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!

Re: Not my gumdrop buttons! – you must live near me
you know how easy it is to get on that inter com?? they dont change the password for it so any x employe knows the speaker code, and theres NEVER any staff in toys. It frees up some time to get more creative than that ignorant crap!
Hahahahahahahahaha!
sure it sucks, but why the hell are you blaming walmart. This could have happend anywhere. It doesn't mean Walmart is racist. Stupid.
I dont care who you are, turn on any stand up comedian, funny movie or TV show and racism is the key point to delivering the punch line to what is a very funny joke. Quite honestly I think that racist jokes are Americas guilty pleasure. Also what is up with people getting all hot and bothered? Seriously why do white people get mad about being called white, whitey, or cracker? And black people gt mad about being called black, brown, or colored? Honestly you get mad or bothered by TRUTH? Something that I, personally find funny about all of it is, that people can dish it but not take it. I, 100% agree with the few who said that it would not be an issue what-so-ever if they said for white people to leave. Either way, who cares, take a little laugh out of the situation and jump off the fence, you have to be one or the other. And to the one who said black people are terrorized by white people, riiiiiiiiight….. it goes every which way. The thing is you cant just find it okay or funny when its not you but when its against you or a group you are part of, you quickly pull out the race card.
Re: @ries872 – Everyone who works at Wal-Mart is rude and annoying except the elderly or handicap greeter.
Ha ha, this made me LOL. I can relate. Especially if it's the first of the month and they have their food stamps and 9 kids in tow. Wal-Mart sucks!!
Re: frankb – exactly
Mario you just aren't a very intelligent person.
Someone obviously got on the address system to play a "joke". Probably showing off for his buddies.
How is this Walmart's fault for 1 racist person anyways?
Libtard idiot.
i heard it was a black person as well.
ps.
it's more an indictment of sTopiD people isn't it?
or a savvy set up for future cash settlements?
pps.
i'm white, and if i heard an announcement
"All white people leave the store now…"
on my way out i'd say - Thanks for the heads up… & get the Heck out of there. :')
hilarious!
I wonder if this would have made the news if someone told ““` All the HONKIES or CRACKERS ““ to leave the store.
It was a kid “` doing a prank. A bad one “` But a prank is my guess.
It's funny indeed, although I didn't even know there were black people in Jersey.
Attention, all white people leave this website now!!!
HAHAHA, so funny, you take it too seriously, blah blah blah
Re: butifal – get a better sense of humor.
Re: ShoeWhore – start picking the eggs as the asians do and stop whining.
before u condemn walmart make sure u know what the real story..I work at walmart and people who been fired they go back to the store and use that frikin phone to insult people juts to anoyy the management from firing them..so u better know the fact perez..the tellephone that they been using is in every corner of the wall at walmart..Get ur fact straight perez
every walmart employee knows how to use that phone..its easy to access that phone coz its just in the wall..If u get fired u can get even by doing stupid thing..
LMFAO! I dont care who disagrees,this is fuckin funny!!!!!
would you be so outraged if they said all white people leave
You can walk up to ANY walmart isle phone and do this if you know the code to press in! Customers do it all the time!!! I'm sure it wasn't a worker so who the fuck cares.
I mean aisle… lol.
Ridiculous. The fact that people can still think in such a low brow ignorant manner is disgusting. It's time 2 evolve racists.
Hahaha, it is kinda funny!!
LOL must have been in KKK land in the deep south
rednecks lololol
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha it was definitely a black person!
Re: uw101 – LMAO!! It would be like A day without a mexican..
It was the turnersville, NJ walmart….and people act like goons in that store so i am not surpised, im sure whoever said it had a little run-in with a customer acting up, it was kind of funny…it was like 7 in the morning - plus its amercia - freedom of speech….
It could have been anyone. Those phones are hanging on the columns all over the store. I have used them myself to dial the store operator to get assistance when i couldnt find an employee. The phones have a big button on them that says Intercom, so anyone could have done it (and no..it wasnt me. Im not racist and I dont live anywhere near that store)
What does Walmart have to do with it? Walmart is a store not a prison
Barbaric?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
It's national news that somebody played a prank in Wal Mart, and everyone is crying racism? (I can't wait until they release that it was a black person who did it!)————-
But hilariousness and laughs ensue when Chris Rock makes racist comments towards Whites/Asians/everyone as his living?—————
It IS 2010 Perez. People need to STOP CRYING RACISM for every little damn thing! It is out of control and pounded into everyone's heads through the liberal media that whites must bow down to every non white or it is considered racist. That is where the true colors show who is actually racist.
God, you never cease to amaze me. One person's act ignornace doesn't make Walmart responsible. You have an issue with all heterosexuals and most women who aren't Lady Gag-Gag - Does that mean that all Gays support your actions…Yeah, we both know the answer to that one. Most of them wish you'd crawl under a rock and go away. The rest with someone with connections would eliminate the parasite that is Mario.
Re: Edelweiss – OMG you have to be 12. Walmart is a shoppers heaven for ANYONE who is looking to save money. What a stupid comment….God, get an education on life you moron.
Re: KellyJames –
lol u idoit ONLY white people can be racist because they have suppressed people of color thoughout history(not just black people).the only way you can become a racist is if you have tryed or succeded in suppressing an opposite race, which only white people have done. a black person can be (prejudice) towards white people, and they would have a good reason to do that.
Snooki and JWow were probably shopping and wanted privacy. After all, isn't that where they shop?
The store was in South Jersey (I know which one as I know someone that was working when it happned but I feel that I shouldn't name it). It could've been worse… the customer could've said the "N" word that African Americans are so fond of calling each other. I bet if the announcer had said "all whites leave the store" nothing much would have been done about it and it definitely wouldn't have garnered so much attention. It's rediculous! It's called Freedom of Speach people - stop being so sensitive!

Re: education1 –
I think that might be the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Whites are the only ones who can be racist? The problem is a broken logic engine in your fucked up brain.
the Japanese enslaved the chinese, the Jews were enslaved by the egyptians, the spanish and portuguese ran the north american slave trade. your a fucking MORON!
Re: emily561 – you are right emily!!! helll, my family wasn't even in this country when slavery existed here! i don't owe ANYBODY anything…
The only thing worse than unnecessary racism is people who are surprised by it.
The shocked and appalled angle is very immature and obnoxious of you, Perez.
Re: emily561 – I totally agree..it makes me sound racist, but honestly, you`re right. If someone said "white people, leave now" everybody would laugh…but only because they chose to use people who have been oppressed in the past is it racist…it's not hateful, they're not saying "fuck all you black people I hate you gtfo" …i'm sure it was intended as racist in this case, but I do agree that minority groups that were opressed need to get over themselves.
Some people really don't think before they speak and how it will affect others…including half of the people who commented on this. Its pretty sad…and so are all of you half minded tools who made a racist comment on this post. Crawl out of your caves and enter the real world you fools. I'm sure half of the people in the world that are of a different race have better jobs then you losers who take the time to make such foolish remarks.
Even though this was f-cked up what's more twisted is the black people listened and left the store like a bunch of dumb asses. When I heard and seen that I was thinking, I bet that is a black guy on the speaker…
it is quite funny actually
cant blame walmart any dumbass can walk in and grab a microphone
Wow! Now whoever actually said that over the intercom, once they are found, FIRE 'EM! Let them learn their lesson. >:P
It was in Washington, TWP NJ… I heard about this on this radio today. It was suspected that a customer not a store employee did this. NOT that it makes a difference…
The person who did this may be racist, but most of all he's funny
I think it's quite funny myself.. And if they do find the person who did it.. what the hell are they going to do to him?? I don't think that's illegal or anything. BLACK FOLKS GET OVER YOURSELVES! This racist shit is getting on my nerves! Black people are nothing but WHINERS these days. How many white people get called crackers, whitey and uncle tom? Where in the news do you see them making a stink about it and trying to sue and cause all kinda trouble? You don't cause you know why? Cause it's JUST WORDS. They don't make a big stink about The Negro College fund or BET or any other RACIST shit like that .. GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GROW UP!!!!!!!!!!! You got it good enough as it is and better than some white folks! That's right! Ya lucky ya asses ain't still pickin cotton!
lighten up Mario. One racist idiot does not make a national crisis (except on slow news days when gossip bloggers don't have anything else to write about)
Re: AKM081 – Well first off it was meant to be mean and hurtful. I'm sure it was some stupid white fuck that thinks it's funny to say shit like that or shit like "Ya lucky ya asses ain't still pickin cotton".
chances are they wont…. common man if they fired a cancer patient. do you think walmart cares about the sick, gays or blacks? no they just care about themselves and being number one.
If only they could've all Really Left and rallyed in the parking lot. Leave the cash registers, all black management, customers, Every single black person all in a group outside - a visual statement, while chaos ensued inside.
Although not directly responible, Walmart is despicable.
This would NEVER happen in Mississippi in this day of age. I think New Jersey must not have that many black residents. Places that are not diverse and have only one race or religion breed bigotry because people do not learn what not to say when no one tells them it is wrong. How ever a Mississippi High school not having a prom becasue of lesbian wants to wear a tux has happened way more than people realize.
But it is ok for you to call children born from unmarried people "bastards" and "illegitimate?"
Why is that ok? Guess what, it is not ok and you are a hypocrite.
You can't just say that it's racist. If a black guy did it in fun, is it racist?
I'm not saying that it wasn't, I'm just saying you don't know the story behind it. you dont' even know the person that said it yet, so how can you just come out guns blazing, calling it a racist remark? That's just stupid.
Re: ergogogirl – It would never happen in Mississippi eh? Guess that makes up for all the slavery! At least the black people at wallmart are safe! =P
Re: Nickdaprick –
ohh! you hurt me lol really look up racism…
in AMERICAN HISTORY white people are the only race that OPRESSED people ok. I know world history I don't need a lesson from you. as far as AMERICAN history goes white people did stupid, racist sh*t. and yes in AMERICA only white people can be racist.
Re: AKM081 –
an uncle tom is a black person that sells out other black people.
I'm not going to argue anything else in your comment because you obviously lack knowledge.
Now that there is funny. I don't care what anybody says!! People need to get a sense of humor. If someone had come on the intercom and said "all white people need to leave the store", I'd have laughed my head off!! It's come to the point that you can't look at anyone crossed eyed and they scream discrimination. This is a country of big ole babies!! I've been listening to Pollack jokes all my life and you don't see me crying about it. Shut up already!!!!!
How can you say it's racist without knowing the race of the person who did it? It could have been a black person pulling a prank? I found it funny, and I'm black.
yea sorry, love all people
Re: UberBling – Okay, it wasn't actually that racist (more of an immature joke, i'm sure) but it was in Jersey retard. and I live in the Deep South….people aren't even racist down here like the rest of the world likes to think we are. Come to the suburbs surrounding Houston and take a look around, then go the suburbs surrounding Milwaukee and come back and tell me which ones are more segregated. Grew up in the South with blacks, asians, indians, you name it and we all went to school together since first grade and we allllllllll LOVE EACH OTHER, u stereotyping the South is worse than the boy on the intercom.
Re: KiloSanchez – Well it's not funny, it's a racist comment that was directed to offend black people period.
ugh why does perez always mess up my comments- anyway- my point is, I love all people but that shizz woulda broke out into some hilariousness at my wally world!!! guarantee our cashiers would have had something to say back over the intercom and not one black person woulda left!
haha thats funny
Re: Lulu-2 – blow it out your ass.
I really wonder if it was an employee or some random person??
Re: ShoeWhore – you idiot i bet you've never been to mississippi!
Honestly, i think its funny that this happened, if this would happen in my walmart back home, i would still keep shopping, believe me, ive heard and been through worse. But I dont like the idea that black people are going to sue walmart. I dont believe in hand outs, i believe in hard work, and earning your way. Im in the military one of the biggest multicultural workforces, so ive heard all the racist comments ever, i have no choice but to laugh. But i have a slight problem wtih the people saying that"I would say stuff to peoples faces." and think its going to change anything, its not.
say what you will, i dont care. You dont pay my bills, you dont feed my kids, you dont show me anything but a sad excuse for a human being. We all bleed the same, breathe the same, love the same. People need to grow up and realize that we need eachother to survive, to live, to have a good life. So please get off your computers and make a difference. (Im just doing this because i have a little free time between shifts and like to see other peoples opinions, thanks for reading.)
Re: education1 – Ha!! Glad to see you "know" me so well. Try getting out of your mama's basement for a while and see how it is in the real world. Unless you live where I live and see how pathetic and trashy they are, you can't say shit. And I never need to hide behind a computer to say what I feel. I speak my mind when I want and no matter to whom.
This is obviously not the act of the company, but of an employee. Racism of an institution is unacceptable, and it's also almost nonexistent in America in 2010. Individuals are racist, companies and institutions no longer have the issue.
Perez, if you're going to get on Walmart's ass about something, it should be the slave labor they exploit in Taiwan and China and other Asian countries; their products are made by children in sweatshops who are paid a few cents a day. This one little joke that some tasteless person obviously thought was funny is nothing compared to what Walmart does to children on a day to day basis, yet you are willing to report on this one incident and continue to condone the atrocious acts of Walmart and other American companies by saying nothing.
Get off your high horse, Perez, and stop being so self righteous and acting like you stick up for the little guy. All you do is talk, and talk is cheap. Actually DO something.
And I'm not talking about the PETA commercial you did. That was lame. Are you even a vegetarian? What am I saying? You can't be, you're too fat.
Wow, I got off on a completely different tangent there, but I think you get my message. I really hope you read this, you asshole.
Re: uw101 – yeah, the story is kind of funny but dang; your comment is raaaciiisstttt!
but i agree with Re: wallawalla123 – , i bet it was a black person who said it
right next my towwwn! … turnersville
