I didn't find this offensive so much as puzzling.

I had to go into Wal-Mart to get some stuff for Thanksgiving and every TV in the store was showing adds for Wal-Mart's black Friday sales and hosting the adds was a stereotypical loud black man, and I have to ask why?

I mean because the day has the word black in it you have to have black man yelling and using poor grammar????

Is this really how things work in the year 2014?

It wasn't so much offensive as stupid and I am surprised in a day and age the silliest thing can get a company or a person called racist an add like this got past the planning stage.

It's just odd.
