Walmart yanks “All Lives Matter” merchandise from its website
“Walmart is no longer selling ‘All Lives Matter’ clothing on its website after coming under fire for the merchandise, which references the Black Lives Matter movement and mantra.
The Bentonville, Arkansas-based retailer has removed those items sold by its third-party Marketplace vendors ‘indefinitely’ after some associates and customers raised concerns. ‘We fundamentally believe all lives do matter and every individual deserves respect,’ the company said in a written statement.
‘However, as we listened, we came to understand that the way some, but not all, people are using the phrase ‘All Lives Matter’ in the current environment intentionally minimized the focus on the painful reality of racial inequity.'”
