It was a joke dips**t. Racism truly ends when people can make jokes and they are taken as jokes.Never once in my whole life have I been offended by someone making a white joke. Why do you get offended when someone makes a black joke? In fact she just said "All black people leave the store". She didn't say "All filthy nappy dumb gentlemen" or something truly offensive. She just said "black". Why does being called "black" offend you? If I was in a store and someone said "All white people leave the store" it wouldn't even remotely offend me.
For the record, I don't think it's funny, nor appropriate, for anyone to do such a thing. It just makes them an assh**e.Yet, in a strange way, it's sort of good to see this kind of thing going on.The day everyone who does something like this is just doing it because they think it's funny (because they're an ass) instead of doing it because they really hate [insert your choice of race here], that will be a good day for humanity.When that black kid did the same thing in the Wal-Mart, he felt confident enough in being black in this society to pull that prank, and did so for clearly other than racist reasons. I don't think even 50 years ago that kind of prank would have been viewed as funny by anyone, except those who were racist.This kind of thing makes those of us who hate and grew up with rampant racism twitch with a little rage. Our youngest citizens experience so little of it that it's actually funny to them. Good thing? Bad thing?
Um, yes. Private property does supersede the constitution. You are not allowed to do whatever the hell you want in someone else's store just because we have free speech. Thats not how it works moron.
Black people like Kool-Aid not grape drink. That can from the second Harold and Kumar movie. I still don't get that joke. As a black person he should have used Kool-Aid that was all I drink as a kid. That is what black comedian joke about so I don't get the grape jokes.

I am sure if someone got on the PA and said "All Whites Leave the Store" they would be charged accordingly.
