Walmart's Racism |
"Walmart.com's item mapping process...is mapping seemingly random
combinations of titles."
-- Wal-Mart statement, 1/5/06, on why the store's retail Web site "directed
potential buyers of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' and 'Planet of the
Apes' DVDs to also consider purchasing DVDs with African American themes."

VERSUS
"A business manager...programmed the site so that shoppers who bought any
boxed set also would be offered the movie about [Martin Luther King Jr.] and
other black-themed films."
-- New York Daily News, 1/7/06, on how a Wal-Mart employee purposefully
linked the films.

Looks like Walmart has bitten the Bush apple of intolerance and racism.
Sinners!
