officials are reviewing security tapes to try to determine who used a southern New Jersey store's public-address system to tell "all black people" to leave.

On Sunday evening at the Washington Township store, a male voice calmly announced: "Attention Wal-Mart customers: All black people leave the store now."

Witnesses told the Courier-Post newspaper that customers and store employees looked stunned. Management later apologized


I find this kind of funny as I am sure it was not an employee.

It was probably someone who had been employed by Wal-Mart at some point. Unless things are different since I worked there, you need to enter a code in the keypad for the phone to act as an intercom.

I read Artie Lange's auto biography last year and he tells his first steps to being a comedian was going to local department stores and harassing everyone over the PA.  He loved the reaction and found his calling.  While I don't think Telling all black people to leave is really funny by itself, the reaction must have been hysterical.

I knew this guy when I worked in the County jail waaaaay back.  He wanted to Fuck with this gang of idiots that just came in. He reached over to his shoulder Mic and faked a transmition. He goes........Who do you need? Last name is Nigher? Then he spells it out loud,the N - word.  He goes hold on I'll see if he is here. They went Nuts. Screaming for Al Sharpton and demanding to be released. Not very professional at all. He passed away recently. That was one Crazy Mfer........

Lil B Edited to replace some offensive lanquage

One of my friends got ahold of the blue light special cart and pushed it into the shoe dept of Kmart and announced over the PA, " Attention shoppers we currently have a blue light special in our shoe department where if you buy the left shoe at full price, the right one is absolutely free".
His mother was not amused.

or someone that just got fired that day

It is pretty obvious that this was a rouge indiviual and not Walmart's policy.

While the "joke" was in very poor taste, I quite frankly am more outraged at those who are using this to advance their own political agenda. 

To use this as a reason to demand that Walmart donate a substantial amount of money to the NAACP as retribution or face a boycott as some have suggesteed is extortion.  A considerable worst wrong than a poorly done prank by what likely was a some punk teen that is not an employee of Walmart.     

Gotta agree here 100%.  The black race has been doing this for a while now though. Its Sharptons favorite tool in his little toolbox. 

I saw a headline this morning (link to full article below) that made me want to smack someone and throw up, all at the same time. Supposedly some lady made the comment...

"I can't go back in," said Patricia Covington, who was also in the store and spoke to Philly.com. "I went to Target instead. I can't bring myself to go back in there."

Really? She were so traumatized by someone's prank of telling "all blacks" to leave the store that she can't even stand to go in there again? Even knowing that it wasn't the store that made the announcement? I sure hope this lady never gets insulted while at a restaurant, as I fear she'd never be able to eat again and would wither away and die of starvation.

I can see the Rows of lawyers lining up as we speak.   ::)

Who is suggesting this?

Didn't catch the sister's name...it was a quick clip on the news....random person, i think not an actual leader. 

Sounds like another case of fake outrage.  ...where the news picks up one uninformed idiot and creates a straw-man from them.

I'm not always the biggest fan of the NAACP, but I think it's only fair to call them out when they're actually doing something wrong.

No different than the national news picking up this story in the first place.  What was done was akin to someone spray painting graffiti on the side of a walmart.  At most this should have been the 5th story on the local news if they were having a slow new day.  It ain't national news.  That Walmart did anything wrong or that this is anything at all serious is the strawman. 

Wouldn't it be great if a black person just looked right into a camera and said simply, NO.  I don't have to go anywhere. Thats all. No big dealo. I swear if more people just reacted like this 1/2 of the countries race problems would dissapear. Of course there will always be the racist asshats, but if no one listened, it would be much fun anymore would it? Jessie , Big Al would all be out of Jobs. People would feel good about themselves. imagine that?  Nope. Papers need stories and Lawyers need lawsuits. Racist leaders need something to be angry about.

Sad.

Again, why bring Jesse and Al into this?  They haven't done anything.  If they speak out and say something stupid, by all means, call them out, but it's not fair to knock them anytime any black person does something stupid.

This would be extremely crazy if the cameras picked up that a black guy made the announcement. It's possible.

There are times when you can and should throw down the race card.  This is not one of those times.  The only blame here lies with the individual who made the statement.  Sue him or her.

Are you fucking kidding me? What haven't they done!!? They helped shape the opinions of every black person that throws that card down . They helped them believe they are victims and not just like you and me. If there is any dividing line its because of them two. Directly.

I think you give the two of them entirely too much credit.  I don't think the average young black person gives a crap about Al or Jesse.

Well Dave, you didn't know? Black people are not capable of thinking on their own.  Without Al and Jesse, we have no idea when racism is present. None of us are educated enough to figure these things out on our own or have any working knowledge of social structures or institutionalized racism. We're just a bunch of sheep.

Also, all blacks think alike. Middle class, educated, not educated, ghetto. It doesn't matter. We have no autonomy, whatsoever.  Black = only capable of thinking in one specific way.

There's a word I'm looking for here to explain why someone would think these things about an entire race of people. . . I'll have to check with Al and Jesse and get back to you with that.

The race problems in the US can be traced back much further than those two all the way back to 1607. 

The divide line today has a lot more to do with the KKK, anyone who owns a rebel flag and anyone who supports naming schools or parks after confederate terrorists than those two. 

Never said all. Let me know what Al and Jesse say.........

Fair enough. But are you going to say that these two don't help create racists as well?

I do not think they create racists as much as they create victims. These two men will do anything and say anything to get attention and hold onto what ever power they have amassed.
I think they do more damage by making too many blacks believe that they are victims and that they can do nothing to help themselves out and need help from the government, and/or other individuals to help them get through life.
I equate them more to conmen or snake oil salesmen as opposed to dyed in the wool bigots that have come before them.

Agreed^^^

Budda's above statement (#19) is exactly the point I was trying to make. Right away she is offended, and makes herself out to be a victim. She assumes things that were not said and if she really did have the power to think for herself, I would like to just once , just once, have an intelligent calm conversation with her without all the drama.

Those two aren't always helpful.  But they have done less harm to race relations in their entire lifetime than Chuck McMichael does in a single day. 

Does anyone else feel desesnitized to the word terrorist now? It use to strike fear, and people caught on to that and label everything terrorism. If William Tecumseh Sherman wasn't a terrorist in the Civil War, I don't know who was.

I'm not sure who Chuck McMichael is and a bing search didn't bring anything up. I'm guessing he's an Ahole Arian kind of person? If so, my whole point is that Guys like Sharpton and Jesse (who have publically denounced Jewish people in the past) help him attract other really dumb lost white people by using them as examples of all black people.

Whatever. I'll take the high road then.

He is the leader of the Sons of the Confederacy. 

^^^Sons of Confederate Veterans actually. I can't disagree that some people do have a Supremist agenda in such organizations, but I am not familiar with Mr. McMichael. I will say that not everyone within the SCV is a racist/supremist. You are painting very broad strokes with your brush in this thread.

Not every member of the Rainbow Coalition is a racist either with very stated goals of equality for all. 

SCV is a considerably more racist organization than either the Rainbow Coalition or the NAN.  In fact both RC and NAN welcome and have members of every race.  Does SCV? 

^^^ The only qualifying criteria that I know of is they have to be descendants of Confederate Soldiers.

so it's like daughters of the american revolution ?

Makes sense that there are not too many minorities then huh? Its unbelievable how some people come to racist conclusions because of that.

Guess based on your statement Hoodie the Negro college fund is racist too huh?

Oooh lets whine about Sherman's march and all pretend the south was the victims of northern aggression.   A southerner whining about Sherman's march is a lot like a German claiming that the worst atrocity in all of Europe during the 1930s and '40s was the allied bombing of Berlin.   

Sherman destroyed much of the industry and war capacity of the south and was really not much different than the allies bombing german and jap factories during wwii. 

Plenty of slaves were forced into supporting the confederate forces....yet none of their descendants are members. 

He was not a terrorist. As he was a member of the recognized US Army he at best could be convicted of war crimes. He does not even meet this criteria as he did not commit wholesale slaughter of civilians, but went above and beyond to destroy the infrastructure of the confederacy for leaving the union.
There have been many horrible acts of terrorism committed against people, but what Sherman did was a scorched earth policy.

Guess the word FORCED explains that huh?  ::)

A 16yr old was arrested

If that was my kid, I would beat the living crap out of him for doing that.  However, he probably got his attitude towards blacks from his parents so they will just pretend to be horrified.

completely off topic.. but the most gruesome episode of ww2 was the firebombing of dresden. more damage than hiroshima and nagasaki combined

I know a few Black churches around here. I'd make him spend some time cleaning one and doing whatever it was the Pastor needed doing. (No gay jokes please)  :|

Dreseden doesn't even make the top 25 list of most gruesome episodes of ww2. 

And there was less fatalities in dresden than either hiroshima or nagaski.   It wasn't even the city with the worst firebombing, several cities in Japan had it much worse. 

If on your list Dresden is number 1, where does Auschwitz, Bataan, Rape of Nanking, and Buchenwald rank? 

Likewise for those of you who rank Sherman's march as the most gruesome aspect of the rebelion agains the USA, where do you rank Slavery and Andersonville?

I tried something similar this morning... During breakfast, I went up to the counter, turned the restaurant intercom on and said "Will all the old Jewish people please leave the Boca Diner immediately..."

Nobody left the place, but I now know a dozen new insults in Yiddish...including "kadokhes futz," which I've since learned means "worthless idiot."




(totally kidding...)

I notice you didn't jump to the defense of Confederates being labeled as terrorists earlier.

Oh shit.....thats funny!  Seriously though, thats the difference. They don't see themselves as victims. You would get a fight.

Hoodie did not make it clear if he was refering to confederate's such as Robert E Lee which I would not agree is a terrorist, or the founders and early members of the KKK who effected a terror campaign against former slaves and duly elected officials whom I would call terrorists.
I thought he was referring to the later. Perhaps he could give us clarity as to whom he was talking about with his statement.
