Again? Black People Told to Leave Whole Foods


Call this the Stuff Black People Don’t Like open challenge. We told you about the Wal-Mart story that shocked the nation: a minor commandeering the public address system and requesting – politely – that “All Black people leave the store.”

Soon, this story captivated the country for the sheer temerity of a person to pose such an abhorrent and detestable request to Black people was a clear indicator that something was rotten in Denmark, er, New Jersey.

Well, guess what? It has happened again:

For the second time in less than a month, a New Jersey teenager has been arrested for allegedly making a racist announcement over a store's public address system.

The latest incident happened over the weekend at the Whole Foods Market on River Road in Edgewater, according to the Bergen Record.

A 14-year-old girl reportedly grabbed the microphone at the store's courtesy desk and said, "All blacks leave the store."

A store employee immediately called the police, according to the Record, and the girl and a 14-year-old boy who was with her were taken into custody moments later.

The girl is reportedly charged with bias intimidation and harassment.

There's no word of any charges against the boy. Their names have not been released because they're juveniles.

"Whole Foods Market has a zero-tolerance policy regarding all matters of prejudice and continues to work with local law enforcement on this issue," said Whole Foods spokesman Michael Sinatra, in an interview with the Record.

Just last month, a 16-year-old boy was arrested after a similar incident at a Wal-Mart in Turnersville, New Jersey. In that case, the boy allegedly went on the store's intercom and announced, "Attention Wal-Mart customers: All black people, leave the store now."

He is also charged with bias intimidation and harassment. Police are reportedly treating the Whole Foods incident as a "copycat situation."

Edgewater Police Detective Lt. William Skidmore told the Record the girl and her friend have been released to their parents.

He also said there was no indication the teens were under the influence of drugs or alcohol.”

Bias intimidation? Is that not what happened in Kansas City this past weekend, when 1000 Black people engaged in a ‘Flash Mob’ and made a simple trip to an outdoor mall impossible?

Edgewater is a nice city, boasting a high-percentage of America’s favorite model minority – Asians – and a statistically insignificant Black population:

As of the 2000 census[5], there were 7,677 people, 3,836 households, and 1,971 families residing in the borough. The population density was 9,060.6 people per square mile (3,487.2/km2). There were 4,277 housing units at an average density of 5,047.8/sq mi (1,942.8/km2).

As of the 2000 census, the racial makeup of the borough was 67.12% White, 10.45% Hispanic or Latino of any race, 3.52% African American, 0.21% Native American, 23.12% Asian, 0.04% Pacific Islander, 2.94% from other races, and 3.05% from two or more races. 11.83% of Edgewater's residents identified themselves as being of Korean ancestry, which was the ninth highest in the United States and seventh highest of any municipality in New Jersey, for all places with 1,000 or more residents identifying their ancestry.[16] 3.22% of residents identified themselves as being of Japanese ancestry, which was the third highest of any municipality in New Jersey, behind Fort Lee (6.09%) and Demarest (3.72%).

The simple telling of a joke is now grounds for a criminal record, with the charge of ‘Bias Intimidation’ a fitting tribute to the power of Black Run America (BRA).

‘Bias Intimidation’ as a category of criminal offense seems to be an effort to break the monopoly of real crimes committed that Black people find themselves currently maintaining and an all out effort to bring diversity to the court rooms.

However, the real question has to be asked: We know that Black people love Wal-Mart, but who in the world has ever seen a Black person shopping at Whole Foods, a store thought to be the sanctuary of Disingenuous White Liberals?

Remember McDonald’s is 365 Black for a reason. Passing on seconds is an idea Black people find inappropriate when dining, thus the need to shop for healthy provisions and organically grown vegetables and fruit is a thought dreadful to Black people anyway.

Whole Foods CEO John Mackey – a huge fan of Ayn Rand – recently published a piece in The Wall Street Journal bemoaning universal healthcare (Black people don’t like paying for it):

“With a projected $1.8 trillion deficit for 2009, several trillions more in deficits projected over the next decade, and with both Medicare and Social Security entitlement spending about to ratchet up several notches over the next 15 years as Baby Boomers become eligible for both, we are rapidly running out of other people's money. These deficits are simply not sustainable. They are either going to result in unprecedented new taxes and inflation, or they will bankrupt us…

Unfortunately many of our health-care problems are self-inflicted: two-thirds of Americans are now overweight and one-third are obese. Most of the diseases that kill us and account for about 70% of all health-care spending—heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes and obesity—are mostly preventable through proper diet, exercise, not smoking, minimal alcohol consumption and other healthy lifestyle choices.

Recent scientific and medical evidence shows that a diet consisting of foods that are plant-based, nutrient dense and low-fat will help prevent and often reverse most degenerative diseases that kill us and are expensive to treat. We should be able to live largely disease-free lives until we are well into our 90s and even past 100 years of age.”

Like most Libertarians, Mackey doesn’t understand that if his beloved policy of freedom and accountability were put in place, the majority of Black people – who rely on government jobs, handouts and programs to live – would be in serious trouble, without prospects for succeeding in the Brave New Libertarian World.

SBPDL has to ask: How many Black people were even in the Whole Foods when the evil incident of ‘Bias Intimidation’ occurred?One or two maybe? Did they leave?

And now, for the open challenge from Stuff Black People Don’t Like. The first person to go to a store and demand “All White People Please Leave” will receive a copy of a book from SBDPL.

You must bring a video recorder with you and record the event, making sure we can hear the demand once it is played over the PA system. Post the video to Youtube.com, and we will help it go viral.

We wager no ‘Bias Intimidation’ will be filed against you.

Who will take the SBPDL Challenge?
