You are hilarious. You are accusing me of being oversensitive yet you started getting overly sensitive when I stereotyped White Walmart shoppers. You got your feelings hurt that you started stalking me on other threads. According to you, people are being sensitive if the comments are directed at Blacks but if they are directed at Whites then people are being ignorant and discriminatory. You have to love the double standard the Right holds.
No AZ, What I was getting at was if you are going to not be politically correct you have to hold it to both sides of the argument.
You are the one being unfair. You attack Wal Mart and the alleged "white trash" that shop there then when someone attacks your point of view its being oversensitive.
It really makes no sense on your part. I am for political incorrectness on all sides of the coin. You are only politically incorrect when it suits your side of the argument.
Bottom line is it was a stupid action, by who ever got on that speaker.
They were idiots but so is anyone who wants to prosecute that person.
Do you believe this should be a prank punished as a bias hate crime?
I think whoever did it should obviously be fired but prosecuted I am not sure about.
'bias hate crime'...what the hell does that even mean? Hate crimes are b.s.
Although sadly I'm sure there will be plenty on here who agree with you that they should be charged as a 'bias hate crime'. Luckily they said 'black' and not white, because of course that's the only way it's bias
Suppose they had said All Jews must leave the WALMART.
Depends on the age group. But Azriver would have no problem with that one. And it would not make the news.
If it were old Jews they would probably never shop there again. They would not be asking for prosecution they just would leave the store and not come back.
Younger generation of Jews would probably laugh it off.
Not a hate crime, no one was harmed. A dumb joke. Probably some stupid kid got ahold of the PA system.
The article says they're offering counseling to those affected? That's a bit much, and I'm a supporter of hate crime laws. They need to be used in the appropriate situations, not in a dumb situation like this.
The employee could be fired and the black people in the store could vote with their pocketbook and take their business elsewhere.
