I found this video about the whole Don Imus incident I posted about earlier. This video sheds a humorous light on it.

They also created this video about it.

On April 4, 2007, Don Imus referred to the Rutgers girls basketball team as “nappy headed-hos.” Soon after, many were irate, including radical activists Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Imus was later given a 2-week suspension, but not after going on a apology tour. He appeared on Al Sharpton’s radio show, where he said, “Our agenda is to be funny and sometimes we go too far. And this time we went way too far. Here’s what I’ve learned: that you can’t make fun of everybody, because some people don’t deserve it.” Even though he apologized and was publicly humiliated, Sharpton still wanted him to be fired.

He was later fired. He kept on apologizing. The Rutgers girls tried to sue him, but later quit after they realized it was pointless. He is back on the air. But he is still the same guy. Even before this incident, he would insult others on his radio show. But because he insulted some black people, that was the end of the world.

Most victims would probably say that words of apology are not the end of a process, but a first step.

This is true to a point. When someone asks for an apology, the victim is not obligated to accept their apology, yet it is usually best to accept it. The victim should not be selfish and not accept an apology, just because they are so full of pride and are mad that they were wronged. We should accept and forgive when ever one seeks forgiveness.
But seeking forgiveness and repenting are two completely different things. Seeking forgiveness is seeking an apology. But, repenting is something much bigger and more labor intensive. Repenting is a turning from the action which wronged and turning to the opposite and not offending again.

Wal-Mart is not all about buying only from over-seas, Chinese factories. They buy from American, local, owned, and operated companies when it makes sense and benefits everybody. Furthermore, they also try to buy from companies owned by minorities and women. Wal-Mart supports the local communities and economies; the suppliers create more jobs as a result of the demand; more workers creates more capital and a revenue stream into the economy. Everybody wins.

This movie is completely biased. It shows one side; it does not give, or even attempt at, a different opinion. The director, Robert Greenwald,  has made several clearly anti-republican and anti-conservative films. He is a wannabe Michael Moore, twisting the truth and using evidence out of context.

The movie rags on WalMart for 1.5 hours. They “expose” several misleading WalMart gives its patrons and employees. They complain about the working wages, the factory conditions, and the revenue it drives in. When a WalMart moves into town several “mom and pop” stores cannot compete, thus they must closes their doors. It is unfortunate that happens but that is life. WalMart does nothing illegal. The smaller stores cannot compete with WalMarts buying power. The movie complains about the healthcare WalMart makes available to the employees. It also points out several instances where people are forced to get state Medicare. I’m sorry, but I missed it when healthcare was an entitlement the employer was forced to give its employees. I don’t know of another part time minimum wage job, which gives its employees any healthcare. People also complained about the hourly wage, the managers forcing them to work off the clock, and the inability to create a union.

It ultimately comes down to this: If you don’t like it, leave. If you don’t like working for WalMart, quit. If you don’t like WalMart’s practices, vote with your feet and don’t shop there.
