"I was angry, sad, frustrated, and humiliated all at the same time. It was so emotional it's hard to describe. I know there is a lot of racism out there, but I have never been faced with it up close."

That’s because they “walk off” so readily.
Not racist; reality.

isn’t it cultural mis-appropriation to straighten your hair like a “white person”?

I’s say that they are so valuable that we lock them up to keep the white folk from stealing them.

At the CVS, in my lily white town, they lock up the perfume. It’s a product centered loss prevention policy.

When the natives get restless and crash the store windows,stores selling hair products are hit first. Ain't no thing.

Not locked up in our Walmart here in the South. Must be a huge shoplifting problem in that particular Walmart.

Many CVS pharmacies lock up the Sudafed because it’s used in making meth..is that racist? Gee everything to these people is racist, yet at many colleges blacks want segregation, want their own dorms, etc is that OK
To: kevcol

Try to find a supermarket in Detroit.Can’t lock up the food. The entire store is a loss leader in that environment.

Let’s see... Either Walmart was desperately trying to signal that they are racist... Or, they were forced to take extraordinary measures out of necessity. I think the latter, because well... I have a brain.
