ok, I will take your word for it. I do watch 5 every night and in the early morning and can't understand how i missed it or how no one I know who watches 5 saw it. As for NBC we do not watch it: We watch 5, CNN, PBS and FOX for most of our news.
I might be wrong and thanks for clarifying that but it doesn't make up for the statements the poster made, indicating I am a racist or saying Bentonville is only 5 miles from where I live. Evan if you are at Town Center you are more than 5 miles from exit 93 which as you know is more, the first Bentonville turnoff. And we all know Centerton is a heck of a lot further from Bella Vista than Bentonville is.

However, there were no Yahoo stories and Wal mart does not issue statements. The only reason this is a *story* is because of the races involved. If it had been reversed, you'd have never heard about it. The media is a joke these days and responsible for a lot of the divisiveness in the country. They are very one-sided on most issues.

Hubby said pretty much the same thing this morning: as he put it: and this is Yahoo news? .

My point is that the should be one-sided, against racism.

You're still not getting it. The media would have been completely silent had the races been reversed, and that's how the mainstream media is one-sided. What happened in this video is hardly even an "incident", it was racial slurs thrown around at a Wal Mart. I experienced similar instance against myself while pumping gas in McComb. No story was written. No one else really cared.

I do get it.

The media shouldn't be completely silent if it's a case of black versus white racism. The media, and all of us, should be outspoken against ALL racism.
