Recently at a Walmart store in New Jersey there was a very unusual and racist comment made over the intercome!
I was stunned when I read this article! Now I am just about as pasty white as one person can be but I'm definitely NOT a racist. Over the loud speaker at a New Jersey Walmert, a male voice said..."All black people pleasse leave." Apparently employees and customers throughout the store were all equally appalled by the racist and rude comment.
I have friends who are African-American. It's weird for me to phrase them like that because I don't see them as any different than myself (minus the obvious difference in skin tone)! I just do NOT get why people have to be so crude and rude to other human beings out there. I never have. I grew up in an all white community. And if an African-American so much as even drove through town, the nasty comments and obsene gestures would come out of the wood work. I guess I learned by seeing ignorance first hand at the place in my own community.
Walmart said they were going to be throughly checking into the matter. Personally, I just think it's sad... GROW UP PEOPLE!!!

Being rude to other races has been around since the start of time. There is no cure or answer to the problem. All we can try and do is teach our kids what is right and hope that someday it does go away.
