From:
http://www.ohio.com/news/102043983.htmlAt many area Walmarts, the book section is extremely well-organized.
The self-help books are here . . . the religion section is there . . . cooking and diet books farther down . . . and right over here is the black section.
. . .
The ''black section'' contains everything written by and about blacks: romance novels, self-help books, religion, sports, even an autobiography by the current president of the United States.
. . .
At the Walmart in Montrose, Storm Warning, by hugely popular white pastor Billy Graham, can be found in the religion section. But Life Overflowing, by hugely popular black pastor T.D. Jakes, is in the black section, along with Dungy and Obama and Sister Souljah and Adrienne Byrd and all those other people whom Walmart believes are pretty much the same.
Taking a look at Walmart's cop-out response to the columnists observations, they would seem to be inferring that this isn't any different from, say, an African American Studies section at a Borders.
This is simply incredible in this day and age and is an indication of how fast this coutry is moving in reverse.
