Walmart was apologizing on Monday after an appalling description of a product by a third-party vendor made its way onto the retail giant’s website.
The retailer was slammed early Monday after the color of a netting weave cap — used as a protective layer between a person’s hair and sewn-in hair extensions — on its site was described as the color “N— Brown.”
“Hey @Walmart what are you doing,” Twitter user Kwani Lunis tweeted with a screenshot of the problematic product listing.
New York Times best-selling author Roxane Gay condemned the retail chain, tweeting that dropping the N-bomb on their site was “so far past unacceptable.”
Shortly after the controversy erupted, Walmart removed the racial slur and replaced the “Add To Cart” button with a message stating that the item was no longer available.

I hope they have “Cracker White”.
“appalling” ...
unless you listen to rap music, in which it forms one of the approximate 78 words of the rap vocabulary. I wonder if the snowflake complainants have registered concern with the record labels over that?

How is it stupid?
It was a stupid (likely) accident, but it doesn’t mean that this case wasn’t justifiably something to ask to be removed, doesn’t matter what some blacks say to each other. Plenty of other dont use it.
Will MSNBC have Niger Innis on air for a comment?
Big hullabaloo over nothing. It's an Engrish translation error. Happens all the time. There is a website devoted to these mistakes Engrish.Com.
One of the funniest is a multi-lingual sign in a Chinese (or Singapore) hospital. It directs people to the OB/GYN unit. The English portion of the sign reads "Cun* Exams".
