Walmart Incident


Recently at a Walmart Store in New Jersey a Young boy grabs a intercom phone an announces to all in the store "all black people leave the store". Now these types of hurtful remarks should not be tolerated. The young boy should be forced to apologise to all the customers in the store at the time. A walmart manager was able to quickly announce an apology to store customers shortly after the incident. That should have been the end of this story but sadly it is not. The young boy who is 16 years old was arrested and now Walmarts is under attack from the NAACP. Do I want every young black man who calls me a cracker or honkie arrested? The answer is NO. Once again the so called black leaders in this country are taking one step forward and two steps back. Please explain how Walmarts is not the victim in this story just as well as the customers who had to hear the insensitive remark? How is attacking Walmarts going to improve race relations in our country? NAACP need to understand that if you continue to cry wolf every time a minor incident happens people will stop paying attention to you. I feel the NAACP members need to ask themselves an important question. Are you yourself a Racist?
