WAl-Market has marked it's spot

Wal-Mart appears to be a hot topic for the southside, or is the topic Rev. Michael Latham or the NAACP? Let's see, the new Wal-Mart will open with limited hours on the southside, but not at it's other stores which are not located in a highly populated African-American and Latino population. Hmm, let's take a moment pause, before continuing. Next, the new Wal-Mart will not have a lay-away because lay-aways will be discontinued at the other stores sometime around November.

Wait a minute, so that MEANS that folks can still place lay-aways at the north stores, meaning the folks who are more than likely budgeting for Christmas who could use a lay-away with have to go north to shop. Well, I think MetroEdge explained this littl drama as float--the number of dollars that leave the African-American community to NEVER RETURN.


Now, Mr. Latham, he has charged discrimination, well a powerful word indeed!!! But, look at the demographics and it speaks for itself. You would think the powers to be would want folks to spend their dollars in their store located in their own neighborhood, by meeting their clients needs...that just business sense. If not, it could only mean one thing, discrimination.
And Mr. Latham ain't my friend, but he's definitely got a big point on this here issue, if I say so myself!!!

NAACP.

That acronym speaks power..just sitting there by itself, but it respresents lots and lots of people. African-Americans alone spends billions of dollars the day during the Christmas shopping season, and I don't think, the Wal-Mart wants word to get out that it is not playing fair to its customers because it is located in a neighborhood that is made up of a large number of African-Americans and Latinos? And I would think that the raced whited folks would be a little upset too, by Wal-Mart treating them different simply because they live among these African-Americans and Latinos.

I don't think it's a Scott's store thing either, because, Rev. Latham would be jumping for joy over Wal-Mart closing early. We (meaning African-Americans) know discriminate when we see it, hear it or read about it, Wal-Mart stores on the northside , not Scotts, does not want the competition. What happened to equal opportunity? Yes sir, in the words of an African-American about spending dollar, SHUT THEM DOWN (that is on the northside). But, that's just MY opinion.
