Walmart : All Black People Should Leave The Store
The 16-year-old boy who police said made an announcement at Walmart ordering all black people in the southern New Jersey store to leave was charged with harassment and bias intimidation, Police said Saturday.
Wal-Mart shoppers in Turnersville, NJ were shocked and appalled when a male voice came over the store speaker system and asked black people to leave the store.
Arrested a 16-year-old boy for a prank? Once again, politics prevails over common sense.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe that this was blown so far out of proportion ... just like the Compton Cookout at UCSD in San Diego ... why can't Black people laugh at themselves like the the rest of us do??? So much coddling ... get real ... slavery was ended after the civil war ...
ReplyDeleteOnly black people get upset when someone announces that they need to leave a store? Why would black people laugh at blatant racism? Racism is something that black people and every other racial minority have to deal with on a daily basis. It's hateful, mentally harmful, and disgusting. Obviously you would know nothing about this.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll get on the intercom and ask all Klan members to get out of the store. Maybe you'd be offended then.
THIS MOMENTOUS DAY!
ReplyDeleteNot one day in anyone's life is an uneventful day, no day without profound meaning, no matter how dull and boring it might seem, no matter whether you are a seamstress or a queen, a shoeshine boy or a movie star, a renowned philosopher or a Down's syndrome child.
Because in every day of your life, there are opportunities to perform little kindnesses for others, both by conscious acts of will and unconscious example.
Each smallest act of kindness - even just words of hope when they are needed, the remembrance of a birthday, a compliment that engenders a smile - reverberates across great distances and spans of time, affecting lives unknown to the one whose generous spirit was the source of this good echo, because kindness is passed on and grows each time it's passed, until a simple courtesy becomes an act of selfless courage years later and far away.
Likewise, each small meanness, each thoughtless expression of hatred, each envious and bitter act, regardless of how petty, can inspire others, and is therefore the seed that ultimately produces evil fruit, poisoning people whom you have never met and never will.
All human lives are so profoundly and intricately entwined - those dead, those living, those generations yet to come - that the fate of all is the fate of each, and the hope of humanity rests in every heart and in every pair of hands.
Therefore, after every failure, we are obliged to strive again for success, and when faced with the end of one thing, we must build something new and better in the ashes, just as from pain and grief, we must weave hope, for each of us is a thread critical to the strength - the very survival - of the human tapestry.
Every hour in every life contains such often-unrecognized potential to affect the world that the great days for which we, in our dissatisfaction, so often yearn are already with us; all great days and thrilling possibilities are combined always in THIS MOMENTOUS DAY!
Excerpt from Dean Koontz's book, "From the Corner of His Eye".
It embodies the idea of how the smallest of acts can have such a profound effect on each of our lives.
