World’s largest retailer Wal-mart has announced they will be replacing all overseas suppliers with U.S. manufacturers employing African Americans working free of charge.

Stockholders sat in stunned silence as Wal-mart CEO H. Lee Scott detailed a plan to “forcibly enlist African Americans to work in manufacturing facilities throughout the U.S. in exchange for housing and food.”

Mr. Scott informed a stockholder who asked what the benefit would be in such a radical shift in sourcing products:

“If our associate companies in China pay Chinese workers 26 cents an hour to make a Regal 34 piece Non-Stick Cookware Set that sells in the U.S. for $28.36, why not have black people work for free manufacturing the product here in the U.S., save the cost of overseas shipping, and while preserving our profit margin sell the Regal Set for less at $24.79?”

Wal-mart has already partnered with the NAACP in an attempt to market their new “Rollblack Pricing” and “Made in America by African Americans” lower pricing strategies.

Lawrence V. Jackson of Wal-mart’s human resources People Division informed confused stockholders:

“The NAACP fit right into our plans, because for years the NAACP has been telling black people that they cannot succeed on their own merits…so we’re simply stepping in and giving black people of America the direction they need in the form of work mandates.”

Government insiders say the Department of Justice and the Labor Department will most likely approve and enforce Wal-mart’s work mandates for blacks, citing past laws relating to black slavery, and as one unnamed official put it, “…laws before the Civil War legalized slavery and they were acceptable then. With slight modifications to the U.S. Constitution and new laws passed, there shouldn’t be a problem.”
