More whiny black racists with WAY too much time on their hands.
Next.........
“Where is the Asian Barbie? Native American Barbie? Indian Barbie? Transsexual Barbie?”
exactly, LOLOLOLOLOL
Why aren’t the white people bitchin?
Can’t this be considered another hand out for the underprivileged African American community?
half/half!(er....sorry)
These dolls are supposed to be ballerinas.
Wearing a tutu and spandex on stage is one thing. Wearing it to the mall is another!
“Why aren’t the white people bitchin?”
See my post #17.
We’ve got to be fair and balanced.
Would those who are upset prefer that Wal Mart sell them @ the 3/5 ratio that the Constitution used when counting for the Census before slavery was prohibited by the 13rh Amendment?
Maybe raising the price to that amount would stop their whining.
The black Ken skier doll doesn’t sell well either
LYNCH MENTALITY!
They couldn’t sell watermelons by the side of the road if the state police were directing traffic.
Sorry,
;o)
Hmong Barbie.
Its called supply and demand.
Simple solution: Get rid of white Barbies. She’s raciss.
“Other experts agree. Walmart should have decided that “it’s really important that we as a company don’t send a message that we value blackness less than whiteness,” said Lisa Wade, an assistant sociology professor at Occidental College in Los Angeles.”
So, by that logic, increasing the price of the doll above the white doll would honor ‘blackness’?
Good grief. There are plenty of real problems in this world - genuine incidents of racism included - to worry about without some pinheaded ‘expert’ trying to start controversy where none exists.
Raise the price to $10 because they’re special and rare.
Then listen to the complaint that will nullify the original charges.
I can almost hear the protesters chanting:
“Charge us more!”
“Charge us more!”
“Charge us more!”
with signs that read:
“Clearance Sale is just another word for ETHNIC CLEANSING!”
If it will make them happy, I will gladly buy up all of Walmart’s black barbies for $3.00 and sell them to those who were offended for $6.00.
I wish Walmart would grow a pair and tell the whiners to go do anatomically impossible things to themselves.
Imagine the complaining if the black dolls cost twice as much as the white ones. The lawyers would get involved.
Hanging out at Walmart looking for something you find offensive is no way to go through life.
The more they scream ‘racism’, the less meaningful it becomes.
