It isn’t Wal-Mart that’s “de-valuing” the black dolls—it’s the consumer who doesn’t buy them at the same rate as the white dolls.

Either way they can cry "R A C I S M!!!"...

If they determine their own self worth by the value of a Barbie doll then they will never, ever, get out of their situation.

That would be my first guess too. I heard somewhere that Wal Mart doesn’t like to keep most things on the shelf longer than 2 weeks. If it isn’t moving, it is either reduced or shipped to a store where those items are moving.

Supply — Demand

A little sensitivity would have put them on the Clearance Rack however
