USA Blacks Protesting Walmart

Walmart ends practice of locking up black hair care products sold at its stores

Walmart says it will no longer store multicultural cosmetic products in security cases inside its stores.

As you know, Walmart (like most drug stores, supermarkets, etc.) has a practice of locking up some products (typically higher priced items) that sadly were stolen in significant numbers. This includes things like pricey make-up marketed to women, razors marketed to men, better booze marketed to adults, ink for printers, cell phones, even baby formula marketed to parents. As thief has increasingly become a problem for stores, we're finding more and more products "locked up."

Well.... at Walmart.... among the many health care and make up products so secured were hair products designed for Blacks. This PROVED Walmart is racist against Blacks. And protests abounded all over the country. Walmart has now apologized for being racist in this regard and has removed the hair care products for Blacks from being locked up. They have not removed any products designed for any other than Blacks, the razors, the make-up, the good booze, the baby formula, the pimple med, all that will remain locked up. I'm sure all other stores in the USA will follow suit lest they too become the target of protest and need to apologize for being racist against Blacks.

Where is the huge protest against discrimination against parents who want to feed their babies, men like me that shave, computer owners with printers, those who prefer better booze than bad booze, women who need a bit a make-up? Where?


Interesting times we live in.

People seem to get offended very easily and if Wal-Mart feels threatened by this economically then they will likely change since it really comes down to money and not that they feel the least bit sorry for anything.
I remember many years ago when I worked retail a group came into the store and stole a bunch of athletic jersey so we had to put colored tags on them that would explode ink all over the item if someone tried to take them off the wrong way

It will be interesting to see if losses because of theft increase and, if they do, what Wally World will do about it.

At the same time it's curious why hair care products for black people need to be locked up - are they more expensive than hair care products for white people? I know black people tend to have hair of a very different consistency but, not being black, have never really looked into what they need to look after their hair.
