1. I was hoping it would end with the manager firing her.

2. Damn!....What kind of screwed-up crap is this?? I'd like to invite those guys out to dinner..

...and apologize for that nasty racist bullshit.

Here's the BIG thing> I went to lowe's this afternoon and 3 cops cars were there. 2 guys had a whole F*cking cart of DeWalt tools
(Dewalt tools are Expensive++) and they walked out of the store...Nobody stopped them.

Want to guess what color they were?? (Think of snow)

What a timely post! Geez..

4. If I saw that kid I would see him just like any other kid

but clearly a lot of people don't which is sad.

11. Instead of watching the tool thieves a security team was probably watching an old black lady.

3. My German/English hubby does all our shopping at WALMART

As an African American i find it an extremely dangerous place to shop. I prefer COSTCO. Much much safer place to shop. It's a class thing.

7. I agree I don't go often but it is full of Mary's and customers like Mary who could be violent

One Mary went off on this poor black clerk because she told her she would have to get her cigarettes at another counter she can not leave her counter to get her cigs. You get them you damn n,,,,,you g,,,,,f,,n,,,,blah blah did not stop no one one saying a word in a long line this just went on and on sick of it I told moved up and said stop yelling at that poor women and you are holding up the line just kept it up wow then I went up to the front and got security who I told them in a calm manner what was happening this lady is going nuts on a clerk and won't leave on the edge of getting violent and holding up the line .. . He acted like I was trouble and seemed like he was going to get confrontational with ME wtf??

Walmart you are right is a class thing

I also worked in Iowa for a while and coming from Chicago I didn't expect when I walked in a dept store all the bells would go off .Over and over and of course can I help you can I help you can I get something for you following around . No one else being bothered as they shop off the racks
Was I dusty and disheveled like many whites in Iowa who come in to shop from the farms?
no I was there to make about 75K in the early '90's and dressed in business attire
I asked non whites at work and the P O C were like do you know you are in Iowa, one of the whitest states in the country?

I laughed and said if they did that in Chicago to every brown and black person entering most of the stores in downtown Chi the bells would never stop!!

5. Hello

This is WalFart...see what you get for trying to find those "lower" prices...

6. This happens all too often,

has been happening throughout our nation's history, and will continue to happen until patriarchy and privilege are eliminated.

These bigots are pitiable, fearful, hate-mongering people. Their lives must be shallow and unfulfilled.

8. I'll just come out and say it

WalMart is not known for hiring the pick of the litter.

It's an all around cheap ass company, and when you pay cheap and do everything on the cheap, that's the caliber of employee you are going to get: ignorant, racist and paranoid.

9. ^^^This!^^^

12. +1 You nailed it.

13. not true

WalMart employees are not inherently inferior people.

10. Mary is watching too much Fox "News".

It's a dirty shame how the right has made race relations even worse. Clearly it is a goal. To what purpose I have no earthly idea.
