Wal-Mart Victim Of A Hoax

From the nbcphiladelphia.com:
"Wal-Mart officials are looking at security tapes after an announcement was made for "all black people'' to leave a store in South Jersey.
A man used the public-address system at the Route 42 store in Washington Township Sunday night and calmly announced: "Attention Wal-Mart customers: All black people leave the store now." http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local-beat/All-Black-People-Asked-to-Leave-South-Jersey-Walmart-88118157.html
First, let's make it clear. Chances are this was not a Wal-Mart employee. I can see how this happened. All telephones in a Wal-Mart store are capable of paging. Many phones are on the sales floor, so a customer can have access to the phones. There are 3 telephone numbers/symbols to know to page over the loudspeaker. Either the person who made the page observed a Wal-Mart employee make a page over a phone or they got the info from an employee. Then when no one was looking, they made the page about blacks leaving the store. Yes, the page was cruel and despicable. However, the reaction by the black patrons was over the top: "Patricia Covington and Shelia Ellington were inside the store when it happened and told the Courier Post that customers and store employees looked stunned when they heard it.
"In 2010, I want to know why such statements are being made because it flies in the face of what we teach them [our kids] at home, and that's tolerance for people," said Ellington. Ellington and other customers let store management and police know they were upset.
They asked the store to use the same announcement system to apologize to customers that night, which it did.
Wal-Mart management called the incident "unacceptable," and said it's working to make sure nothing like this happens at any other stores."
So, apparently, these ladies have never heard a black kid or celebrity use the n-word? They don't hear the language of the "hood"? They haven't heard some rap songs that are out on the radio? Plullzzze!!
What happened was a hoax, plain and simple. Wal-Mart would never allow an employee to do that and sometimes crap happens.
To the black ladies who were supposedly offended- grow up and hold the same standards to the younger black community that likes to use the n-word and rip on black women.
