Dear Walmart, THIS SUCKS!
Filed under: Icky Icky Poo > Wacky, Tacky & True
Absolutely disgusting.
A New Jersey Walmart is in serious trouble for what was either a tasteless, racist joke OR a serious display of horrifying bigotry!!
Apparently, this past Sunday an unknown male used the store's speakers to announce to shoppers:
"Attention Walmart customers: All black people leave the store now."
Unbelievable.
It makes us ill to think that somebody would be this barbaric and racist enough in 2010 to find that funny OR appropriate.
Management has since apologized, calling the incident "unacceptable," and the company's officials are reviewing security tapes to find the culprit.
Good! Hope they catch the douche!

Where was this store located?
Sort of shocked to hear that happened in New Jersey … but it would be kind of an everyday event if it had happened in Mississippi.
Come to think of it, I wish all the Asians would leave the Walmart in Richmond, BC once in awhile. That'd be pretty neat !!
Actually, it is kinda funny. What would have been even more funny would have been to see what happened if a few of the victimized black people saw the person doing it. Yes, that would have been quite funny indeed.
I bet any money it was a black person
Whatever. I'm listening to The Beatles. Can't be bothered now. "Nothings gonna change my world. "
Why are you blaming Walmart? It isn't their fault. It was obviously some immature idiot who may or may not have worked there who picked up the phone for the intercom. All you have to do is watch a worker use it and you can figure it out yourself. not rocket scientist type stuff. SO LAY OFF THE COMPANY, IT IS THE WORK OF ONE RACIST.
This is the best thing I've read all week…I wish more businesses would do the same.
Its good they didn't ask the Mexicans to leave though, otherwise there would be no one there to stock the shelves.
Uhm it's actually hilarious and it wouldn't be a big deal if he said all white people must leave now. WE GET IT BLACK PEOPLE WE PUT YOU THROUGH HELL AND SLAVERY YEARS AGO! I'm sorry but stop taking it out on us its been like 100 years get the hell over it! I don't care to be called white or cracker I'd laugh my ass off its not a big deal so whatever black person is suing walmart is pathetic just trying to find an easy way of cash. Sorry that's just my view on it go ahead and right how stupid and WHITE i am for saying this.
Lolz
Re: Lulu-2 – Duder, the story says it took place in New Jersey.
I'm sure that was pretty goddamn offensive and in poor taste when it happened, but reading this story made me think that it was fucking hilarious.
It was one of "The NJ Housewives". The one that's bankrupt shops @ Walmart.
Well, they have the phones set up for the store intercom system on poles all around the store. Any shopper could pick it up and say something over the loudspeaker. I'm kinda shocked it hasn't happened before.
if you know the code.. you can pick up an instore phone and make announcements- i saw this on a pranks show- not funny tho
I wish they would announce that at my Wal Mart - then I can shop in peace and not be afraid of getting robbed or shot in the parking lot. And, walking down the aisles will be a lot easier without all the welfare mothers and kids running around.
Very sad…

Re: Lulu-2 – in Washington Township.
Re: ShoeWhore – oh, well I'm not too swift - so I skimmed right over NJ.
What town? That matters much . . .
Walmart's like a white trash convention store.
Everything has been man handled by hookers.
Probably could catch a few STDs in there.
Save the people who are actually good at making love!
Re: uw101 – You fucking racist.
Re: vincenotvance – I saw . . . I felt like an idiot missing it . . . so much for my apparent stymied multi-tasking skills. . . .
Weren't you going to call Will.I.Am a n*gger? That's a lot worse Mario.
Yea.. use to grab the phone in my local walmart to make silly announcements. The phones are all over the place and all you have to do is hit #9 for the intercom. Was probably a customer screwing around…
Bahahahahaha
Re: emily561 – i agree. It could have been anyone. has nothing to do with the workers at the store.
Re: ShyFox – I am sure it has happened many times at walmarts and any store with phones available to the public. Just cuz this one happened to be *gasp* toward Black people is the only reason it is getting attention
Jesus, perez.
1. It's not wal-mart's fault. It's the employee's fault for saying it/not keeping a close eye on the intercom.
2. That's definitely funny, I would have laughed my ass off. It's just a JOKE, dude. Obviously this person was not trying to spread bigotry and hate. He was just pranking the shoppers.
3. Being paranoid of anything racist is almost as bad as racism itself. We should be able to laugh about these things.
Jeezus
Re: Heidi looks like Kojo from E.T. – Thanks Heidi - I'm curious to follow the story on other site.

Re: Lulu-2 –
WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, N.J.
Re: Lulu-2 – i know huh what a fucking pig…
That's so funny I laughed out loud. Good grief people have a sense of humor.
I am betting it was someone who was black either making a joke or trying to stir up shit. Either way it was poor taste.
First of all, this is why I hate New Jersey. Second, chances are it was some moron shopper that picked up one of the phones that are located throughout the store. New Jersey sucks and so do white people, I am allowed to say this because I am white.
Re: Lulu-2 – That happens all the time … I gloss over stuff all the time, and just do the knee-jerk reactions sometimes.
But to continue on the topic, I wish somebody would get on Walmart's PA system in Toronto and ask all the Asians to vacate the store … once in awhile anyway.
In fact, I'd love it if Loblaws would ask all the Chinese to leave the store … so that they don't cherry pick all the larger eggs from all of the cartons and place them in the carton that they're about to purchase …. that drives me nuts !!!
I'm black and I think this is hilarious!
I know Wal-Mart is rough, as I was nearly beaten up by a girl gang in a New Mexico Wal-Mart, but I think this has to be a joke!
Whatever it was probably just a stupid kid trying to be funny and now black people are getting their panties up in a bunch - Who the hell cares! I wonder how many of the people in the store are trying to sue Walmart over this nonsense.
I live right next to Washington Township…didn't even hear about this. It's obviously some shopper who was playing a prank.
Not funny and im not even black
They should have said, "All Mexicans–leave the country"
I think it's funny and you are taking it WAAAAY too serious. I'm sure it was meant as a joke and not the extreme hate mongering you are taking it for. Calm the fuck down and stop thinking of everything in terms of who it might offend and take a fucking JOKE!
Mario what you and Barbie do is no different. WTF????
hahahahaahahahahahaha thts hilarious. i actually laughed out loud
LOL
was it one of those jersey shore idiots?
This is fucking disgusting. I don't understand why Wal-Mart is being called out for what some low life piece of shit did, unless it was an employee, then that is an entirely different situation. Wal-Mart would then be in for a lot of potential legal issues.
Re: emily561 –
i believe my family was in germany at the time, but i'm still made to feel guilty. oh well.
It is so easy to get on Walmart speakers, just look on youtube for walmart intercom pranks.
LMAO!! Well, I found it amusing. The black people at walmart are rude and annoying. Especially the ones that work there.
"Attention Walmart customers: All black people leave the store now. And head to KFC there is a sale on buckets of fried chicken!"
…THAT would have been funny!
Re: ShoeWhore – you stupid racist whore
I bet none of you racist bitches would say shit in front of anyone's faces
keep hiding behind your computer bitches
cuhz that's all you're good for…move along now
Re: emily561 – yu sound like a racist bitch ,like stfu you dumb ass whore & you shop at wal-mart you cheap broke ass bitch & any other fucking racial slurr anybody else said suck a big DICK bitch!
actually, I thought it was funny
it was probably some dummy who picked up one of the phones. i hear werid things all the time.
You're very passionate about this silly little red neck prank, Mario. Seems Internet cockroach Perez Hilton still wants to trick people into thinking he's the gay MLK.
.
$20 says the culprit was actually a black person trying to stir up some controversy to keep the racism issue in the public eye.
Maybe…Just Maybe….There was a shooter in the store that *only* wanted to shoot a black person…..maybe…just maybe….the announcer was trying to *help*.
Re: emily561 – You are not stupid and I wouldn't say anything about you being white. You are ignorant.
Re: ShyFox – That is exactly my thoughts on it!! They need to make sure it was a Walmart employee before you start crucifying the company…
AWE. why didn't i think of doing this ? that's whut you nasty, pubic head- lookin' douche bags get. HAHAHAHAHAHA !
Probably just some lame kid who picked up a mic and not an employee. If they went to those lengths, I am surprised they didn't pull out all the stops and use the N-assty word. Although surprising, and stupid, I am sure no one was really injured because of it.
Re: KISS MY BUTTOX – Ahhhh, shut your fucking piehole-kunt, you hoof-and-mouth bitch !!
Of course I'm direct and I say shit to people's faces !! Go visit Vancouver and tell me that it's 'weird' that the only english sign in some malls is the 'EXIT' sign !?!? Or, what's that fetish the Chinese have with cherry-picking all the large eggs from the egg cartons in Toronto ?!? How the fuck do you 'correct' that behaviour if not to fucking tell them to fucking STOP IT to their fucking faces ?!?
Saying such shit over the store PA's is where it's at !!!!
Okay, It was probably a customer f-ing around on one of those PA phones. Anybody could pick them up. I've picked them up and sang on it…LMAO!!
I heard Walmart if run by Nazis and ass fuckers.
WHY DOES PEREZ'S OFFICE HELPER HAVE A SOAPBOX?
Re: emily561 – Wow i feel so bad for you, great way to make yourself look like another stupid racist person.
Wow, what an ignorant tart! I hope they caught him too!
Re: emily561 – What are you talking about, who's taking it out on anybody? What person is suing Walmart? Stop making up drama and get over yourself!
It sounds likes you're blaming walmart… It was obviously some random guy that used the speaker, people do that all the time.
And i REALLY doubt it was serious, it was probably a black guy saying it.
Sounds like a stupid joke I mean it's funny for a moment then it's over…unless it's actually an employee there isn't much anybody can do.
I'd be hella offended if i was in that store. Not funny at all.
Re: #Cejers – Hello stranger!!!!
*
EMILY SOMEONE SHOULD TEACH YOU WHAT TO PREACH WHEN YOU STEP UP ON THAT SOAP BOX! I feel sorry for you , you're only embarrassing yourself! GROW UP , THEN COME ON PEREZ!!! Isn't re-runs of Hannah Montana on or some shit?? Good grief!!!
Haven't shopped at this store for years! More into stores that look out for US interests, and doesn't hire the lowest common denominator for profit. This doesn't surprise me…you get what you pay for!

wow.. some of the comments here are seriously stupid. it doesnt matter what race they said its disrespectful. even if it was another race it would still be rude. seriously, why does the color of skin matter, i dont care if it was meant as a joke people are people no matter what skin color they have.
Re: uw101 – you are rude.
Re: emily561 – lolz first of all after slavery white people continued to terrorize black people..they still do in some states. second a black person wouldn't sue walmart for this. it would be dumb. only rednecks sue people over dumb crap. Any black person would have just laughed that sh*t off and continued with their day.
The only funny thing from this situation is the ignorant person who decided to do this. White Or Black
Any idiot can pick up the phone and use the intercom, they're all over the place.
Re: emily561 –
Actually, its not the slavery, its the aftermath that still exists in 2010 (like ppl thinking blacks are dumb, poor, less than the majority, or 'don't belong'). For instance, ppl assuming things like this…"so whatever black person is suing walmart is pathetic just trying to find an easy way of cash."–Like just because we're black we need easy cash. Get the fuck outta here.
And I'm black and I thought it was fucking funny. I probably would have laughed if I was there (actually if it was in Mississippi, Texas or something, I would have been nervous).
You hope they catch the douche? Perez, you don't use your mind very much do you? Did you even take into account that it could've very easily been a shopper playing a prank by accessing the PA system? Now how in your little pea sized mind do you suggest they "catch the douche" if that were the case? Once again Perez looks like an idiot by getting on his soapbox for a cause he knows absolutely nothing about. I doubt he even read the entire article before posting.
Re: ShoeWhore – I take it you are from Canada by your flag. I am from Mississippi. If it was 50 years ago, this sort of stuff would happen. It is 2010 and people have grown from the image that is still portrayed on t.v. or in movies. I think before you make a comment about a certain area, you need to get your facts firsts. I don't assume that all Canadians sound like they have something shoved up there ass is to why their accent is so horrible.
Why is this national news??? It was one asshole being an immature, racist bigot, and he probably did it on a dare. Yes it was wrong, but does it really deserve this much attention?? Far worse things happen to black people in this country every single day.
That's actually pretty funny lmfao…
Oh come on! Obviously it wasn't an employee from that store… And is it really a big deal? What if someone picked up the mic and said "All WHITES leave the store…" Or "All CRACKERS and HONKYS leave the store…" It wouldn't be a news item at all!!! Do WalMart customers REALLY ACTUALLY THINK this would be an official WalMart policy? The hell they don't… I'll tell you what the WalMart complainers are really after… A FREE RIDE for the 'insult'… Take a look at www.peopleofwalmart.com and you'll know EXACTLY who I mean.
Re: emily561 – HAHA IM NOT WHITE THO BUT I MIGHT AS WELL BE IM FROM GEORGIA, AND ITS RIDICULOUS HOW BLACK PEOPLE THINK YOU OWE THEM SOMETHING. IF U ASK ME THERE THE RACIST ONES. WITH THERE DAMN NEGRO COLLEGES.
not cool! This is 2010! Damn why are people so racist? Who will be next to be ask to leave? Very sad!
GEESH! Forgive a retailer for trying to implement some loss prevention.
hahaha i loled!
The only color Walmart cares about is green.
If it was a black dude it'd be pretty hilarious. If it wasn't, that's disgusting.
Anybody could pick up a Red Phone that hangs on the walls in any store. It was only a matter of time until some stupid person did it (on a dare/or out of hate) and say anything they wanted to say)…It was only a matter of time:(
Re: KellyJames – If you ask me, you need to stop stereotyping…
Wal Mart sucks period, with or without this! In fact, I think this should be a daily post. Why WalMart Sucks Today! Love it! lol Perhaps, you would like a co-perez-ian to present it?
Re: emily561 – True its not fair this matter need to stop NOW!! ……..and then begin again every Febuary of every year. LOL but on the real sometimes "White Folks" have a habbit of doing or saying something that would give an African American a slavary esque Jim Crow Flash back. Some times you have to put on the Fliter catch what you say or do that goes for ANY RACE. I feel African American need as well to have what I call Culture Courtsey. We all in this together Americans is Americans to me.
Re: BlackCute&Ghetto – Your name is so not cute and i hardly think your black stop that
there are 50 states in this damn country, why the daily updates about new jersey?
I wish someone would announce that all the ILLEGAL ALIENS have to leave my local Wal-Mart, so I can shop in peace without their dozens of screaming children who throw crap allover the place and their stupid parents who don't realize that they are not the only one shopping in the store and ALWAYS leave their carts in the middle of the isles and don't bother to move it when people need to get by, CAN LEAVE PLEASE.
I DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S wALMART'S FAULT EITHER. i THINK IT'S KINDA FUNNY TO - EVERYBODY TAKES SHIT WAY TOO SERIOUS!
I honestly have no idea how someone can be racist. It makes not sense. Like relating the quality of a person to something like skin colour. It has not connection at all! its like choosing to like someone based on their eye colour. There is not logical connection. I really believe you must just have low IQ
This is not funny at all. I hope they find the little fucker and kick the shit out of him. Now that would be funny.
You're stupid and white for saying that
Take note this happened in New Jersey, not Mississippi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was probably a customer who'd seen one of the employees using the P.A. phone and memorized the code number. I've seen them use those things at Zellers and been tempted to make an announcement of my own. "Attention Zellers shoppers, this is your manager speaking. I'm not wearing any pants. Thank you."
Bomb threat. They were actually just being polite in having them evacuate first; next the Mexicans, then jews, and last the whites. You just cannot please some people.
