Personally I think its funny, if I heard over walmart PA "All white people leave the store" I wouldn't be offended I would just laugh. Obviously the person has no real authority to tell people to leave the store. Just some moran playing a joke. Shouldn't of been said but not really a big deal. The lady who complained just wants her 5 minutes of fame.


And I bet if someone did that people would probably think it was still racist to black people by implying that blacks are poor or something and are the people who need to stay at Walmart. (since Walmart has awesome prices.)

No one ever thinks of white racism, only black racism.

I agree it was in really bad taste, whoever played the joke. (It had to be a joke by an employee or another customer) I hear they are looking at survellince tapes trying to pin down who it was. I also agree if it is determined to be an employee, they should be fired on the spot. If it was a customer, I suppose you could ban them from the store. I think they need to secure their PA system, have a code to punch in before it works or something.

There is a code. It is usually the number of the store. And no that doesn't mean go get on the PA speakers at Wal-Mart to announce your referral link to everyone...

It's just crappy that stuff like this happens at all. It isn't worth a boycott, but why do we need to pick on each other in the year 2010?

Poor Wal-Mart  :-[  First the guy with the baseball bat to all the tvs in the electronics department, now a crazy employee/customer making a fool of themselves and being racist.  I personally wouldnt hold that against Wal-Mart as a whole, I don't shop there anyway, but that's because I can't stand the company.

I don't think it was a very good thing to say.  I don't think it's an employee who said it ans I don't think Walmart is to blame for what is said.  They are to blame, though, for the fact that the PA system was in a location where anybody could have access to it, especially because I'm sure this wasn't the first incident they've had, just the most offensive.

I dont think it is walmarts fault and they should not be blamed. hopefully security cameras will show who it was so that the individual can be held liable.

ANYONE can pick up ANY phone in walmart and press #67 and make what ever announcement they want ...

Personally I think its funny, if I heard over walmart PA "All white people leave the store" I wouldn't be offended I would just laugh. Obviously the person has no real authority to tell people to leave the store. Just some moran playing a joke. Shouldn't of been said but not really a big deal. The lady who complained just wants her 5 minutes of fame.


And I bet if someone did that people would probably think it was still racist to black people by implying that blacks are poor or something and are the people who need to stay at Walmart. (since Walmart has awesome prices.)

That is very true! I have found many times that I am picked on for being the only white person at various times. I actually date a black man so um yeah ...

While I don't think the comment was a joke, I also don't think it is necessary to go overboard with protest or boycotts. The comment and the media aftermath are just sad commentaries on how far we haven't come. In our current atmosphere of political correctness, you would think we would finally get it, it's just a shame that some people never will.

They have just arrested a 16 year old kid on charges of harrassment and intimidation. I sorta half way get harrasment, but intimidation? Seriously?

I think all the Chuck E. Cheese incidents are way worse, but this is still bad.

That is just crazy.  I can not believe that some one would actually do that.  I would never even think of that.
