Local musician Meade Skelton recently learned about the power of the internet and how quickly negative publicity can spread. Posting comments on Tumblr, an online social media site, Skelton publicly announced his observations about employee attitudes at a Kroger Supermarket in Richmond. He said, "I notice its worse with the middle aged Negroes, than the younger ones. I guess they were taught to hate white people."

Skelton later retracted the comments and posted an apology that got him into deeper water with the local African-American community by stating, "I do apologize to anyone - especially those of the colored race."

Sylvia C. Wood, NAACP First Vice President, Richmond Virginia Branch Unit, stated, "It saddens all of us at NAACP to hear racists comments from a local celebrity. We hope Meade will take the time to educate himself on the issues of racial equality and the advancements we have made in Richmond."

In response to Meade Skelton's rant about African-American employees at a local Kroger supermarket, Regional Manager, Scott O'Connell, informed employees that Meade Skelton will be banned from four local Kroger locations.

O'Connell said, "Kroger is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and strongly condemns any bias based on race, creed, sexual orientation or religion." He continued, "Our employees are proud to work for Kroger and our decision to ban a customer does not come lightly. We stand behind our employees."

O'Connell said a certified letter would be sent to Meade Skelton to inform him of their decision.

I love it!

Doesn't "uppity negro" mean a black man who thinks he's equal to white people? Just the fact that he used those words says a lot about his racial prejudices.

I also didn't realize that "colored" was a race.

So what race is Meade? The "mentally challenged race"?

Meade lives in Richmond, that is punishment enough for anyone.

LOL - She called him a celebrity. If Meade reads this, that's all he'll see and remember.

NAACP is a joke anyway

Wait a sec. A supermarket can actually ban someone from shopping there? Without doing something illegal?

I call bullshit on this one.

Who gave you permission to laugh, or speak? You are meant to be seen, not heard.

I heard Kroger will hire four guards, equipped with high powered binoculars, and position them in front of each store. If Meade Skelton is seen in any of these locations, be it on foot, on bicycle or on motor scooter, the local police will be contacted and Meade's entrance to the facility will be barred.

Meade is a fat Führer

Meade Skelton kind of reminds me of a fat, retarded version of Kenneth on 30 Rock.

I'd love to diaper that guy.

I call bull shit too. The article is well written so I give the author credit for that but here is a Google search of an EXACT string appearing in said article: "Skelton later retracted the comments". The only hit is here.

Fine; lets say this site is indexed at a faster clip than the Richmond Times Dispatch and it simply isn't showing up in search results yet... Well that's not the case either. Here is a search for "Meade Skelton" from http://www2.timesdispatch.com/ which is The Richmond Times-Dispatche's website which turns up 13 results with the most recent being September 6, 2012.

Here is a search into the same site but from Google which (not surpisingly) turned up more results than using RTD's own internal search...but still nothing about this.

Maybe I missed it, but I doubt it.

Woooot!

I know now where i saw meade before!! Holy ccrap. He is the man in the back who carves up the meat!

If only. Being a butcher is a good trade. Meade would be worth something if that was the case.

fixed it for you

That is a much more likely scenerio.

FFXU weighs in on Meade's "uppity" comment.

LOL!

Sorry, here's the link.

LOL one actually said Meade is no role model, really?

They get into debates as to if he is autistic or has Downs. Too funny

FFXU people stop trying to cash in on Meade's Richmond celebrity. You guys keep commenting on the blog to try and claim him. He belongs to Richmond. No matter if he grew up in Loudoun County. Hes from Richmond. Let them have him. People just want to talk about him because he's somewhat well known there. Its sort of ironic all the smack they talk about him here and then when it shows that hes known somewhere, they try and claim him . Whatever.

OMG, he is soooo fucking retarded. He makes fun of hipsters but strives to be a hipster! Hipsters like stupid shit like manual typewriters, dial telephones, Colonel Sanders suits and trendy coffee houses.

Gawd, I just want to punch him in the throat!

The coloreds are jealous of my milky white skin and supple curves.

it was funny at first, but for real now, you are fucking this guy in real life and being dicks with this. he did not write that Kroger thing. you all go too far.

Did anyone get a screen capture when this was on WashingtonPost.com local news?

This was one of the best hoax stunts ever pulled by FFXU. This story was actually picked up by a few minor media sources. LOL!!!!
