Walmart was set to face a discrimination lawsuit Friday after a woman claimed African American hair products were locked behind glass at a California store.
Famed attorney Gloria Allred held an afternoon news conference Friday.
"It was something I had to stand up for," the mom said. "I would like the glass to go down, and for things to go back to the way it was, where it's not segregated and everything is where everyone can get what they need."

Every time I go to Walmart to purchase shaving heads for my electric razor they are in a locked, glass case. Walmart is discriminating against me because I am male. I’M GOING TO SUE!
Wouldn’t be behind glass if it wasn’t a high theft item.
I know how they feel. They did that with my razor blades
That happens to products that are stolen a lot
Its not about race its anout loss prevention
Their perfume is kept under lock and key as well. Are products for African Americans higher priced than the average hair care product? Or is it just that they tend to grow legs?
The waaaambulance is on its way.
Lot of cosmetics are behind locked glass cases or in those plastic boxes with an alarm that has to be deactivated at checkout.
I don't care how powerful the evidence might have been.
Many Drug stores do the same with baby formula.
People steal it all the time.
In our area, they even do it with deodorants.
I guess the upside is that people really care about their grooming ;-)
Walmart has rolled over on everyone so far. I don’t see why Allred will be an exception. Walmart’s approaching a half trillion dollars in revenue. They didn’t get there by going along with anyone and that includes the unions.
I live in a lily white area. The ethnic hair care products live free.
That's just because cigarettes, beer and tattoos are so overpriced. /S
Higher priced. Way higher.
Of course they will roll over. They will never learn, weakness encourages aggression...and more weakness.
This is the formula Jesse Jackson’s “Rainbow Coalition” followed...nobody wants to be called racist, not a bank, not a corporation, not a cooking show host on TV.
They will pay the Tribute to The Barbary Pirates to avoid being called RACIST...they just want to make it go away, quickly and silently. It is what institutions like that do. If it costs more to combat it openly than it does to pay to make it go away...they pay to make it go away.
They settle almost all the time. Which encourages more of it.
Gloria Allred. ‘Nuff said.
People not only shoplift baby formula, they turn around and sell it cheap on the black market to illegal immigrants. Big problem in the Phoenix area.
Razor blades? Expensive and now a high theft item so......humongous plastic case that the cashier has to open for you. Lame ass Fidiots.
