This is funny to me<\/a>: Public outraged over Black Lives Matter merchandise being sold on Walmart.com<\/span><\/p>\n

This is about the definition of an everyone loses situation.\u00a0 White people are outraged over BLM crap being sold at Walmart, because they\u2019re all inherently racist and don\u2019t really think that black lives matter.\u00a0 Black people are outraged over BLM crap being sold at Walmart, because they feel that the movement is \u201ctheirs,\u201d and take offense to someone other than \u201cthem\u201d making money on it.\u00a0 Walmart loses because it doesn\u2019t matter what they do, they can\u2019t not get negative press, further reinforcing the notion that they are incapable of ever doing the right thing, except finding an endless well of bridges to burn for the sake of nickel and dime profiting.<\/span><\/p>\n

For me, the funniest thing about this entire thing is that when seeking stuff online like the t-shirt, it\u2019s the auto-population on the website that displays a BLM shirt on the guy from The Blue Lagoon<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0 He looks like about the last guy on the planet that would want to be seen wearing a BLM t-shirt, much less be immortalized on the internet as a victim of shitty code and lack of creativity and be screen grabbed as a fervent supporter of such \u201ca terrorist group.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not even get started on the fact that they sell a sweatshirt emblazoned with the phrase \u201cBulletproof.\u201d\u00a0 There is no doubt that someone out there will interpret that literally, and purchase the sweatshirt, thinking that it will protect them from gunfire. And then they\u2019ll go and try and rob a bank, or conversely, attempt to stop an armed criminal, and then get shot and learn immediately that it was not in fact, bulletproof.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bottom line is that Walmart did something stupid in the name of trying to make profit, and nobody is happy about it except for sadistic bystanders like myself.\u00a0 Aside from cheap plumbing, tools and disposable materials, I don\u2019t shop at Walmart to begin with, so this is pretty much a non-factor in my little world.\u00a0 Just take a few steps back and look at the situation; they\u2019re not selling BLM crap because the company actually believes BLs actually M, but because they see the potential to make money on it.\u00a0 Everyone who already isn\u2019t blinded by racism about merely the mention of BLM can see right through Walmart\u2019s bullshit, but they don\u2019t care.\u00a0 All that matters to Walmart in the end is profit, and it doesn\u2019t matter who they piss off or how many bridges they burn, just as long as it keeps coming in.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
