Walmart Pulls Black Lives Matter Shirts Off The Shelves Despite their history of deplorable business practices, we were a bit surprised when we found out that Walmart was selling #BlackLivesMatter hoodies . However, what we WEREN’T surprised at is the tears that fell from the faces of cops who were outraged that Walmart was supporting a “hate” group. Also in the “not surprised” category, is the fact that Walmart, likely in an effort to appease their…”conservative” constituency. USAToday reports: “Like other online retailers, we have a marketplace with millions of items offered by third parties that includes Blue Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter and All Lives Matter merchandise,” said a Walmart representative. “After hearing concerns from customers, we removed the specific item with the ‘bulletproof’ reference.” FOP National President Chuck Canterbury, in a letter sent Tuesday to Walmart President and CEO C. Douglas McMillon, called the shirts offensive and said he was concerned Walmart’s decision to sell them would “damage your company’s good name amongst FOP members and active and retired law enforcement officers.” Canterbury also chided third-party sellers for what he called an attempt to profit off racial division. “Commercializing our differences will not help our local police and communities to build greater trust and respect for one another,” the letter said. “Turning a buck on strained relationships will not contribute to the healing process.” Peep the whole letter below. Oooh, they so sensitive. Image via Twitter
