Brewer made the comments to CNN's Poppy Harlow after she was asked about diversity within the company.
"Just today we met with a supplier, and the entire other side of the table was all Caucasian males," Brewer said during the interview. "That was interesting. I decided not to talk about it directly with [the supplier's] folks in the room because there were actually no females, like, levels down. So I'm going to place a call to him."
Brewer also told Poppy Harlow “my executive team is very diverse, and I make that a priority. I demand it of my team and within the structure.
Many people are now speaking out against Brewer, calling her racist and using the Twitter hashtag "BoycottRacistSamsClub." Sam's Club, which has 650 stores nationwide, is owned by Walmart.
Walmart CEO Doug McMillon could not immediately be reached for comment, but he praised Brewer in a statement.
"For years, we've asked our suppliers to prioritize the talent and diversity of their sales teams calling on our company," McMillon said. "Roz was simply trying to reiterate that we believe diverse and inclusive teams make for a stronger business. That's all there is to it and I support that important ideal."

White lives matter.
Now I no why I was turned down for the job.
Scapgoat. She needs to fall on the sword like man
They ALL want the jobs we have Wether they can do it or not. This is ALL part of the job. SHEN You Open Your Big Mouth You Affect More people like share holders,customers, and your employees. Not just your racist friends and family who are just like you.
Need to get a petition going
Since she dislikes white men so much I will take my money elsewhere. Now if Sam's club does the right thing and fire her I will take my business back.
Been going there for 20 yrs, now i am Done.boycott.
Hater. Racist.
Whenever a white person makes an off the cuff remark about race, he is fired. It is usually caused by social media and regular media blitz about this person being a "Racist", this is what needs to be done. We all need to demand that she be fired on Twitter, Facebook, Ect.
Screw SAMS throwing my card away.
I see a mad rush for memberships at BJ's ;-)
If any other race had made such comments they'd be fired. However, as a businessman, I'd never have kept her this long viewing that she values ethnic balance over ability.
Fire her.. Racist nasty person !!!
I can't stand racist black people. They are worse, more racist than white people because they know they can get away with it. Obama and the Democrats have given blacks the get out of jail free cards because they are black. Now with all the blacks killing white cops and blacks mob attacking and playing knock out games with whites they are not getting in trouble and they know it.
A civil war is looming and it will be whites against blacks and Democrats. Mark my word.
If you all haven't noticed walmart only puts black people in their commercials lately....
as an employer it is hard to find highly educated black men or women. there is not enough to fill the jobs. UMES hands out degrees to some of them yet they do not know how many crabs are in a dozen. It seems like i see a lot of them on the news yelling "black lives matter" , shootings, home invasions, rioting, making babies that the taxpayers get to pick up the tab. I always looked up to Bill Cosby telling his own race to pull up your pants and get it together until I found out he was druging young girls and pulling there pants down. This problem is growing to the point i think this country is going to have a revolution. In case you're wondering I am a black man.
This lady never said she hates whites.She stated that it's not diversity enough nor there were any women in that position also what I read.
