Police arrested a 16-year-old boy and charged him with harassment and bias intimidation for pulling a prank at the Walmart in Washington Township of Gloucester County, New Jersey. Homeboy grabbed one of the courtesy phones and announced "Attention, Walmart customers: All Black People leave the store now!" Of course folks were up in arms and though the manager quickly responded with an apology people were upset. The story made the rounds on the news, popped up on news sites across the internet, made its way to Facebook status updates and even began some rumblings of a boycott of Walmart.
Say what?!? You know damn well ain't nobody boycotting Walmart for an isolated incident like this. I mean, it's not like they have a history of shady business practices like undercutting the local businesses, unfair hiring practices, wage gauging, lying about where their products are manufactured, hiring disabled persons and senior citizens to get out of paying health insurance. It's not like all of that is going on, so one idiot telling Black folks to leave the store isn't the straw that broke the camel's back. It's not like you Negros would boycott anyway, not when you're getting all of those products you love for the low!
Who knows his intentions, he could've been about to set it off in Walmart and didn't want to hurt any brothers or sisters, we have to wait until all the facts are out here before we call Rev. Al and his band of righteous brothers! What's the alternative go to Target and spend nearly $2 more for toilet tissue? $2 more for toilet tissue?!? Are you insane? I'm on my way to Walmart now to pick up some Ocean Spray Cran-Grape, Febreeze, and paper towels and wish somebody would get on the PA and ask for the Black folks to leave…
