Three Walmart workers in McDonough, Georgia refused to decorate a “thin blue line” cake for a police officer’s retirement party because they said it was racist.
A number of my Georgia readers alerted me to the story and on Saturday night I spoke directly with the police officer’s daughter. She asked that I not divulge her name and I’ve agreed to honor her request.

“I was so shocked,” she told me. “I didn’t know what to do or say or anything. I was trying not to lose my temper or make a scene.”
“The baker told me the blue line cake was racist” — POLICE OFFICER’S DAUGHTER
For the record, Walmart has confessed that most of her allegations are true. I’ll have more on that a bit later in this column.
The BAKERS are racist for refusing to do this!
Who cares about being called a racist. Someone saying it does not make it true. We worry too much about the name calling in our society. The real issue is respect for the police, who represent law and order for the rest of us. WalMart workers (or any other worker) represent their firm while they are working. No one cares what their political opinions are. As a private citizen they can refuse to bake the cake. The store manager and all of the workers should be fired in a publicly humiliating way. Disrespect of the police must end or society will descend into chaos.
You know, the cake is an inanimate object so, therefore; it’s impossible for the cake to be the stupid “r” word.
With so much anti-cop leftists crud coming out, i wouldn’t be surprised to see those staffers given a PROMOTION rather than getting fired for doing this…
The only racist’s I see are 3 Walmart , anyone connected to the BLM movement and the number 1 moran who lives in the WH.
This comment falls in line with the 1st Amendment.
Agreed. The bakers are racist.
From now on whenever a bleeding heart liberal does something stupid, let’s just call them racist. They don’t have a defense against it. Example:
You’re a racist.
I’m not racist.
I don’t want to hear it you racist.
But why am I racist?
It wasn’t my fault. You just are. Racist.
I swear I’m not…
Why can’t racists like you ever stop talking?
But I’m not…
There you go again. Such a racist.
Taste of their own medicine.
Do what blacks do – RIOT, Loot and burn the place down. This isn’t racist its call the truth
I have only rarely entered our local Walmart and it was mainly because the store is very dark with low ceilings, giving one a cooped up feeling. You can bet your backside that if the managers at the Georgia store where this outrage took place do not remedy it and quickly, I won’t be the only one who will never darken their doors again!! Since when do employees get to set the policy of the stores in which they work. Fire them………….there are enough good people without jobs who would be happy to take their places and bake the officer’s retirement cake. It’s not Walmart’s fault that their employees did the wrong thing but it will be if they do not deal with these people harshly and QUICKLY!!
[Do what blacks do – RIOT, Loot and burn the place down. This isn’t racist its call the truth]
You can bet if us whites did that, we would get arrested en-mass and charged unlike blacks it seems..
I hope Walt Mart fires all 3 of them! They were hired to do a job-not make political statements! If they cannot work under those conditions–then LEAVE!!!!! Don’t let the door hit you when you go out JoAnne
I like this one…let the doorknob hitcha where the good Lord splitcha.
The word “racist” is highly overused and to even cut down a tree can be called racist because you have a bias against that tree! Racist is the democrats favorite word and applies to any and everything according to their diseased minds!! The baker was “racist” because the baker has a bias against cops!
Well, I stopped shopping at Target because of their bathroom/dressing room policy. I guess I won’t be shopping at WalMart now either.
At this rate, there won’t be many places left to shop at, if stores keep letting stupidity like this crop up without immediate action.
Fire Them wal mart! now. today. let everyone in your community know about this. put up flyers. wal mart owes the local police an apology with a press conference. don’t let these braindead cretins get away with this. enough.
Let me take a wild guess. They were anything but white and Walmart doesn’t want to be thought of as racist. Have you noticed that 99% of the time when someone says racist its coming from a Democrat. It probably won’t make any difference to Walmart, but you just lost another customer.
Marine, of the past dozen or so times i have been in walmarts, i would say a good 60% of what i see for customers are blacks. 20% or so whites, 10% or so latino, and the last 10% are a mix of what’s left..
So loss of some whites won’t hurt their bottom line that much i feel..
LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.
if you dont want to make a queer wedding cake you get sued and prosecuted to hell and back.
but if you dont want to make a cake for a retiring police officer your a hero?
this country is all but unfixable.
It is certainly looking that way more and more.. And all thanks to the great divider in chief, Obama!
You can thank the democrats. You and all your friends need to see the movie called-Hillerys America. The people in power won’t allow it to be shown on military bases overseas
So AFN Is censoring what movies are shown onbase?? If i were you i would rent it from out in town (if possible).. And then start a letter writing campaign to bash them..
Lets cut this PC BS off at the pass. Start firing these people immediatly for discrimination before this crap becomes the cool thing and it gets epidemic. Is there anyone anymore out there with a pair of nuts.
The ONLY way that RACIST PC CRAP is going to Stop,is to NOT put Ole barrys. RACIST buddy Lyin RACIST BENGHAZI CROOKILARY, in office!! TRUMP 2016,for ALL ppl!!
It’s already spreading like an epidemic.. First was that one restaurant, then came iirc a starbucks, then 3 more restaurants in quick succession, now this..
Capricorn: Let’s hold our fire on this one until it plays out, and we hear the response from Walmart, or an attorney. This case will certainly be instructive. I hope three people wind up looking for new jobs.
I am sorry but i am tired of ‘waiting to see what happens.. If someone does this crap, they should have an Immediate response from management..
The standard fall back line “that’s racist!” Never heard that one before.
Was it racist that I said that?!
I would LOVE to hear the argument from said walmart employee (Hopefully FORMER employee soon) what exactly is racist about the phrase “Thin blue line”?
It doesn’t make any difference to me if the three get fired or not, if I were the Walmart manager I would order them to make the cake and go from there. The term racist is being misused.
I guess we could say all Walmart employees are racists; all federal workers are racists; all public workers are raciest, etc..
We are all racists. That way we can all stop doing anything for anyone else.
DUH
Sorry, but NOT punishing them is just going to embolden them (and others) to do this again and again..
Who knows what they would put in that cake if they were forced to make it. I would rather see them fired and blackballed, (is that racist?) from the work force everywhere. Maybe a good beating to go along with it.
Fire every damn one of them involved. These jack-wagons don’t make policy, their bosses do. When did it turn so ***’ed backwards in this Country, that the employee’s tell Management what to do/not do. Let them sign up for Obamacare and reep those good benefits at Goodwill & St. Vinnie’s…*****, all of them!
There is no longer a respect for authority or rules in this country. The employer is the authority, you do what you’re paid to do in order to help the employer run their business. Taking action that denigrates or harms another race is racism, so explain to me how baking this cake is racist? Dumber than a box of rocks!!
This needs to be publicized, and the people of the town need to insist that if Walmart doesn’t fire them, they will boycott them.
The Walmart employee does have the right to refuse to decorate the cake, this is a free country, after all, the employee cannot be prosecuted or imprisoned for their expression. But Walmart also has the right to fire the employee, and if they don’t they may see their cake business in the toilet.
Apparently you are behind in your reading where the bakers in CO and WA were fined by the government for not making cakes for queers for their weddings and the florists for not doing floral arrangements for their weddings.
These are business owners who have the right to refuse service to anyone. A couple of them have had to close down.
So say again, it is supposed to be a free country, unless you don’t go along with this administrations agenda.
There are places that will put boobs or a penis on a cake. I wonder if there are color rules. why would they NOT decorate the cake?
If your Manager (Boss) tells you to do something and you refuse, so the Manager ends up doing the job, that is grounds for termination. At least it was before the liberals got so Political Correct and babying everybody. There is no way you can run a business if your employees refuse to do as they are told.
If Walmart doesn’t watch out and do something about their disrespectful, bigot employees, they could end up like Target who is still losing money & stockholders having a CEO stupid enough to take on Moms & Christians about a very touchy subject. Just like the disrespect of our police officers.
My dad is a retired officer of over 30 years on the job, worked undercover Narcotics most of his career, also SWAT. My half-brother is now on the job.
Excuse me barbra?? Do you honestly feel that an employee has the right to refuse to serve anyone at any time? Obviously you have not heard the DOZENS UPON Dozens of cases where bakeries were SUED for refusing to CATER a gay wedding, even if they would BAKE the cake for that gay couple….
BUT i guess to you, its ok to sue THEM, but not fine or fire this anti-cop employee…
Obama, because of his pre-existing hatred for America, has deliberately stirred up racial tensions in this country starting with his famous comment about the police acting stupidly. Along with his two AG’s, he has escalated the racial divide to the point where police officers are being targeted and executed by black activists, targeted by local DA’s for malicious prosecution for just doing their jobs, our black NFL players are refusing to stand for the national anthem and now, even a black female member of the U.S. Navy has proudly bragged about disrespecting our flag and the very nation for which she swore an oath of allegiance. As Barack Hussein Obama exits the White House we all need to seriously reflect on the enormous damage this man has done to our nation over the past 8 years.
Key word Deliberately, like the Useless Neighborhood Rabble rouser he is!! DITTO for LYING BENGHAZI CROOKILARY!!
I can’t help but think that Walmart will take some kind of action, namely to fire those three goofs. Hope this isn’t swept under the rug so we can determine just what Walmart will do about it. If we hear nothing – I’ll stop shopping at Walmart.
We can only HOPE walmart exec’s take that action. I fear cause of their liberalization over the years, that they might actually Honor these 3 in some way rather than reprimand them.
I am so sick & tired of these PC morons using any excuse to forward their “Twisted” agenda. I don’t know what the ethnic origin of these “protesters” is but I can only guess. Their “thin skin” antics only serve to widen the gap. They are destroying the fabric of our society. They should be fired.
Fire the idiots. NOW
I sincerely hope that Wal-Mart fires the three racist ******* who refused to do their job that they are being paid to perform. I further hope that when any of these three are in need of a policeman to protect them or a family member that….NO COPS show up and they get what they deserve…a good old fashion arse whippin’ or worse. Hopefully worse, we don’t need people like this living in the USA!!!!!!
Hmmm: refusing to bake a cake for a homosexual wedding = bad. Refusing to decorate a cake for a police officer = freedom of expression. NOT. First, those “dissenting” employees should be fired. Second, if I were the person ordering the cake, I would say ‘never mind’ and find another place because who knows what vile thing might be done to the cake by disgruntled employees. Third, if I lived in that area, I would let WalMart know that if something isn’t done to those who diss those who serve and protect (yes, police even protect those who protest against them), I would take my business elsewhere. I hope WalMart does the right thing.
What gets me is you would think with the amount of cops who work IN or outside a walmart store, that their managers would be MORE on the look out for attitudes like this.. SINCE its often the presence of those cops there that stops things getting out of hand…
The officer should file a discrimination lawsuit against Walmart AND the 3 employees. Let it be battled out in the courts and receive worldwide attention. Walmart would do well to fire the 3 belligerent/race-baiting/hate-filled incompetents and provide a settlement to the officer as a gesture of good will to the officer….and a warning and in an effort to quench any future problems with belligerent/racist employees,…and also… for ALL of their customers to realize that they appreciate their business and will always have their best interests at heart.
I love that suggestion. BUT i fear, with as many lawyers as they have, they could tie it up in red tape for years..
They could indeed tie it up in court….to their detriment. The wrongdoing and racist overtones by Walmart employees and several managers has already been established. In this case counsel would recommend settling quickly for a modest sum in an effort to get Walmart’s racially divisive and deplorable incident out of the public eye. If it remained an open wound for a long period of time….and under daily public scrutiny via the media….the stench of their racial ‘faux pas’ would continue to fester quickly becoming a red flag and constant reminder to the public of their unwillingness to make amends for their wrongdoing. The rewards of meekness and humility, rather than the repugnance one finds in obstinance, are without a doubt of greater value in business/consumer relationships.
[ If it remained an open wound for a long period of time….and under daily public scrutiny via the media…]
That would require the lame stream media to actually report on it.. And as we have already seen, there have been OTHER instances of this they completely ignored.
A bit of research reveals that certain media outlets have not ignored it…..both local and national….and have in fact reported the incident along with Walmart’s apology. Whether or not Walmart will change their lackadaisical approach at local levels regarding racist behavior with a simple apology is yet to be determined. Regardless of how many attorneys they have, a trip to the courtroom for a racially divisive infraction which also offers a slap in the face toward law enforcement, would indeed generate wider national coverage….generating a more stringent necessity for Walmart to intiate greater sensitivity from their employees toward their customer base…if they wish to keep their job.
I suppose these 3 are free to refuse to do their job, just as much as Walmart management is free to fire them over their refusal to serve patrons that support Walmart’s corporate image and interests. No one is forcing them to work there, much less forcing Walmart to employ them. It sure seems like an obscenely simple matter to me. Either quit or fire them, respectively.
IT IS probably just as well the 3 Useful Idiots refused to bake the cop’s Retirement Cake. I hate to say this; but if they made the cake; with they’re attitude; God only knows what special gross ingredients they might have put into the cake. THAT happens a lot more than you’d want to know about.
That’s a good point. Knowing some of the horror stories i have heard some state, about made to order food from people that may hate you, i would rather buy PREMADE stuff, or better yet, bake it myself!
And Walmart isn’t terminating those employees because…??? They’ve demonstrated very poor customer service skills and shouldn’t have a job. Walmart, are you going to step up to the plate, huh?
Manager – a person who has control or direction of an institution, business, etc., or of a part, division, or phase of it. Who is running this place? Obviously the inmates are running the asylum. Fire their A**** immediately. Shut down the department. Hire people that want to work !
I know quite a few people who would be happy as heck to have these useless feck’s job…
Uneducated, under- and un-informed Democrat workers listening to leftist media and branding all law enforcement as racist is just as ignorant as white supremacists who brand all blacks as lazy, government drug-taking, criminal dependents on taxpayer money.
WalMart should not only discipline these idiots but also apologize publicly for them.
When WalMart no longer has law enforcement perform regular drive-bys of the WalMart locations, and no longer respond to the calls of the local management of WalMart, and crime goes through the roof, they will see how important law enforcement is to the safety of their workers and customers. The racist bakers will not defend Walmart and its customers from criminals.
Very good point patriot. Over the past 4 or so years, i doubt there has been a single time have been in a walmart that there wasn’t at least ONE COP car in the parking lot, and in some cases on big sale days, 3-4 of them..
I am sure they will rethink their policy if cops started not showing up.
The Wal-Mart bakery worker(s) should have been fired on the spot.
I think that almost everyone on this board would agree with you. However; in todays disgusting Politically Correct Climate; I can almost GUARANTEE the 3 Fired Idiots would turn around and collectively file a Lawsuit; screaming Racism and that they were being discriminated against. I can almost guarantee what color they are. It isn’t Racist. Its Realist.
That is why I will never buy at that filthy store. I have seen people picking their noses and getting the bread with those filthy hands.
I strongly suspect if Walmart Corporate has heard of this or will something will be done to those dummies.
