Blatant Racism -- Satire

They're looting Wal-Marts today
  to solve America's problems tomorrow
Anyone with a heart can see
  Wal-Mart's blatantly racist pedigree

Why, they've hired a single black
  and non-white customers enter from the back
Only rich folks can afford their stuff
  their high-priced items cost so much

Wal-Mart robs and rapes our country blind
  a product of white folks' poisoned minds
If we can just burn down all their stores
  there won't be no racism in the USA no more

Racism is a cancer in mankind, its been there since time began, sadly I don't think it will ever be stamped out. Our world is full of racism, hatred and greed. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be a cure. Tom

The media tend to play out the 'justice for George' angle, esp. overseas... Well, the cop who did it has been indicted for manslaughter. What more do they want? … As you can see, it's not justice, but a flat-screen TV or the latest computer.

Oh, I wasn't aware that it was just a criminal act, I plead ignorance to that fact m'lud.

I intended this to be totally sarcastic. Those who are looting Walmarts are professionally organized. They have been spotted pulling up in U-Hauls, fanning out, and looting predetermined targets. It's got nothing to do with racism whatsoever. Oh, well... :) gw
