Default America has bred the perfect Consumer!

Or has it?

I went to the Walmart in my parent's town on Thanksgiving around 8pm. I was driving back to the hotel and I saw it PACKED! Therefore I went in, and expected to interview people about why they are there. Instead I saw this, videoed it, and was promptly kicked out of the store
Video footage is 49 secs.

Walmart madness:

Yep, nothing like trampling others to save a few bucks on a TV. Consumerism and mental issues all balled into one.

Sadly, I did not see anything out of the norm.

I bet the gov't could disqualify a bunch of disability claims if they just attended black friday sales.

Watching that reminds me I really, really, really need to purchase a rifle just in case the ACA is the straw that breaks the camels back.

Not being rascist, but around my way the Walmarts got the same if not worse from other trash of other colors. Fat black welfare queens, who got nicer and newer cars than I do. This is not a white biased thing, but poverty based perhaps.

Amazing they can pay for a 2 year old benz or BMW on welfare and food stamps. (I won't even be approved for a loan from them) freaking amazing

Am I automatically a rascist for pointing that out?

I bet if car companies asked for check stubs to back up payment, that crap would dry out.

Black welfare queens in nicer cars. This is not prejudice of course, but so unfair. People having more money than you. But most of the people on earth have less money than someone else (there can be only one being the richest by definition, you know).

Of course not, i take it the richest people in the US of A are still white.
Ok, maybe Aretha Franklin, or Tina Turner? But what do i know..

Quote:

Of course there can be no white welfare queens and kings. They are just better dressed ? Or have no cars ? How do you identify them.

a.s.o. a.s.o. but i guess i am too tired.

Morally, that is the correct thing to say. In all practicality however, all generalizations are not necessarily wrong. From my experience, that is as an inconvienant and ugly truth as racism itself. There are always exceptions to any given generalization, and any given rule, but for some things they are correct more often then they are wrong.
