Wal-Mart ‘Appalled’ by Racial Announcement (Yeah, sure they are)

“Attention, Wal-Mart customers. All blacks need to leave the store.”

Wal-Mart is supposedly shocked by hiring racists to harass their black customers.

When my dad got a night job at a Wal-Mart in Illinois, he introduced me to some of the racist propaganda masquerading as training videos. Granted, the message of one tape was for white stockboys not to call elderly black men as “boy” but it was more of a wink, wink, nod, nod “don’t do that in public” thing. I don’t have a copy of the tape but I’m sure it’s out on the Net somewhere.

Besides, Wal-Mart knows how to butter it’s bread. Cater to the racist NECKCAR fans and then buy out any competition in minority-majority areas to where folks HAVE to put up with their racist shit.

I Am Angry

I like this:

Sometimes a little righteous indignation goes a long way.


You are facing a bully. Deal with it!

Republicans want the country backwards. They champion superstition over science because it entrenches ignorance and bigotry and captures the easily frightened.

Republicans treat the Constitution the way they treat the Bible, with selective interpretation and selective application to others while exempting themselves from judgment and accountability.

Republicans preach the gospel of fear because fear is darkness and darkness covers their theft of civil liberties and Constitutional principles.

For thirty years the Republican Party has claimed the mantle of law and order but now quake in dread of the American judicial system when putting terrorists on trial. How criminal is that?

Torture is illegal. Period. John Wayne and Jack Bauer were not our Founding Fathers – only in the make-believe world of Republican drugstore-patriots.

DADT needs to be repealed. Now. It is unconscionable, immoral, and disgusting.

Empathy, compassion and equality are not pejoratives. They are American values proven again and again throughout our history.

Republicans believe that bake-sales and cookies for chemotherapy best determine the value of life and healthcare because life is a pre-existing condition and the “free market” should not have to take on such a high risk – after all, no one gets out alive, so why should the corporation be left holding the bag? Unless of course the price is right.

Republicans believe that government should keep its hands off healthcare but should put its hands inside a woman’s body.

Republicans believe in small government – small enough to hold the “right” people and small enough to be owned and operated by the “right” people. And who are the “right” people? Them. Not you.
