But the mods need to do their jobs and not allow racism. I like this site for many reasons, but the classism and racism on all these boards has given this website a reputation.

Thanks in advance.
I heard about that mess at the Cottonwood Walmart: those anglo whites acted like fools and, go put in their place. It is what it is, I DON'T defend their kind either. Too; even tho 1 of them got dropped by a cop, I'm guessing very few other white people even thought about rioting over "excessive force" or something like that.

Thank you for responding in place of someone else who vanished. The difference here, is that when somebody White commits a crime, it is a reflection on that very person or persons who committed the act, when a Black person commits a crime, some all star posters see it as reflection on the ENTIRE Black race. Do you see the difference and have you noticed it here on C-D?

Look at some of the posts in the first two pages of this thread, do you think we'll see those same racial remarks about the White people fighting the cops at a Walmart?

Low prices.

You have no proof of that. Not that the truth matters to you.

I get where you are coming from but don't you want to know who you are dealing with?

You mean like "PWT"? Cause that's what those fools were; hood rats who ain't "Black".
