'All black people' told to leave NJ Wal-Mart

Prank or otherwise, this incident shows the total disregard someone has for black folk, their safety, and their well being. This isn't funny, but very serious and it needs to be investigated thoroughly. Even if that particular Wal-Mart starts feeling the effects of a massive boycott there is no guarantee the lone phantom voice over will not strike again unless there are some policy changes and or security changes.

If someone would have said all white people get out of the store, it wouldn't even have made the news. So the black people are boycotting. They use food stamps anyway.

The women who are boycotting Wal-Mart say they teach tolerance at home. Do they also teach that one should get all the facts before they rush to judgment? We don't know that the person who made the announcement is in any way associated with Wal-Mart.

In response to Vicki Harris.You racist peice of shit once a moth bleeding bitch.There are more white food stamp receipeints than black.Further more bitch im a blood bring that shit to saint louis, missouri.You stupid inbred trailer trash jerry springer peice of shit.Bitch get a life.DDDont degrade my race your president is black you punk rock slut bitch.

It is so unfortunate that this type of situation is still happening. If I was any other race besides black in that Walmart, I would have been concerned as well. I would wonder if someone was going to harm all other race of people left in the store or all blacks people when they left the store. There is so much wickness and evil intentions in the world today. May God help and save this person.

Excuse me Vicki Harris??? I double dare you to say such blant ignorance in my face or let alone my counterparts....You Racist Prejudice B***H. By all mean, I am African American and I am highly offended by your faulty assumption. By the way, I have a Master's of Science Degree working on a Doctorate. Perhaps, you meant all white people who live in trailer parks use food stamps…….

LOL, Vicki Harris, you are beyond a hot mess troll, and, while it was a vile prank, and, I refuse to be offended by it, to use your inaccurate food stamps quip is more offensive, but, I guess you must have used them to know Walmart accepts them. I live in a mainly white area and seen far more whites with them than anyone else, and, the same ones getting into their Lexus's afterwards, so, yet another GOP voting churl without a clue posting here.

Comments like those of Vicki Harris just futher proves the point that we have a LOOONG way to go. I have a Masters Degree in International Business and have worked very hard to achieve the success that I have. As for all blacks using food stamps, I've moreso witnessed blacks picking up a 2nd job to support their families before settling for food stamps, only using them as a last resort. Statistically speaking 34.9% of food stamp receipients are black in comparison to 42.3% of whites. I, personally, have never received food stamps but how dare you try to lump an entire race into one pot like that. I guarantee you if someone requested that all whites leave the store, there would have been the same out cry as there is now. Whether prank or serious, it was a total lack of sensitivity for humanity, period.

Given that "Racism" is no respecter of racial origin, has anyone considered the posibbility that the person making the offending announcemnt could be a racist black person.

Racism is the belief that a person believes that they are better by race than another person of a different race. By that definition I have seen more racism from the black community than I the white community. I am an elec engineer with a masters degree, and I believe that both whites and blacks are racist but the blacks are just more vocal about their hatred of white people. Where is White Entertainment Television, where is the NAAWP, why can my kids not get a "minority" scholarship even if their grads don't qualify them. I believe in true equality. This world of hyper political / racial sensitivity is absurd. Oh by the way, Barrack is White! He is 50/50 white/black, but was raised by white people. So he was never raised as a black child so he is probably more white than black.

To vickie harris, check your data more white people use food stamps than any other race.

Vicki Harris...I would love to meet you in the streets of Miami-Dade County Florida...You would never make a comment like that again.

Vicki is so stupid and out of touch with reality. The truth is there are more white people on public assistance (food stamps and welfare) than black. But obviously her intelligence is far to the left of the bell curve to be able to read. It's sad for anyone of any color to need public assistance. Instead of pointing fingers and saying those people are on public assistance Vicki you should do some soul searching if you even have one. Possibly you should also read more than just glamour magazines and maybe just maybe you may find a way to make it out of the trailer of your parents home to become a part of the human race.

More on Walmart & Blacks story... Jan Heller of the Philly News ALSO included this in her story: “Law enforcement is examining surveillance tapes inside the store. But the P.A. system can be accessed from 25 telephones in the building, and not all are within camera range, said Bernie Weisenfeld, spokesman for the prosecutor. The 24-hour superstore has about 700 employees, many of them part-time, and some of the store's phones are accessible to the public, Weisenfeld said”.

First of all Betty Boop this isn't about rushing to judgment this is business. In the cutthroat world of retail, there is no time and room for stupidity as the competitors are waiting for a f$%%up. Now you tell me how would you feel if because of a stupid person your store sales dropped I can assure you that the manager of the store won't be manager anymore and his reaction time of 5 minutes was unacceptable.

Currently I am working on my masters degree in school counseling. We are in a multi-cultural class. Hearing this story and seeing the out-pour of responses bothers me. What ever happened to "treat people the way you would want to be treated"... and it upsets and bothers me that everyone is so quick to point fingers. People are people.... White people and black people are equal... but this world is still so screwed up with ignorant people, that racism will never end.. Ignorant people won't help change this world... and stupidity will continue.. Unless people step up and take some initiative and put an end to it. It could have been anyone that made this announcement, there were a couple good ideas on here. All in all... the announcement was wrong and this person should be caught for it and get in trouble with the court system for creating such a problem.

wooow washington blood gang...you just made the black race look worse then vikki...she said a simple ignorant comment and you exploded in arrogance you should be embarresed..btw what thehell is s blood doing on the internet you peice of shit gang bangin theif..obama dosnt care about people like you

Racism IS a two-way street but the oppression associated with it is only perpetrated by one race...the "old (white) boy's clubs" to keep all others out of any meaningful and powerful positions. Oh, and by the way..."White Entertainment Television, where is the NAAWP, why can my kids not get a "minority" scholarship even if their grads don't qualify them" these are all responses to the oppression we've faced and continue to face in hopes to break into these "old (white) boy's clubs". So, stop crying reverse racism. You're sitting pretty just by existing as a white person. ps. you are right on another account...white people are less vocal about being racist, true. Which is the problem. No one outside the visible minority wants to admit it exists. Which is why it's so hard to evolve past this petty bu||$h!t. This is yet another example of how far we still must go...

I don't understand why you all have given Vicki the time of day on this. It's clear that her purpose was to incite and willingly be the recipient of a barrage of attacks. That was the game plan. No point in giving her exactly what she wants. It's the Glen Beck Rush Limbaugh Shock Treatment. Say something way beyond the edge of common sense and sit back while laughing.

Racism is a two-way street, if you are unable to get your children "minority" scholarships, then you are horribly inept as a parent. A very dear white friend was awarded a "minority" scholarship to attend Grad School at Morehouse. Another female friend (white) was awarded an engineering scholarship BECAUSE she was a woman (minority). So again, blame your ineptness as a parent not the system being stacked against you.

By the way, who are the blacks that have professed their hatred of whites?

How come everyone on this board has a Master's degree? Where can I get one... Walmart perhaps?

If someone is black , white , asain , chineese , theres always going to be racism . Not the race them self , just ignorance of some people , so lets not blame the whole race . And wether someone is on welfare food stamps...ect that matters not , i think everyone alive in this world is successful just for making it through this daily struggle and not taking any easy way out.Correct me if im wrong but ones actions should not obstruct a whole race.

It's sad that there are still racists in the world today. It's great to see people from all different backgrounds and different skin tones altogether, whether it be in a restaurant, at a ball game, shopping, wherever. And I do think the younger generation for the most part doesn't care where anyone is from. But then you do have the select few that reminds everyone that some people don't view everyone as equal in this world yet, and we do have a long way to go in terms of race relations.

As long as there are humans, you will get the Vicki Harris' of the world, and, sadly, there are racists in all races, some, are just more buffoonish online where they can hide and spew. Racists, like homophobes and other hate mongers come in all sizes, shapes and colors, and, all are that way as they were taught it as a child. This sounds like some silly kid and a prank, but,it should be investigated to make sure it does not happen again and that the thoughts do not extend to the hiring office.

And, for the poster qho had the question about White Entertainment TV, guess you've not yet been acquainted with Fox News?

Blacks were made fun of over a P.A. system... Yawn... Who cares! Black people have alot more to be worried about, than some "Meth-head" white kid gettin their rocks off by saying something goofy at Walmart. Perspective people, put this into perspective. While I agree with them handling it with law enforcement, we as a people have bigger fish to fry. And Vicki, I agree with Midwestguy, she was just fishing for a reaction, Young blood gang, or whatever your name is, dont let nobody push your buttons, and pull your strings. This is the internet, it's not like you will ever see any of these people on here. Get some fresh air people.

Who are you people kidding! Black people are always the ones involved in theft in stores, in murdering innocent people they are always waving guns around threatening others, they are racist and impossible to get along with, always crying someone had been mean to them,,,whaaaaaa, because they were slaves! Well let me tell you, Black folks were not the only ones that were ever slaves, the Jews, the Irish and many others were slaves and you don't hear them crying, get over yourself, you never spent a single day as a slave, this is the 21 century and you are an American, stop your stupid pity party and grab the opportunities. Take care of your children, marry and be faithful to your wife. You have no credibility because of how you conduct yourselves, and it's disgusting.. and yes, most white people feel that way about you and are afraid to say it because of PC, but it's time you were told how you appear to others. Black people never take responsibility for any of the crap they cause, the destruction of our society, and the hate they dole out. I was never prejudice until you moved next door to me and I can't stand you now that I know you! If someone said this over the store PA system, then deal with it, you're not that damn sensitive nor are you that damn special! Shut the hell up!

I was raised military and I am NOT racist at all. How can anyone "blame" wal-mart for this incident?This is obviously not their "corporate policy" or even their doing. Why can't we all just be Americans and get along with each other? Drop the African-American already...choose one nationality and let go of the past. White people don't go around saying German-American, or French-American, or Spanish American, etc.....we are just Americans. I was way more upset about the Kanye thing against Taylor (which was obviosly racially motivated!!!) because he did not try to do it anonomously, but rather in a very public format. Kanye should be banned from all future awards programs. I am sure that comment will stir some racism. Every race has its good and bad representatives.

to Young, Black and Beautiful, Your kids can't get into certain schools for the same reasons other races can't get into them, THEY ARE FULL, this is not some plot...and the constant accusation is just making the rest of us mad and sick of you. Why are you crying oppression and racism, life is about hard work, and commitments, it's about negotiating with others and it's about kindness towards others. I'm sick of the abuse black people dole out, like it's my fault their lives are so miserable!

I work security for a retail store and I have caught every race shoplifting, but I must say black people are filled with so much hate. Never in my life have I been treated so awful and its not just by one or two people but hundreds... Its like they are monters who have no control and just lie, cheat and steal contunuously... Over and over again. I keep in contact with many security agents in other retail stores and they all have the same issues with black people... They come into stores and just take whatever they feel like, like its theres and walk out of the store. Many of them have pulled guns, pepper sprayed people and even beat others for this merchandise. When I finally do arrest them and get them back into the store its because im a rascist white B****!!! They never want to own up for the terrible things they put others in society through.

GO VIKKI!!!! Tell it like it is!!!!!

I aint complainin i get paid billz to sit on my A** to raies my own kidz....

Washington Blood gang,and Lamour Gaston you really make the point for some folks who are commenting here. You would really consider killing someone because you didn't like their comment? That is extremely uneducated and barbaric of you. Some of the rest of you are so high and mighty and yet do not see that you are very disgustingly racist, and I'm not talking just white folks, blacks folk are just as guilty and have just as far to go. You need to make sure your own house is clean before you point the finger at others. I think we do own some responsibility in that we have become very threatening when someone speaks their mind. See it not as a judgement against you but as a gift, if it fits, wear it, if it doesn't toss it aside.

to vikcki/porsha/terry...i have done a little research and found out that white people DO use food stamps more so than black people..so next time you make comments like that go to your public library(considering yu kno how to get there!) and do some research! Terry-um, not ALL black people use guns,curse,rob&kill people..there are sum crazy white people out there too..i am disgusted by that kind of statement! and yu also stating that black people don't take "responsibility" for their actions...well i got news for yu kid..so do white..i have more white friends that their father or mother left them than i have black. yu are just a really stupid person and i think that since we live in 2010 maybe yu should try having sum other influnces in your in, to make yu aware of the bigger picture in life...ill pray for yu cause yu really need it!!

to Lamar..yu are very right!! love everything that yu wrote!! =]

Sweetie pie, looks like your the one that needs the library... I suggest looking for a dictionary... May help out with your statements...

I have to agree with Terry. However I also agree somewhat with Sweetie Pie -lovely name by the way :) I am as afraid of the Hillbillies as I am of so many black people. The thing is we have a natural born instinct that they taught all of us in pre-school...remember which of these things is not like the other. We are programed to put things in groups and if you have had a bad experience with one group, you tend to see them all as a whole. I've had bad experiences with black people since moving to California. I have been attacked, robbed and cursed at, and maybe it's because I chose the wrong town to live in, because they clearly want me to leave and have told me so. I would never treat anyone as these neighbors of mine treat me. So really I think it is time to honestly look at the situation. I do not hear anyone condemning all the bad behavior of these groups. No one seems terribly upset by the goings on, so you tend to believe in this whole groups eyes they view this behavior as acceptable.

Sandra, please read more accurately…I am not complaining about school enrollments. I merely quoted a previous comment made.
You pick any successful Black person, and there are many, and you’ll hear a story of hardwork and the hurdles they’ve had to overcome. To make it big minorities have to work twice as hard just to stand shoulder to shoulder with their non-minority counterpart. Do me a favor and take a census poll of the top tier jobs and tell me who occupies these positions. After you’ve done that please explain to me if you think minorities are just as capable to do these same jobs. There will be a disconnect between the two answers and I would love for you to explain that as well.
Responses such as yours only reflect and perpetuate the ignorance many live with. Until everyone understands and see the true ugliness that lies just beneath the pretty veneer there will be no true change. And, please don’t act like you live with such guilt about how Black people live. You live the life of a happy-go-lucky person on the outside looking in like we’re fish in a bowl. Until you walk a mile in another’s shoe please refrain from making uneducated comments and worse yet pretend like you’re carrying such pain inflicted on you by the many black people you’ve had contact with.
Fyi…a lot of Black people’s frustration (believe it or not) is from not being understood. When comments are made, it’s not the one comment that carries the weight of the pain. It’s the collective we carry from the day we’re born. It’s a constant barrage of various forms of disrespect we have to shoulder, deal with and then grin and bear it and move along like nothing has happened. Like a sore scab that’s constantly being picked, it will always be tender. Prime example the LA riots, the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back. Then we have those who have never experienced 1/10th of the garbage we have to bear telling us to get over it and we’re overreacting…now that’s strength and hard work my dear Sandra.
Still Young, Black and Beautiful

Vicki Harris - I assume that you were raised that way to make that type of a comment. Also, you may be uneducated and from the South. Where is the Confederate Flag, on your trailer?

Thank you, Vicki Harris ad JSUgradnMiami for perpetuating racial hate speech against blacks and whites. Very mature for people who claim to be educated.

To Vicki, and Terri. You are the typical white person in this country. You take the dumbies we have in our race, and try to lump all blacks in that group. You use the stupid stuff that some blacks do to try to rationalize the horrilble things whites have done to blacks in this country. This is the same rational the police use to racial profile. And you get away with it cause you have most of the government, law enforcement, and the media on your side. But the one person you dont have is God. And when you meet him, I promise you he will have something to say to you about how you treated his creation made in "HIS IMAGE". You will regret misstreating black people, I promise.

It was so clearly a prank by some past or former employee who knows how to punch in the right number to get the loud speaker.

This is why people in our race that do stupid stuff- drugs, gang violence, pimping, prostitution, theft, robbery, homicide, having babies without a clue of what parrenthood is. All of these things cost our race so much, in so many different ways. It takes away from the quality of life for those who live around these idiots. It puts a negative stigma on our people by those looking for an excuse, and a way to be comforted in their ignorance, and hate. But for the record. As Chris Rock so elequantly put it. Theres black folks, and theres N*ggas. I love black folk. And cant stand.... Niggs

wow terry. you are terribly ignorant! Blacks kill innocent people? How about all the WHITE serial killers that have been found out. Yes black people kill but so do white people. White people steal too. White people don't always take accountability for their actions as well. I can't believe all those horrible things that you said! I am a young black woman and I love all people NO MATTER what race they are. White people are NO BETTER than black people and vise versa. I am in tears right now (not that you will care) writing this message from reading all the horrible things you, vicki, and even blood have written. I love how far we have come from the times before, but like another person wrote way before me ... we still have a LONG way to go. But I am just going to keep in mind that as long as there are people who feel and think like me ... there will be changes made.

Still Young, Black and Beautiful have you ever looked at yourself and YOUR attitude? Everyone has hardships, everyone has times where life gets difficult, why do you feel you should be excused from life. Do you ever wonder why, of all the people on earth that you are the only group that is treated horrible? I can tell you it's got nothing whatever to do with your skin color. You all look fabulous, but most of you are so paranoid, and you are looking for any slight (the Walmart incident is the perfect example) If that was said to any other group, they'd laugh it off. This constant attitude is so offensive, I haven't done a thing to you, you don't know how I feel about you, but these assumptions are a problem for both of us, and they are a huge wall that will never come down until you stop this. Assume the best and you will get it. The rest of you with the trailer remarks...feel entitled to that do you?, rules of politeness do not apply to you when you don't feel like it? Even if someone says something stupid, do you have to own it? It all comes down to someones character, and constantly yelling "racist" just hasn't got the same effect it once did, because you have abused it. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, stand up and live your life. You are in America, not some third world country, you have it all! My gosh, you have no idea how off putting this is. I know African American people who are so secure and happy in their lives, why are the rest of you dwelling on how bad you are treated? You are listening to people like that Pastor Write, this is how the man makes money, by telling you lies, and you soak it up, there are too many like him. You are not treated any differently than anyone else. Until you see that, believe that, you will always see the bad and will never live up to your potential and be happy, no matter what anyone does. To the police haters, my father is a cop, he risks his life for all of you, daily, cops have issues with anyone behaving badly, of any color and isn't it handy to have someone to be the scapegoat for bad behavior. They see it all, if they have attitudes it's because of their experience, he goes to the ghetto and gets bottles thrown at his car, and he's not going to believe that you are up to no good...yah right. I can guarantee that the first time someone commits a crime against any of these people, they are the first to call the cops, even though they are the ones targeting the cops, cops come to their assistance, no matter who they are. It's a lie you are telling about cops, and will do nothing but harm people, because someone will believe you and it will be to their downfall. Don't bring God into this, you don't know enough to make that call. He is on no one's side. to Blacks/Niggs (hate that word, but it's the screen name you picked) I so agree with you and would give anything if it were not this way, because that is exactly the problem. If those that are against that behavior could help those that are living their life in this way, perhaps there is hope to fix this problem. It is so scary when you run into these people, even when you want to help, be friendly, there is no chance because you are called names and spit on. Unitl you see the real problem and address it instead of making white people the scape goats, nothing will ever be fixed and we will all feel bad. This is all on YOU.

to Still Young, Black and Beautiful one other thing..I have not gotten jobs, because men who had less experience were chosen over me, it happens a lot, so what, that can't define me...if they don't want me, why would I want to work there, someone out there always is happy to have me work for them, and I am happy to be where I am appreciated. Success is really happiness. Not everyone can get every job. LA riots??? why would you want to bring that up, that was terrible, it only hurt them, you get angry and burn down your neighborhood...what the heck? it was stupid! Yes, stop looking inward and look out! Make the most of your life, what you believe to be is not true and it is going to destroy your life. You're only here once and you are wasting it...stop.

It's ignorance in every race, not just one. Middle aged white guy I was in the military also and you know people yelling racist statements over the loud speaker would not be tolerable and it would be prevented at all cost. Maybe every1 shouldn't have access to the loud speaker. We as blacks have a right to feel uncomfortable about that. Racism does still exist STRONGLY, if you're not black you don't know some of the things we face, but opportunities exist as well, we all need to just stop the stupid racist sh*t and come together. This is stupid and it isn't making our nation get any stronger, we're already falling apart. Let's get this money ya'll!

Sarah, no I don't know why people like me have been historically treated horribly. I would love to see your analysis on that one -skin color had nothing to do with it. Was it our animal jungle nature? I'm not sure.

You don't know how Jews would respond had someone said on the loudspeaker "All Jews should leave the store now." I don't know how they would respond but I have an idea. I believe we would have seen a press release from the ADL. You think not?

If you know African-Americans who are happy with their lives, why are you on this board complaining that other african-americans should be like those you know. Like every other race, we are diverse in our opinions and achievements. We do not have to live like the other in order to survive. We can and do have competing thoughts. Rev. Wright has made his money by providing for his community as pastor and serving his country as a military man. Billy Graham, the man who called Jews the "synagogue to Satan" was a presidential advisor up until his death. White people have no issue listening to him.

We're not treated differently than anyone else? Did you type that with a straight face? I know that I am and have been treated differently. That has not stopped any progress that I have made - none at all. So contrary to your bad advice, you do not have to disavow yourself of the knowledge that blacks are treated differently. That fact does not have to be dismissed just to make those like you comfortable.

So what that your dad is a cop. Who really cares. His profession, like many, is occupied by people who do foul, crappy, racist, sexist shit. That's life and your dad being a cop does not make his others in his profession always uphold the law. Stop feeling sorry for your dad and get over yourself dwelling on how bad some people think of those in his profession.

I know that this is the world wide web and for that reason I am not surprised to find a thimblefull of whites and even blacks who have been "victimized" by blacks. I guess we're spitting (like chimps) on people now too.

VICKI- are you serious? Everybody use foodstamps! someone in your family probably use them. So what in the hell does foodstamps have to do with the issue at hand? Not a damn thing! Come on sweetie, get it together. TERRY- For Real? What are you reading about? This is about some igorant person telling all blacks to leave the store. Not theft or killing? Everyone steals and kills. When you go into prison, what do you see? Every race, not just one. PORSHA- Really?you are just as igorant as the other two. You all are grown ass men and women who are acting like uneducated, poorly-raised, narrow-mined, not up to date and foolish young teenagers. Wise up!! Stop focusing on blacks being the problem when every race has a flaw.

@ Vicki you are just the usual non sense white person that feel that black people use foodstamps. Just so that you will know, white people use foodstamps more than blacks and they are in the welfare lines more than blacks. There happen to be honest black people such as myself that actually work for a living and pay more tax dollars than yourself. So next time please think before posting your nonsense....

People, stop wasting your time with this bull*ish. There are more important things going on the Country.

Call your State Rep. in congress and tell them to vote YES on healthcare reform. We all need mental healthcare with this kind of ish going on!

They r da ppl who r easy lead n da wrong direction but hard 2 b lead n da right.....ppl who think da orginal blackman or woman can't afford 2 buy something out da store without stealin it is taught da wrong science about our history....which da true history wasn't taught n class....we build dis nation and u goin 2 tell us 2 leave a store.....y'all should leave da planet

IN MY OPINION:..... 1. Blacks/Niggs, AMEN, you and Chris Rock nailed it...not all black people are "niggs" and sadly, yep, there are many white people who are worse than some black people.....every race has its good and bad reps. 2. Brotha, You are correct too...I played high school in Hawaii which was 15% black, 11% white, and the rest polynesian. When we the "haoles" (white kids) traveled to the other side of the island, we literally had to wear our helmets AND shoulder pads back to the bus because "they" would throw rocks at us. I do feel you Brotha, and yes, we do ALL need to focus on making OUR nation stronger together. 3. Starsun, close your mouth before your brains run out on the floor...your ignorance is really showing...you sure are reppin your race well... 4. I really can NOT believe that noone commented on my Kanye statements...... Good and bad in all races.....

I believe Starsun's post just proved my previous point about the dumbed down language. It also translates to the written (if that's what you want to call it) word as well. r = are n = in 2 = to b = be ppl = people da = the dis = this Hopefully that's enough to help translate that dumbass's statement to English.

Quick, someone call Big Al and Jesse!!!!

Hey BJ instead of that, lets call Glen Beck, and Rush Limbaugh. Your talk radio gods. And in their sentencing for Rush's illegal drug use, and Beck's unlawfull comments about the president of the United States. Lets have their punishment be having Some project hood chick send her "BEBE'Kids to live with them for 6 months, and tear their plush mansions up from room to room. Since their not racist, and view all people the same, they could handle this sentence coulnt they? Al and Jessie have more intellect, class, and humanity than either of those jokes could ever dream of having.

Well, an arrest has been made, so, maybe some jail time will help the person who did it, which, I'm sure they will say was for fun.

to vicki,,,i am a hard working black woman who has never even seen a foodstamp, i am married to a white man and it dumb ass bitches like you who makes me want to kick a bitch like you ass,,,now reply to that.......so vicki please kiss my ass and come to my home new orleans and i will kick urs,,,,,,,,dumb bitch

to vicki,,,i am a hard working black woman who has never even seen a foodstamp, i am married to a white man and it dumb ass bitches like you who makes me want to kick a bitch like you ass,,,now reply to that.......so vicki please kiss my ass and come to my home new orleans and i will kick urs,,,,,,,,dumb bitch

What a farce...N I G G E R S will do anything to turn a buck. This is just plain stoopid !

Good Lord! You'd think someone called in a bomb threat. I'm getting so sick of any little thing pertaining to race becoming such an issue. It's time to stop kissing butt because of race. Some kid played a prank. Big Deal! What if they said ALL IRISH get out, or ALL ASIANS get out. You know d##ed well there wouldn't half the stink made over it.

I was just kidding. I'm a crack whore.

I actually luv foo stamps! N' I'm passyon's pimp! She's hot yo!

O, what a bunch of whiney groids. I didn't know they offered free instanet at the section 8 nests.

LMAO Maria, if they had said get all Irish out or Asian's, or any other group than blacks, you would be the first one hot under the collar and demanding the police investigate, so, keep it real and be gone, its offensive no matter the group targeted, well, ate least with grown folks who have home training and manners. The bald face hypocrisy online is staggering.

For as many challenges we Black Americans have, there are many who simply jealous of what we do have.

While I think the subject of food stamps and trailer parks is irrelevant to the Wal-Mart issue, if the figures that Rae-Shawn states are accurate -- that 34.9 % of food stamp recipients are black and 42.3 % are white -- that is unbelievable! I had no idea. Given that blacks make up about 12% of the total population U.S., and whites roughly 75%, that means that a staggering 5 times more black people receive food stamps than whites. Oh, and shame on the 16-year-old brat who borrowed Wal-Mart's intercom, but seriously, let's rise above it. That such a stupid thing could cut to the very core of a racial minority's identity makes a very different, equally worrying statment. My son is half Hispanic, half-white, and is very light-skinned. We live in Chicago in black area, and most of his friends are black. If articles were writtend about the number of times he is excluded from sports and other activities because he's "white" or the number of times he's called "cracker" there would have to be a new section included in the Chicago Tribune! Let's just all try to get along ... and be real.

I don't agree that if it was said to Asians or Irish to get out of the store that it would be such a big thing. Jews maybe, cause they complain about everything and is always looking to blame somebody else and rule the world. Asians and whites would just be laughing at whoever did it, especially if the culprit was black because they believe they better. But we blacks are extra sensitive to racist comments and have a reaons to be and people should understand that. Racisim won't just go away because we have some famous entertainers and a half black (half white) president (who would never have been president without the last half). Fact, I feel like its worse now a little bit, like theres lots of hating. and it's obvious that we ain't going to have obama for long and no black or half black president again for a long time. Please some blacks stop cursing and calling people b***ches cause all it does is make people say "see? they ni***ers after all". and all you whites realize what we go through every day trying to live in "your" world" (cause that what it is and what it's going to be for a LONG time). Not that easy to just all "get along." till we all EQUAL.

Well did they get there black asses out of the store or not? No civilized person wants to shop around savage blacks.

It's idiot cowards like Jeremiah n and Vicki Harris that come out of the woodwork every time there is a story about something to do with blacks, President Obama, etc. Race is a SOCIAL CONSTRUCT. In other words, it is something made up by society to further their own self interests(ie. slaverly). It is also a scientific FACT that all humankind originated in Africa. There is only ONE TRUE RACE- THE HUMAN RACE. Blacks cannot be "racist." Let's go back to another scientific fact- For every action there is a reaction. Shall I repeat that? For every action there is a reaction. Blacks were brought to America in chains and enslaved for centuries. They were treated like animals (sometimes not even as good as animals), their children sold, beaten, burned alive and lynched. (Even in recent times). They served and died bravely in wars for this country, yet came home to further bigotry, racism and hate. Even in Georgia after WW2, a group of black soldiers were made to eat outside of a resturant where other white soldiers with their GERMAN prisoners were allowed to sit down and eat. I could go on and on and on. Whites routinely allowed white murderers of black men, women and children (Emmett Till)to go free, making a mockery of our so-called "Justice System." Even today, with President Obama, an interracial man, the racists come out like roaches to spread their obnoxious,ignorant hate. Now, in light of all these ACTIONS, how dare anyone call a black person's outrage at bigotry, "racism." It's a matter of REACTION. I urge all of you to get educated- go back to school, research the idea/fallacy of"race." Perhaps more intellectual discourse and less flagrant racist, insulting rants, the people on Planet Earth might someday see the light and become what Our Creator meant us to be. I urge everyone to check out this website: withoutsantuary.com. There are also many good science websites that explain why we are all different hues, skin colors, and featured differently. And it has NOTHING to do with "race." It's all about geography, folks. We are much more alike than not.Stop the stupidity. Get enlightened. Someday you may have to answer for your actions on this earth.

I hope they sentenced that little shyt to a year at the toughest inner city school in NJ. I bet he'd watch his mouth then. As for the rest of you race baiting cowards, step your fat, lazy asses from behind your computers and talk that trash in the middle of Harlem.

If a black kid announced will all white people please leave Walmart would anyone care? and if not Why? arent we all equal or do blacks have more rights

Aaron hike: Your comments totally ignore history. History plays a major role in how people react. And, I am not talking about ancient history.

Vicki Harris....haha. U r so ignorant i dont know if ur stupid or just blind...president IS BLACK...worlds fastest man BLACK...best singers BLACK...i dnt knw where u got that idea that we all use food stamps. Even if some do...aint nothing wrong with that...since wen is that a problem...i bet someone in ur family has used food stamps...please get a life...go pray...cause judgement day...u goin down!

dwilson, making a public announcement to boycott a business before getting all the facts is most definitely a rush to judgment. Are we not innocent until proven guilty? The facts have shown that the only mistake Wal-Mart made was to trust their customers to keep their hands off items that don't belong to them.

Most of these statements make me sick to my stomach. I am an African-American that have my AA is Computer and Electronics Engineering and pursuing my Bachelors. So...no, not a Master's...yet. My father has his PHD in the same field and has worked with many projects ranging from software for the 7-up Spot game to working with NASA and the MOLA expedition. Now that that is out of the way, I am deeply depressed with the readings. I am a military Soldier and I protect all of the people of the United States. There are just as many white homicides as there are blacks. There are more suicides and mass killings followed by suicides. We could sit here and point out the wrong of any race. But the problem is not of any race, it is the corruption of ALL people. I do not understand how people could make such ignorant responses. Obama may have been raised by whites, that may have assisted in his up bringing, but he was destined to do great. People do great things not by race. Blacks have invented just as many life altering inventions as any. If someone had told all whites to leave the store, yes I do feel as if it would make the news. Let's not forget, long before the news came to the ghetto, reporters were reporting in "other" areas. Let's not now act as only because of blacks, was this made such a big deal. We are all in the same boat, regardless of race, age, sex, or origin. We we all realize that, the better off we would be.

I'm white and not a racist. i love black people. I think this was an ingenious joke. There are worse things said by black comedians. Don't get offended appreciate the humor. If dave chappelle did this on one of his stand-ups everyone would be cracking up. You guys are overanalyzing this, it was just a joke

Who cares about Walmart - I quit shopping there even before it was opened:-) The way they treat their own employees tells a lot, I didn't want to be any part of it. You'd better check out what VA governor proposed today - celebration of Confederate History Month! And this is an elective official who knows who he represents...I agree, racism will always be there - because people are different, people are stupid and people want to be accepted in their small micro-environment. Racism is a type of bullying for adults- when you look different and therefore, percieved not to blend or fit in into a certain group by the look. Some stupid folks use racism to feel better about themselves since there is nothing else to be proud of except for a perception of being an important part of their small group. Racism is dangerous because it puts the most errogant, narrow-minded and angry people in hostile to each other groups, creating a potential for civil unrest. Higher education should certainly help to open minds and hearts of those who stucked on bullying others.

I also don't care for Walmart, partly because of how they treat their employees. Employees are a business organization's most important resource, and the reason unions exist at all is the result of that ill treatment. That said, it was a stupid prank, and I hope the perpetrator has been or will be appropriately punished. Racism is like any other kind of bigotry, because all bigotry results from people trying to elevate themselves at the expense of others based on real or perceived differences. It's a cheap, easy way as opposed to doing something worthwhile. This country is changing constantly, in terms of demographics as well as in other ways. So, those who can't tolerate other races are going to eventually find themselves between a rock and a hard place. I feel sorry for folks like Vickie and Francis, and God help them if they are ever in a position to have to appeal to someone black for help. You never know who's going to be there to give you your last drink of water or your last bite of food to eat. You also never know who you will have to appeal to in order to get out of danger.

And to say bring up your percentages about more white people have food stamps than blacks. It because there a lot more white people in the US than there are blacks. But did your know there are a hell of a lot more black people in prison then there are white people? Please just take your women with facial hair and your men who kill, steal, and rape and go back to Africa.

There you go, stereotyping black women. Just because you see the kind of women you describe at Walmart does not mean that they represent all black women or even the majority. I could care less about who uses food stamps more. The fact remains that it was a stupid prank, and I hope the perpetrator will be appropriately held accountable. While it's true that there are blacks who are too quick to claim racism in some instances, the fact remains that it is very much a part of the present. I personally am someone who believes in live and let live, particularly because my own extended family consists of people from many different races--including whites. Just the same, I recognize racism when I see it, and will not hesitate to call it by its true name. And, no, we are not going anywhere. The only "real" Americans are the Native Americans, so the rest of us have an equal right to be here.

The idiotic remarks making blanket statements about blacks and food stamps show that we still have a long way to go. There are a lot of people of different races in this country who are down on their luck, and food stamps help to make an unbearable situation less unbearable by enabling them to feed themselves and their families. Granted, some people do take advantage, but they are a small percentage. While acknowledging that some blacks cry racism too easily and that we have racists among us, I get sick and tired of hearing us called liars or exaggerators when we justifiably call out racists or point out racist actions. I would love to see a post-racial country, but I doubt that it will happen in my lifetime.

This is just how stupid black people are..they actually blame Walmart..the company. this was the act of one person and blacks are so effing stupid .they just has to blame it on sumbuddy and that be walmart(as opposed to the real culprit).this reminds me of when a dennys waitress said something bigoted to a black group of people.instead of going after the bigot..the waitress..they boycotted that particular dennys restaurant..dumb butts..total loons!ignorant.word,bro!

Im from another country reading this if it was me in that store i would have laughed and carried on shopping.Stop taking everything so serious and use a pinch of salt,life is too short ta jump on everything all grumpy--smile and step out bold.

So glad to see that Walmart is staying on top of things, never liked Walmart before but now I'll think twice before I degrade them!

I have some black people living above me in an apartment, they have been there aprox. three weeks and out of those three weeks only three days have they rested. their time is spent being very load, banging and partying. They also stole my ashtray off of my porch, (rather they had their child steal it), I watched them steal it and give it to their mom. Their little kids, ages 2 & 4 yrs old, they are up till wee hours of the morning and I can't help but wonder are they allowing them to party too? They do such ignorant things and hollar rascism every chance they get yet a good 79% of prison popualtion is black, think about changing and maybe things will get better for you but if your a hound dog be prepared to be called a hound dog.

Hello I just wanna say ALMOST everything pretty much written here by MOST OF YOU, is worse then what that kid did. The amount of hate generated here is FAR worse then that kids prank. I don't care how poor you are, I don't if you have a doctors degree. Group up and be a civil human being. Also, simply igore people like Vicki, she what a lot call a forum troll. Your just feeding the troll by answering. And for those religious, don't say that God isn't on soso side or is on your side in this matter. I am pretty sure God doesn't like most of whats being written here. Unless you are God, you have no right or even clue what God thinks. You can assume if you wish. And just remember what Jesus said, He who condemns will be condemned, he who judges will be judged, the same measure you use upon others will be used upon you. We are ALL of God's children, God see's a man's soul, not their skin or race etc. If someone wants to be racist, you can try to point them in the right direction and that's all. If they wanna be racist then let them sink their own ship. Don't jump into the water with them.

HEY "blackbeauty;" Um president is black and WHITE..... things that make you go hummmm.

Vicki is right! They do use food stamps. Why is the truth racist?

It is my opinion that Blacks should not only leave Walmart; they should leave the USA. We could reduce the crime rate drastically by offering all Blacks a one way ticket to the African country of their choice.

Mike...please call me if you have free tickets to Africa. Although my ancestors were brought over here in chains...against their will...I don't have the funds to get back to the Mother Land. I really want to go. This country is going down! It's being overtaken by illegals, Arabs, and rascists...A one way ticket would be in order! Please help!

This world's gone "racist happy"! It was obviously a prank. Get over it & get a life!
