Kmart Corporation Corporate Office & Headquarters

Your store is great. I think it was good to drop Paula's products. Paula is one of the reasons this Country is hated all over the world. I should say her hatred of People of Color. Americans forget that whites are not the only people in the world. I'm guessing but I'd say that over half of the world's populations are People of Color. This means that if you hate, despise, and curse some People of Color you hate, despise, and curse all People of Color. This hatred has to stop as an American who is pretending to care about people, Paula can't hide behind; ‘I only hate Black Americans any longer.’

Would like to give praise to the Kmart store #9414. Great customer service. Above and beyond expectation. Special gentleman by the name Jilben, should be given great credit for his job. I would recommend front end management. He has gone out of his way to make sure we are very comfortable, always smiling, kind, courteous, special!!!

Why on earth you would run a series ads that promote "street mentality" is beyond me! We are trying to get our children, our future, out of the streets and what do you do...put a snappy tune to it and throw them back into the streets. Shame on you. Whoever thought this was a good ad campaign needs to find a new career! I will not be shopping at Kmart again.

I am disgusted at the recent commercials for back to school ads. Why are you promoting gang member behavior? This encourages youngsters that it is acceptable. I work in law enforcement and we have enough problems with gang members without targeting an impressionable age group. I will not be shopping at Kmart or Sears in the future.

Totally disappointed in your recent commercials. Will not be shopping at Kmart this year for my rising 2nd grader; instead, we will be spending our money at Office Depot, which obviously has a more intelligent marketing department.

I can't believe your marketing department actually put out not one, but two ghetto commercials......I will NOT be shopping at K-Mart for back to school this year!!!

I find the 'new' ads showing black children prancing around and looking and talking stupid as very offensive. I will e mail everyone I know and I will no longer be a K Mart Customer, until these are removed with apologies to both black and white customers!

What are you thinking? Less than two months after you kick Paula Deen to the curb, you put those offensive ads, featuring children acting like rappers, on the air! Does Kmart think that having rap and Yo Mama jokes is appropriate coming form kids?. If you feel this is a way to get people to shop there, then you are not a company I can do business with and will give a long, hard look at your other holdings. Sorry for using proper sentence structure. I know that may confuse the decision makers at the top. Shame on you!

Wow... shame on you for the insulting impression you are giving our kid and especially teachers. "Yo Mama" is not taught in our schools and is very offensive. Our teachers are trying to do their jobs of teaching our children the proper English to be used. No wonder our younger generation is like it is.....You are helping and also profiling our younger children in the playground scene and the bus scene not much better...You have lost my money and so has Sears since your interact together.....SHAME ON YOU

Your "gansta" talking back-to-school commercials are offensive. And talk about a bad role model for our youngsters. I will not be buying anything from Kmart until you retract and apologize for these commercials and your lack of judgement in putting them on T.V. --Holly Moen

You need to pull your commercial of elementary kids rapping and looking like thugs. It is the most inappropriate commercial. Why would you want to send a message out like that.

There are no words to express how truly disappointing, distasteful, and offensive I find your latest back-to-school ad. Why is it that anytime you feature black men, women, and children in your ads, they have to be rapping, dancing, and spinning on their heads?!?!? Whomever is in charge of your media department, should be fired, not now, but RIGHT NOW!

This is a disgusting. I will no longer shop at Kmart. The image you are giving kids tells them it's ok to "belong" to a gang type group. No manners & it's ok to be disrespectful.

Thank you KMart for deciding for me to NEVER shop in your stores again...your commercials are completely racist and thuggish to white people

I think it's shameful that in this day and age that major coporations including yours feel the need to use the perception of being a rap artist or telliing your momma jokes is the only way to communicate to the minorities in America. This was done in poor taste and I'm totally disguested. Shame on YOU!!!

Please. I find your commercial ad with the children "rapping" very insulting and demeaning. Not Cute at all. I feel that it insults their inelegance and makes them sound like they are from the "streets" and of gangs. I find that it turns me away from shopping at K-Mart all together. Thank you

If your going to put something on sale you should have the item.

I just wanted to let you know that many black people are highly offended by your new school commercials portraying black kids like the only thing they know is rapping and how to cut each other down. Most people I talk to say they change the channel when the commercials come on due to their highly offensive nature. If only people understood that generalizations do exist in this world and the media is the key when setting in the realization of stereotypes and generalization we may be able to move in a better direction.

I feel like your ad just adds to the fact that we are not teaching our children how to talk any more. It sounds like a gang of thugs talking instead of young children who I thought our schools were teaching how to use the english language and how to be repectful. Not by your ads thats for sure. I will not be shopping at K-mart if this how you are going to be running your ads. Lets do something for our kids instead of making them sound like thugs.

Thank you Kmart I can now add your store to the DO NOT SHOP list. Your commercials with the kids rapping on the play ground and bus just show your ignorance and the rest of us the next generation will be generation stupid. This is know way to get a parent to spend their hard earned dollars at your stores. Really this is what you want to promote, uneducated rapping for going back to school. Good luck!
