Recently the retail giant Walmart offered a slap in shoppers’ faces along with their low prices. With an announcement over the PA system demanding “all black people to leave the store” the discount store is now in the news for offending its minority customers.

Since the incident on Sunday 03/14/10, Wal-Mart execs have promised to thoroughly investigate how something like that could have happened, and have issued an apology.

Simply put that’s all these ‘big wigs’ could have done, besides firing the person who did this. Unfortunately, it’s nearly a week later and it’s surprising to not have a face and name to put with that remark.

Wal-Mart is recognized among millions, especially minorities more so than it’s competitors in the same market for example Target, but some are considering to not “walk through those doors again”. Is boycotting the answer? What can we hope to see come out of this? Will this be the last incident where Wal-Mart nearly gives the finger to people of an ethnic background?
