Walmart Refuses to Make “Blue Lives Matter” Cake for Retiring Police Officer, Says It “Racist”
At the end of last week a Walmart in Georgia refused to make a cake for a retiring police officer. The cake was requested to have a thin blue line on it, but three different Walmart employees refused to make the cake calling it racist.

Here’s the original complaint on Facebook by Taylor Wilkes:
#BOYCOTTWALMART: So my buddy’s sister went to Walmart in McDonough, GA to have a cake made for their father’s retirement party. He’s retiring from being a police officer. She asked Walmart to make a “thin blue line” cake to commemorate his extensive and honorable service as a dedicated police officer. Walmart refused to honor her request due to it being “racist.” Three separate people in management denied her request for this reason. To me, this is appalling. There is nothing racist about the symbolism behind the “thin blue line,” yet people CHOOSE to make EVERYTHING about race. I’m so tired of it. It’s literally exhausting for me to think about now. It’s only ignorant people who continue to spread this negativity. People need to educate themselves. Bottom line. I’m just waiting for the day that our American flag is deemed “racist” by ignorant instigators who are just looking for attention and for something to be upset about. It’s really getting ridiculous.
