So, myself, my wife and my step-daughter were in Wal-Mart tonight shopping after going out for dinner. We were in the store for a while, browsing thru different things including a few school supplies that were lost by my 6th grader. Probably there until 830pm, Wal-Mart is slow at that time. Walking separately from my family down the main aisle in the back between electronics and clothing, I spotted one (or two) teenagers, with what I assume (and found out later) were their siblings. They were "riding" fast on the carts, talking/yelling and acting a bit rambunctious. Seemed like a few kids (I thought they were white kids, more about this in a bit). As they passed by, I thought to myself that they are going to be kicked out of the store. Going back to my family, we finish shopping and head to checkout. There, on the bench in front our our lane, are the kids (teen and siblings) with the mom in the front, talking to what appeared to be a bit disheveled manager. The family at first seemed white, all very light skinned, only a very vague hint of Hispanic skin tone. As the conversation continued, the mom's voice kept rising and rising until my 11 yr old said "she's making me very uncomfortable"... clearly my step-kid was getting scared. The conversation started like this... "Your white associates following my mixed kids around is not appropriate, it's racist. Just because they are black and latino doesn't mean you can follow them around." Followed by screams of... "White Privilege! White Privilege!" joined by the sassy mouthed teen, complete with the "no you dident" hips swaying and finger pointing. Then... "The only reason you followed my kids around is that they were mixed in a 'white' Wal-Mart" Then... "What should you do? Well, I want your white racist associate fired, and that manager who was here before, I want her racist butt fired". Finally... "Go ahead, CALL the cops!!!" At this point she was screaming... After the manager got on the phone with what I assume was 911, the local sheriff's dept arrived (4 cars, at least 4 to 5 guys). I saw another manager, talked to her (hispanic or latino btw) and told her I wanted to talk to the management and the police. I then gave a statement about what I saw and left, not sure what happened after I left. .... thanks BHO for a great legacy there ...
