If you want to punish Walmart, don't shop there and protest by not showing up. Companies could care less until you hit them where it counts...their wallet.
If anything, it just shows the white trash nature of Walmart in general...some guy can get on their intercom and make statements like this. Why do I have a feeling this wouldn't happen in Target or a more upscale store.
way to generalize and stereo type. You are just like the very people you are attacking. So sad.
Remember this scene two Christmases ago at Wal Mart?
Az you have issues. You would laugh at other people's expense who you may not agree with but when it offends you there is a major problem.
You are just like the white trash you talk about in your previous post.
And you lack intelligence to understand distinctions. I'm not like those white trash because I'm not going on an intercom and making those comments. Yeah, you forgot about that big distinction there my friend. The people who ask others to lighten up are often the biggest hypocrites because when it's a joke that is offensive to them, they don't lighten up
If someone would have paged "All white people must now leave the store" nobody would have said anything and this would not be an issue.
Sure racism is wrong. But People are stupid. No need to fill up our prisons with people that didnt commit a crime. We have enough innocent people in prison as it is.
I think its funny that its only racism when it is targeted at a black, asian, hispanic person or anything not white. When a Black person assaults a white person, its just a crime. When a white person assaults a black person its a top news story, racism, and a crime.
Stop being blind people. I went into a store where I live that targets Blacks and Hispanic for their clothing. I went in to browse their goods cause something caught my eye. I was in there store for 20min looking around, walked by several associates and all I got was weird looks. Not one person offered to help me. I think stores like these should be illegal. Targeting a specific race as a market is racism towards the races left out.
This is YOUR assumption Not everyone else's. Racism is NOT funny no matter who it targets and unless you've spoken to the 200 + Americans, your statement is just as ascenine as the IDIOT who thought their prank was funny. I would be offended NO MATTER what race was spewed over the loud speaker. That is a place of business, take the practical jokes outside.
Sorry..I did chuckle when I read this. We're so PC these days it's not funny anymore.
Bad joke yes. Punishment yes. Hate crime..no..just a sad anti-PC joke.
Like a previous poster stated..if they said "All white people must leave the store" I'd chuckle too.
I don't see it as a hate crime. I don't see it as an act of racism. I see it as a prank involving race, nothing more.
Dont see any "white trash" at this walmart do we AZ?
Maybe you should look in the mirror before you spew ignorance.
and its further comedy when you classify Target as a "more upscale store".
So you show one picture of African Americans at a Walmart and extrapolate that to include all Walmarts. Nice reasoning! Do you think the majority of Walmarts in the country resemble that scene or one with a lot of white trash. I think you know the answer to that.

Oh you speak for all of them. And furthermore you have no clue who was on the PA system. And You have no clue about the location of this wal mart. No clue at all.
As stated you have a great abundance of ignorance.

Keep proving my point . you obviously cannot comprehend my posts so wee will leave it at that.
This thread is starting to get ugly. Bottom line, its not about PC, no matter the race, its not laughable its Ignorance pure and simple and for anyone to stated that if it was a comment made againsts whites and blacks wouldn't get offended, just the thought of that scenerio as well pisses me off.

People like that don't need any clues. They have all the answers because "they know". People like that tend to dictate how Americans should behave..all based on how they feel. Extremists are bad for America for that very reason.
There are laws against stupidity and it is not a defense. Aw but he didn't mean any harm doesn't get it
