Wal-Mart: Planet of the insensitive

Is someone at Wal-Mart playing some racist joke or is this just a glitch? Check out what some of our supporters emailed us about today. You won’t believe it. When you type in “Planet of the Apes: The Complete TV series,” Wal-Mart actually recommends a movie about ‘Martin Luther King: I Have a Dream’ and 'Introducing Dorothy Dandridge.’

Remember Wal-Mart’s recent past. Last year, Wal-Mart used a Nazi image in an ad, called the police on an African-American executive who wanted to purchase gift cards, and was sued by an African-American truck driver for racial discrimination.

And, now, we just found out, after several press inquiries about this situation, Wal-Mart has suddenly switched its web page.

Does Wal-Mart have a racial problem?
