Company says it stands against any form of racism or discrimination

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.

Sale of T-shirts on Walmart Canada’s website with the words “All Lives Matter” printed across the front has drawn furor from social media users. The company is also selling T-shirts with “Blue Lives Matter” and “Irish Lives Matter” printed across them. In a statement, Walmart Canada says it stands against any form of racism or discrimination and promotes listening, seeking to understand and embracing individual differences.It says a third-party marketplace has a number of items with variations on the phrase “lives matter,” and it will review those items to ensure compliance with Walmart’s terms and conditions.

But several social media users called out the company, with one Twitter user identified as Farzana Khan asking Walmart to remove the T-shirts, calling them “disgusting.”Related topics

Segregation and prejudice only seems to matter to one group of people, so I guess only one group of people’s lives matter . Shame for thinking everyone’s lives matter.

Really? They decide what they sell, you decide what you buy. Don’t like it, don’t buy it, simple. They’re just a merchant selling goods. Not everything has to be political.

It is the true statement and it should be that.

What if they sold tshirt with the opposite message: Not all lives matter. The complaints would pour in about that too. My suggestion to the compainers, other than ShutTheFuckUp, is just don't buy the tshirt. Simple.

Does Trump own stock in Walmart?

Can’t believe they did that. Should of gone further with swimsuits, ... .

All lives matter

Under fire from real racists

I hope it still have i am going to get mine today

WHAT THE FU$% IS WRONG WITH THAT ALL LIVES MATTER

bought one nice shirt

I agree with Walmart, all lives matters. This is also just an opinion and Walmart can sell anything they want. Leave them alone. If you don't like it then don't shop there.

Walmart executives love Trump

Wasn’t it Walmart that was selling something a couple years back that had to do with swastikas and was cancelled and taken off the shelves. On going theme

I hope this puts a stop to Third Party sellers on these sites... It's so annoying to filter out the garbage products on Walmart and Best Buy's site.

Get mad at Walmart over their treatment of employees, not some dopey T shirts they sell.

Anything to make a buck... I wonder what will they sell when the fascists burn them down.

Am I missing the part that says white lives matter? Let me get this straight. ALL lives don't matter? That's a negative message? That we're all the same and we need to treat each life with respect. What a world!

I guess Walmart deserves the money of anyone dumb enough to buy that and wear it near a woke mob. If they are beat up or killed most pundits will say they deserved it even if authorities reluctantly press charges.

Why? All lives do matter.

Pure greed on the backs of black peoples oppression. Nothing new. Thired party or not.

Media saying NOT all lives matter, that's racist.

Saying 'All Lives Matter' is like going to a cancer fundraiser and saying 'but there are other diseases too!'. Yes, every life matters, but Black lives are being disproportionately impacted and killed because of racism, and that's why Black Lives Matter is so important.

Why, by golly - they're under fire! Under fire! For once, I would like to see a company like Walmart just sit on their hands, do nothing, say nothing and keep selling the T shirts. The tempest will pass.. If Walmart goes woke it will not move the needle on sales one iota.

I can buy one. I am a person of colour, not black, my life matters.

Yet another reason to not shop there.

Not a good look Walmart

I buy one...

All lives matter anybody who disagrees with that is a racist black lives matters is a racist organization oh I should say I racist terrorist organization

No reason why they should not. It’s a true statement that could help in the long run.

Because it's having a go at black lives matter, if you can't see that you really need to wake up.

Canadians are better than that Wallmart. Take your Divisie rubbish back to the “United” States

👎

I just want to say a word: fuck! Why only black lives matter? Should we all become slaves of the blacks?

If they sold a shirt, “all whites are racists” we would not be hearing about it. Walmart’s message is correct and they are only under fire by the left wing mob, no real people.

Shaun is with BLM.

what the fuck is wrong with selling All Lives Matter’ T-shirts

Message here is: “Walmart, CONFORM OR ELSE”. Calling the wokestapo’s bluff is the only acceptable answer. Anything else is capitulation.

Can you tell me which lives do not matter?

Under fire from whom? Report facts first!

FFS

lambert_pp can i order one online ? hope it has a baby on it

Does that mean we must divide people by race when we suggest that lives matter? Should we also divide people by age and gender when determining whether their lives matter? Must we support a race based movement that also supports destructive Marxist ideology?

Why? ALL lives do matter.

Why ?!

It shouldn't be

Under fire from who? Who thinks they’re better than All? LifeMatters

Everyone is upset with Walmart except the public.

So all lives do not matter is what your saying? That is just kinda fucked up IMO.

Well Walmart is Republican
