Walmart Ends Sale of ‘All Lives Matter’ Merchandise Indefinitely Walmart Ends Sale of ‘All Lives Matter’ Merchandise Indefinitely  - Sputnik International, 1920, 11.01.2023InternationalIndiaAfricaMary ManleyA Walmart spokesperson explained the boots were never offered for sale in-store, and were being sold by an “outside third-party seller” online. The item was removed from the Walmart website after it had been flagged by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) who informed the retail giant of the issue on Saturday. A boot being sold on Walmart Marketplace by a company named Harsuny featured the unfortunate letters “KKK” on each boot. It’s unclear why the boots featured those letters, which are infamously associated with the Klu Klux Klan, an American white supremacist and right-wing terrorist hate group that primarily targeted Black Americans following the American Civil War.CAIR posted a screenshot of the since-removed boots to Twitter, thanking the company for dropping the “oddly/poorly named” boots.
