The images of hair care products at Walmart are said to show items targeted at African American shoppers locked up behind a glass cabinet, while those more commonly advertised as being for white people's hair are left untouched.
He wrote: "It's more than just the police."
The pictures have sparked fury as many claim it is an example of bias against black people in their day-to-day lives.

One user said: "Damn. All the times I've walked past this at Walmart and never even put two and two together. Holy hell this makes me sad I've never recognized all the little things."
Another added: "The products that are locked and chained up are the ones that are specifically targeted at natural black hair; implication being that the store owners expect black people to steal hair products."
Others shared images including concealer being attached with electronic tags, and a shelf of hair dye where the only one in a theft-prevention case was the one with a black model on the front of the box.

Yep, it is an example of bias...well-deserved bias against those who are more likely to shoplift. Not all bias is inherently wrong, nor is all discrimination. Having “discriminating taste” used to be a mark of sophistication. And if you value your life you had better discriminate between water and poison, between safe and risky behaviors, or between a normal, everyday black American and a potentially dangerous gang banger when walking down the street.
Before the left does anything else, they first redefine language and then use their near monopoly in the media to hammer the new PC definition over and over until the public eventually just accepts it. There is nothing inherently wrong with bias or discrimination. It’s all about the context.
Wow why would they do this, this is a real mystery /s
Exactly: only the high-theft merchandise is locked up. Where I live there are very, very few blacks. Our local Walmart has the black hair-care products on an open shelf. Some of the small electronic goods on the other side of the store, on the other hand, are kept in locked cases.
Shaving stuff for us white boys is locked up too
Are those car light bulbs “black light” bulbs. Just askin’ for a friend...
I’ve been in stores where they locked down baby formula, too. Is that racist, too?
What about pink razors from Gillette marketed to women being more expensive than the identical razors from Gillette that are blue, marketed towards men ... I suppose that’s racist too?
Maybe women need to start rioting for equality, yeah?
Behind glass......the common sense response and result of actual experience of what gets shop lifted and what does not.
Razor blades also used by white guys are also behind glass.
Another race card played.
Because they’re the most shoplifted? Just wondering.
Compare the shoplifting records.
Some of the stores haven’t locked up any of the hair products including products for black people. A store employee told me that all of those should be locked, because local young white drug addicts were stealing them quite a bit (mostly white neighborhood). Besides drug addicts tending to try to be more trendy or bizarre, some of the shoplifters change their appearances often.
Years ago, I was in an inner city store. Target, IIRC. It was in the summer. My girlfriend needed something and that store was the only one in the state apparently that had what she was looking for. We were the only white people in the store and it was fairly busy. Never felt threatened in anyway but I was thinking about my CJ parked out on the street the whole time.
Anyway, it was summer and an afternoon thunderstorm came rolling in. We were up near the registers when there was a clap of thunder and the power went out in the store. Immediately, the metal gates came down over the front doors and the manager and a couple of security guys went to the gate with a couple of bins.
They opened the gate and as everybody exited the store, they searched each and every person and deposited the items in the bins. I was stunned as I watched them pull items from a couple of older women and virtually every young male had something to put in the bins. The way the manager and security reacted, haha, it was like standard operating procedure. Just hand it over and be on your way. Amazing...
I will ask the obvious question. Which items are more often shoplifted?
Yeah??
NAH!!
Oh, I didn’t get it at first. Ha, ha. I was about to answer, “No, most all of the car light bulbs are locked up.”
Do not carry those products in your stores and you don’t have to worry about shoplifters. If they call you racist for not having those items available for sale then you should close down the damn store and let those a**holes shop somewhere else.
Our Wal-Mart had black hair products locked up for a while, with a sign that read, “due to high number of thefts of these products, you must ask for an associate to unlock them”. That was a while back. I don’t think it’s still there. They tried having a register and clerk in the cosmetic department, who would put any product a customer wanted in a lock box and send it up front to the registers to be paid for; that didn’t go over too big, either. In the end, I think they just accept it as a loss, file it as such, and raise the prices on everyone.
This “locked up hair product” story sounds so staged it’s laughable.
