Bad Walmart

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.

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.

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.

[Dave Gray]

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.

[Defense54]

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. 

[Phishfan]

confederate terrorists . 

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.

[Defense54]

I'm not offended by the Walmart thing. I'm offended by your stupidity.

Whatever. I'll take the high road then.

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

I'm not sure who Chuck McMichael is .

He is the leader of the Sons of the Confederacy.
