what makes this clip interesting is NOW she mentions that interaction as evidence of racism because people only saw her as a servant.

this clip demonstrates that she originally saw it for what it was, a chance to help a fellow citizen.

only a sicko would later twist it into something that fits some meme

Soooo...it wasn’t because she looked like she was black and worked there, it was because she was a ginormous wookie....

I will continue to ask a tall person to reach something for me when necessary.

...well, I’ll tell you...I’m 6’4, and I’m darn tired of being treated like a ‘bigger’ when I’m in a store with high shelves...

She lied twice about this trip. The initial lie that someone was allowed to approach her and ask for help getting something from a top shelf. And the recent lie that the person approaching her assumed she was an employee. And what the heck is wrong with being assumed to be an employee of Target ? Sounds elitist and biggoted.

Maybe the other shopper was a plant to make MO look good by being helpful to one of the little people....... Kind of like the phony questioners at Demorat speeches.

For those who don’t know, Mooch and her hubby were recently interviewed by People mag. They both claimed to be on the receiving end of racism. Mooch told People a totally different take about this exact incident.

"Well, you didn't have to make it look that easy". That's a lie. I hope the lady remembers the incident and calls it in to local station.

Except I'll bet they checked t o make sure she's dead...and you know how it goes...dead men tell no tales.

Black or white....when I see a biiiiig tall male, I always ask if they played basketball.

Yeh...I'm racist. I was also 5' when I played basketball. But I played white basketball.

She must have mistaken the First Lady for Nate Thurmond.

At least you don’t have to wear rock climbing gear when you go to the grocery! The frozen food section is practically Everest! Know where I can get a Sherpa?

In regards to the alleged racism, I’m 5’3” and white and little old ladies frequently ask me to reach stuff for them. I’ll try to remember to be offended from here on out.

How far America has degraded since these two ghetto trash pieces of shat have came into our lives.

It cannot be too soon for me or America before they are GONE and forgotten.

Hopefully into the trash bin of history.

What trash, filthy black trash.

Not that I believe her fabricated nonsense, but I would have thought that she’d be honored to be mistaken for someone who actually works for a living.

The funniest thing is, this is obviously the best example she could come up with of racism, because otherwise why would she have to lie and make one up?

This girl was born into South Side black aristocracy, hob nobbing with the privileged set and going to good schools. Who does she think she is kidding with tales of oppression from her one and only visit to Walmart?
