it flies in the face of what we teach them [our kids] at home

Your kids are taught at home that they are victims who will always require someone else to fight their battles for them. You don't seem to have a problem when government tells Asian students to get out of the admissions line at our Universities.

This immediately brought to mind the time that ABC was televising a baseball game and left an open microphone on the top of a team dugout. One of the fans was talking into the microphone, saying “Howard (Cosell) no one likes you...”

[Mr. Jazzy]

To me, this sounds like either a prank by some idiot kids or worse, a setup for a lawsuit.

[Doogle]

..and who is the culprit? Who was responsible for this? Whats his name and where’s his photo?

[Carpe Cerevisi]

Let’s get it right:

“store employees looked stuneed when they heard it.”

stuneed = stuned

[albie]

Wow! The police had to get involved?! Must be a special “hurt feelings” division of the police force. Blacks have no problem with “Jet” and “Ebony” magazines which scream that whites aren’t welcome!

[TomGuy]

customers and store employees looked stuneed

Is that sort of like stoned? Or is stunee some south Jersey vernacular?

[tatsinfla]

you beat me to it....

yes they are taught how they are victims and repressed by the white man and how to play the system for all they can get.....

call me racists if you will but there is truth in what we say....

[oh8eleven]

investigating the incident as a possible bias crime. ... Wal-Mart needs to be more responsible." ... Covington and Elllington are boycotting the store.
Gheeze, talk about over reaction.

[Moonman62]

Covington and Elllington are boycotting the store.

The announcement seems to have worked.

[edpc]

Covington and Elllington are boycotting the store.

So the prankster wins........

[Gay State Conservative]

Lawsuit.If the announcement was made by an employee "why didn't they know?"...if it wasn't an employee...."their security should have been better".

Watch for Mister Hymietown and Tawana Brawley's best buddy to get in on this...bigtime!

[TomGuy]

Do you have Prince Albert in a can.

Paging Jack ....

[There are dozens of prank lines.]

[rintense]

Prank, but even pranks have consequences too.

[nuconvert]

Your reply seems to assume that Patricia Covington and Shelia Ellington are black. Why is that? I didn’t see any photos of them in the story.

[luvbach1]

It might have been a “parting shot” from a disgruntled employee who knew the avalanche of negative publicity that would descend on Walmart.

[earlJam]

store employees looked stuneed

"Stuneed"?

[AnnaZ]

Patricia Covington and Shelia Ellington were inside the store when it happened and told the Courier Post that customers and store employees looked stuneed when they heard it.

Looks like NBC is trying to give al baby a little competition.

[erkyl]

it flies in the face of what we teach them [our kids] at home and that's tolerance for people

Except for pranksters. We have no tolerance for them.

[pnh102]

Getting the police involved? A bias crime? Good grief. It was just a stupid prank and nothing more.

[reagan_fanatic]

It was probably a prank by some stupid kid. Getting upset about it just makes you look petty and stupid.
