Minimum-Wage-Raising, Mysterious-Store-Shutting Wal-Mart Removes All Confederate Flag Merchandise From Stores

Tyler Durden's picture




 

In the latest populist act of America's largest retailer, minimum-wage-raising, mysterious store-closing Wal-Mart has decided to remove all Confederate Flag merchandise from its stores. Apparently it will continue to stock handguns, rifles, crossbows, ammunition, and other land-of-the-free-to-choose merchandise.

 

 

As CNN reports,

Walmart, the country's largest retailer, will remove all Confederate flag merchandise from its stores, the company told CNN Monday.

 

The announcement is the latest indication that the flag, a symbol of the slave-holding South, has become toxic in the aftermath of a shooting last week at a historic African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina. Gov. Nikki Haley announced in a Monday afternoon news conference that she supports removing the Confederate flag from the state capitol grounds.

 

Walmart.com currently carries the Confederate flag as well as attire featuring the flag's design, such as T-shirts and belt buckles.

 

"We never want to offend anyone with the products that we offer. We have taken steps to remove all items promoting the confederate flag from our assortment -- whether in our stores or on our web site," said Walmart spokesman Brian Nick. "We have a process in place to help lead us to the right decisions when it comes to the merchandise we sell. Still, at times, items make their way into our assortment improperly -- this is one of those instances."

 

Walmart's statement came in response to a CNN inquiry Monday. In addition to Walmart, CNN asked Amazon and eBay whether they would remove Confederate flag merchandise from their sites. Neither company responded to repeated requests for comment.

 

The long-running debate over displaying the Confederate flag on government buildings took a swift turn after last week's massacre in Charleston, which left nine African-Americans dead in their church. The shooter, 21-year-old Dylann Roof, has confessed to the murders and has said he wanted to instigate a "race war."

 

One widely circulated photo of the shooter holding a gun and a Confederate flag has stirred intense outrage. Critics of the flag quickly called on South Carolina to take down what is widely viewed as a symbol of racism.

One quick question... what happens if the next gunman/terrorist/shooter/nutjob is carrying an American Flag?

Lee freed his slaves long before the war. He was the first white man to kneel down with blacks when his church integrated. On the other hand Grant worked as overseer on his father-in-law's plantation.

"The march of Providence is so slow, and our desires so impatient; the work of progress is so immense and our means of aiding it so feeble; the life of humanity is so long, that of the individual so brief, that we often see only the ebb of the advancing wave and are thus discouraged.

"... every man should endeavor to understand the meaning of subjugation before it is too late.  We can give but a faint idea when we say it means the loss of all we now hold most sacred -- personal property, lands, homesteads, liberty, justice, safety, pride, manhood. It means that the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy; that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers; will learn from Northern school books their version of the War, will be impressed by all influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors, our maimed veterans as fit objects for their derision. It means the crushing of Southern manhood; to establish sectional superiority and a more centralized form of government, and to deprive us of our rights and liberties." — Gen. Pat Cleburne, CSA

In my experience about half of them stand around while the other half pick up the slack just like anywhere else. The loafers do have some value as warm bodies when things get busy but I don't understand why some folks moan that the loafers don't make a living wage (sob!) at the expense of those who pitch in and do their work for them. I suppose that the world would end if employers had the right to pay people for the actual labor performed instead of "a living wage" regardless of how much some employees exploit the good work habits of other employees.

I shop there. I use my eyes and ears.

Last week standing in line a young fellow rushes up to the register, apologizes and nods toward his three coworkers standing in the back. He said, "Just stand there while the line grows" and shook his head. He said they were busy complaining about the supervisor. The supervisor is a nice lady named Chrissie who is always polite and efficient while those criticizing her were getting paid to loaf. So just how much does a loafer need to live and why should I care?

Wouldn't the world be a better place if the loafers got paid for their input and Chrissie and the young fellow who rushed up to check us out had access to the pay that the loafers were stealing through laziness? But of course that would be "unfair."

They do stock ar15s for situations like this:

It started off like any average ‘First Friday’ in Florence, Alabama. It ended with a glimpse into the racial nightmare that awaits the European peoples in the coming racial apocalypse. Earlier this month, the Dawes family participated in the familiar civic event before starting to make their way home as evening descended. A group of Blacks, numbering between 20 and 30, chose this moment to set upon them with fists and weapons. Fourteen year old Brandon was the first to be singled out. He was struck violently from behind with a closed fist. When dad Kevin realized what was happening, he quickly moved to defend his son, positioning himself between Brandon and the attacker. At this point the whole frenzied mob moved in to screams of ‘Get that White!’ The feral crowd only dispersed to the sounds of police sirens, but by then the family’s car windshield had been destroyed, and Kevin had several Taser burns and broken facial bones.

The government and police response in the aftermath of the incident tells us all we need to know about our growing need to organize and educate for adequate racial self-defense. Pressed by the media on whether the incident would be treated as a ‘hate crime,’ Police Chief Ron Tyler has been hesitant in the extreme, stating only that the attack was being looked at “from all possible angles.” There is only one angle from which this incident can be viewed – the angle of ceaseless racial conflict.

 

If you are a whitey with a decent size black population close by.. might want to get a couple 3 or 4 and train the whole family how to lay down suppressing fire.

What we have in each of these situations is Whites on the defensive.

In San Jose they replaced the Liberty Bell with a statue of Montezuma, the Aztec emperor. History teaches us that in wars the conquerors start changing the street names and tearing down the reputation of the conquered people’s founders. This has been happening in South Africa since the whites voted for suicide in the elections of 1992 and 1994. You must realize that you are seeing this happen in your own country.

Wal-Mart's owners the sons and daughters of Sam Walton, gave MILLIONS of dollars in both 2008 and 2012 to the Barak Obama campaign. That ought to tell you about Wal-Mart. And they supported Obamacare and that EVIL Trade bill that passed the House thanks to Boehner, father-in-law of a black African.

Then you had the Indian (ASIA) Governor of South Carolina who appointed a black as REPUBLICAN US Senator, DEMANDING that the Confederate flag be taken down in Charleston. You had that SWINE Mitt Romeny tweeting to ban the Confederate flag. and on and on the Repukes worse than the Democrats because the Repukes BETRAY their base: THE WHITE VOTERS.

It is truly astounding how easily White Americans permitted themselves to be dispossessed in their own land.

The fact that Roof’s best friend, Christon Scriven , was Black, that a third of his Facebook friends were Black, is quite, quite ODD wouldn't you say.

Charleston Killer Planned to Shoot up College Campus Instead of a Church, Claims Black Drinking Buddy Who Says They Were ‘Homeboys’

But Scriven said that he never spoke with Roof about race, instead chatting about fishing, NASCAR and guns. Roof’s now-deleted social media accounts also listed several black people as friends.

One of them, Caleb Brown, knew Roof in grade school and high school. He said: ‘He never once said anything to me derogatory, racist, anything like that. Otherwise we would have not been friends.’

Speaking to CBS News, he said neither Roof nor his family seemed to be hateful people.

‘Get that White!’: A Gaze into a Coming Nightmare of Non-Prosecution of Hate Crimes Against Whites

It started off like any average ‘First Friday’ in Florence, Alabama. It ended with a glimpse into the racial nightmare that awaits the European peoples in the coming racial apocalypse. Earlier this month, the Dawes family participated in the familiar civic event before starting to make their way home as evening descended. A group of Blacks, numbering between 20 and 30, chose this moment to set upon them with fists and weapons. Fourteen year old Brandon was the first to be singled out.

Unfortunately we happen to live in an age of duplicity on a mass scale. There is no racial conflict, we are told, only very bad ‘racists.’ The race traitors and Jews that fill the minds of our youth with the bile of ‘Whiteness Studies’ are so very careful to remind us that while race is a ‘social construct,’ only ‘Whites’ can be racist. Whites are ‘trained’ oppressors, who dominate and exploit simply by existing. We are the personification of ‘hate,’ and we can therefore never expect equal application of ‘hate crime’ laws. They are, in fact, ‘White crime’ laws –designed specifically for our people to be held on a leash. They are the rope that forces us to engage in the racial struggle for existence with one hand tied behind our back.

Laddie,

Perhaps not you or I, or our close associates, but Caucasians are a suicidal race.

If you legislate away any heredity or social related advantages that Caucasians enjoy, such as higher IQs, greater socialization and co-operative skills, and make it politically incorrect for Caucasians to display any family, clan, or tribal cohesiveness, then add preferences for outsiders, the game has been rigged and it is only a matter of time. Perhaps we are anachronisms.

African lions are considered a beautiful and noble beast by most, yet they are heading for extinction, just as the more difficult to admire, hyenas, are thriving. I suppose that many will grieve when the lions are lost. The handsome, noble, and creative tribes of Europe, not so much.

You've succinctly summed up the problem. The lions, the most majestic of big cats, are being poisoned by the blacks in Africa with US made pesiticides, I mean they are DELIBERATELY POISONING these royal animals. What a loss, just as the blacks are driving the gorillas to extinction by eating them. In fact in the Bronx and Brooklyn boroughs of New York City, on the black (no pun intended) market one can buy GORILLA PAWS for munching!!!!

What you say is quite true for our civilization is dying. Identity Christians describe this phase as Jacob’s Troubles and what the secular Guillaume Faye would, I think, describe as the catastrophe required to get people motivated. Time is running out for the historic America and for our race.

In antiquity, the conquering hordes, killed the children of the conquered “before their faces”, as a lesson to the latter. It was a “this is why” statement on the part of the former. Today’s Whites don’t believe in “Why”, so they never learn the reasons behind these violent acts perpetrated on their own flesh and blood.

First you get a .45 then you find a historic church....but are you sure that you want to follow in Dylann's footsteps? So far you're right on track.

 

Roof’s manifesto begins with the claim: “I was not raised in a racist home or environment.” The 21-year-old, who was arrested Thursday, claims he was not interested in race until the Trayvon Martin case. Roof says he felt it was obvious George Zimmerman was justified in shooting Martin, who was black and 17 years old. Roof’s interest in that case led him to begin researching “black on White crime,” he writes, naming the Council of Conservative Citizens’ website as a major influence

Something about the Nature of Power and how European Power was wielded over the Millennia.

House Intel Committee Chair: USA at 'Highest Threat Level We Have Ever Faced'...

http://washington.cbslocal.com/2015/06/22/devin-nunes-us-threat-level

I mean Zio-Neocons like Obama follow the example of Royalty, Emperors, Rome, Catholic Church, Jesuits, Stalin, East Germany, and China.

I love the whole story of Stay Behind Armies in Europe to Defend against Communist Invasion which recruited Fascists and Nazis, provided them with funding, weapons, and intel. Compete with NATO Handlers, Code Names, and the Strategy of Tension which lead to more than a few Terrorist Acts, bombing, and even killing at least on police officer. In Italy it was called Operation Gladio and was fully investigated and made public (but just in Europe).

Imagine creating fear in your own people, just to change the politics. Yes, that is what we have in the USA now.

Just think, someday all that will be left of the Confederate flag will be the Novorossian rebel flag. If I have to go on the net for a flag, might as well get a German Imperial Navy battle flag. I can't imagine such a flag offending touchy people.

I was in the same boat once upon a time. I have been shopping at Walmart for 20 years.

Now I am surrounded by fucking snobs who boohoo Walmart and sing the praises of Wholefoods. WHOLEFOODS! I shit you not.

When I walk into Wholefoods, I swear to God, my sphincter tightens up and the desire to just start knocking front teeth out of those sissy girl granola faeries becomes nearly overwhelming.

Same thing about Coors Light. These ignorants sons of bitches I work with will pooh pooh me when I order a Coors Light.

It's unbelievable. Yuppy fucking rich boy silver spoon faggots who have zero idea of what it is to grow up poor and to fight for everything you have.

When I was growing up, Coors was absolutely, without question then end all of creation.

Full Disclaimer: I know now that Coors Light is really just Bud Light that has been strained through a dirty jockstrap, but I still maintain that is the way God intended beer to taste and anyone who doesn't agree either wears lace panties or actually has a vagina.

Nothing like further riling up the neocons' evangelical Christian base with some additional division idiocy.

Then while they are busy trying to defend some symbol, the neocons, and their Zionist masters, will be pushing the broomstick further on up the American people's keister.

Note: The KKK, the supposed dreadful link to the Confederate flag, was actually an armed insurrection against the North's tyranny against the South after the end of the North's successful invasion of the South.

At the war's conclusion, the North sent down profiteering carpetbaggers, and destroyed the South's economy with millions of suddenly freed slaves. Additionally, the North placed blacks into position of power over populations that did not elect them. The North occupied and oppressed the South until 1871, and actually invaded/occupied the South a second time in that period.

Additionally, and probably not coinincidental, after Zion founded the NAACP in 1909, the KKK was refounded in 1915.

Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..

 

As to the Confederate flag:

Thomas DiLorenzo made a succinct comment on it the other day on Lew Rockwell.com:

"Butler, perhaps you are thinking of pictures like these ones of the KKK parading around proudly displaying the U.S. flag, the flag that flew over the American slave empire from the late 1770s until 1866.  The fact that the Confederate flag was only an official government flag for about 4 1/2 years probably explains why the KKK preferred the U.S. flag."

i don't think you know what evangelical means now do you?

 

evangelical:  belonging to or designating the Christian churches that emphasize the teachings and authority of the Scriptures

 

The Apostle Pauls tells all Christians to desire and achieve the Fruits of the Spirit.  They are love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.  Funny how I don't see division or hatred listed.  Maybe I'm reading the wrong Bible.

I am almost a God fearing man Rikky, so please don't mistake my comment as an attack on anyone's religion, but I do think that sometimes the very fervency of religious conviction can be a little offputting to the average fellow, especially if that fellow doesn't share a similar background or basis for belief.

That why dudes like Socratic Dog can't stand the mention of faith. Say Boo to them about anything that isn't in the Book of Heisenburg or the holy writs of Freeman Dyson and they react just like a sneaky wolf who snuck into masters tent, guzzled a quart of pure grain alcohol and then ran outside to piss on the campfire.

True or not, it seems the evangelicals get credit for an excess of vigor and this tends to rub some people the wrong way.

The Mormons and the Baptists do the same thing smashing each other over the head with the Bible in their contentious debate to show who loves God most intensely and who is willing to punch whom in the eye to prove it.

You nailed what it means to be a Christian with what you said about Paul and you are most assuredly reading the right Bible.

Alas, Rachel Dolezal is not the only person self identifying as someone they clearly are not.

Lots of Christians running around with flaming swords in their hand claiming to be in the service of the Prince of Peace as they metaphorically burn, pillage, rape and kill in the pursuit of what they have convinced themselves is right.

That is why there are so many assholes like me who know what the right thing to do is, but aren't man enough in most situations to do it.

I will walk 200 miles in a snow storm for the chance to burn down your house, shoot your cow, wreck your farm and steal your gold, but I will be damned (literally) before I will turn an appraising eye on my own hypocrisy and actually clean my life up to the point where I can actually be of use to the Master.

Thank God there are fellows like you doing all the heavy lifting.

WalMart's decision is pure BS. The Confederate Flag is the flag of the Confederate States of America. Rivers of American blood stain the ground defending this flag. It is only a "Racist" symbol because an entire race of idiots say it is. When will the rest of the citizens of the US stand up and tell the whiners to get over slavery and get a job. There have been slaves in every part of the world for thousands of years - if all their descendants made the same demands that the former slaves do here in the US - most of the world's population would be on welfare.

Yes, however, the Confederate flag is just another one of Zion's instruments of division; another wedge to hammer into our society to divided and turn us against each other.

While many are paying attention to what this flag may or may not mean, Zion is continuing their plunder and murder of us all.

If one listens carefully, one can hear them laughing and rejoicing.

Well Tyler there was an incident a few years ago in California where the Mexican students were wearing apparel with Mexican flags, 5, FIVE White kids at the school wore American flag shirts, the assistant principal, a Mexican, told them to take them off or go home. Well the parents sued. The 9th District Federal Court based in San Francisco agree with the High School. The US Supreme Court agreed. Just as on the 18th of this month the Supreme Court agreed with the state of Texas and BANNED the Confederate flag license plates that had been allowed for DECADES for the sons of Confederate Veterans or whatever their exact name is... So both the Confederate flag and the American flag are HATE-FILLED RACIST RAGS according to the US SUPREME COURT.

The North had lots of slaves and lots of slave owners as well as the South in fact, it is well known that Thomas Jefferson had many hundreds of slaves, as did other signers of the Constitution.  The civil war was not about slavery until Lincoln made it about slavery.  The civil war was about unfair taxation, just like the revolutionary war.  The North had lots of fabric mills that produced cloth and clothing and wealthy Northern mill owners imposed upon Lincoln to place heavy export tariffs on cotton so Southern plantation owners could not sell their cotton overseas and were therefore forced to sell to Northern mill owners at cheap prices.  THAT's why the South rebelled and THAT's why Lincoln could not let the South secede, his rich mill owners needed the cotton but Lincoln knew he couldn't let that be widely known so he made it all about eliminating slavery and, just like today, the mainstream media of his day were only too happy to spread his carefully engineered lies.

The Confederte flag stands for Personal freedom, freedom from unfair taxation, and state's rights.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Standard revisionist historical nonsense.

The civil war was started because 9 million racist southern white crackas had a higher standard of living then the 21 million northern saints.
The northern saints decided that they were going to take what the south had (gold, silver, cotton, timber, fruit/vegetables) and then make war on the world for the bansksters.
Plus, the southern cracka culture was a leap ahead of the yankee hordes living in slums.
After the war rich jews came down and stole what wasn't welded down.
The racist white defeated crackas had the gall (antisemtiism) to call them "carpet baggers" after they made bags to fill with stolen southern loot out of expensive carpets that could not be duplicated north of the mason-dixon.

Confederate money is in high demand.

Confederate President had a Black son.

Last Confederate General to surrender was an Apache Indian Confederate General.

Confederate States paid out retirement pensions to ALL Southern troops past the 1950's. African American Confederates were paid retirement and medical and given assisted care till they all pasted.

Confederate troops included; Jews, American Indians, Germans, Italians, African Americans, Chinese, Mexican, more.

Confederate troops were integrated, and they fought side-by-side with your friends, family and neighbors which included Jews, American Indians, Germans, Italians, African Americans, Chinese, Mexicans, more.

Northern troops were segregated and did not fight beside the African Americans but kept them segregated into single units for slaughter.

Yankee African American troops were NOT given a retirement pension or land or company housing or free food or medical or assisted care. They got NOTHING.

As a person of Cherokee heritage, I would like to inform you,sir, of your need to research your statements. 

Last Confederate General to surrender was not an Apache Indian Confederate General!

Stand Watie (December 12, 1806 – September 9, 1871) — known as Standhope Uwatie, Degataga (Cherokee: ????, "stand firm"), and Isaac S. Watie — was a leader of the Cherokee Nation and a brigadier general of the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. He commanded the Confederate Indian cavalry of the Army of the Trans-Mississippi, made up mostly of Cherokee, Muskogee and Seminole, and was the final Confederate general in the field to surrender at war's end.

I fly the battle flag on my flag pole all day every day in memory of all the brave folks that died trying to prevent the North from destroying the Southern states.

Excellent historical comment!  That is my understanding, as well.  You get a thumbs up.  The last Confederate military surrender of the war was that of the officers and crew of the CSS Shenandoah (to the British, in England) after raising unshirted hell with Yankee whalers in the Sea of Okhotsk, blissfully unaware that the war was over until they made a port.

Most of my ancestors who lived in that era fought for the Confederacy, but there were a few Union soldiers in there too. One guy joined up with the Union because he was sick of the Confederates literally trying to kidnap him and carry him off to war. After the war was over there was bad feelings in his family (most of whom fought for the Confederacy) so he moved to a different state.

For decades, his health slowly deteriorated, and he applied for his U.S. Army pension many times and was rejected each time, even as he became more and more bedridden and disabled, with many reputable witnesses to testify to this. Finally he died and I think his widow might have finally been able to collect a meager pension after jumping through hoops.

I bet he died with a lot of regrets over that choice.

The more things change, the more they stay the same...

Of course we can condemn those nasty Confederates, but don't say anything bad about radical Islam!

if the confederate flag supp;osedly represents slavery, then the US flag represents even worse to the Native Americans.  i think it should banned and not sold anywhere as well no?

The only thing missing from the US flag is the names of the 13 largest western banks printed on the stripes.  The 50 stars represent the countries we've ruined and pushed into oblivion with wars and intrusive military bases most of them would rather not have.  So there you have it.  A whole new political order, same recognizable flag.

seems obuma is bring us all together - a country cannot exist where justice sees color not crimes.

the reptiles have this war well under control, the subversion of america has been ongoing for much longer than most here suspect. the weapon of mass immigration has shattered unity, the bleeding of wealth by banksters and off shoring jobs has impoverished more and more. The war against white america is near it's end they think they have won.

keep low and prepare as best you can. we are too violent a people to swallow much more.

Once we get the crackas out of the way, we will sing and dance to rap music, eating water melon and fried chicken while celebrating, like in South Africa and Zimbabway.
