People are Suing Wal-Mart Because Racism

Post by Jered »

Because they lock up "African" hair products."
The customer who has filed a lawsuit against the retailer claims that it is segregating products by the race of the people who use them, CBS Los Angeles reported.
Those determinations are made on a store-by-store basis using data supporting the need for the heightened measures," a Walmart spokesperson said.
Gee. It wouldn't happen that people more commonly steal those products, would it?

As I'm pretty sure some college prof somewhere has pointed out, facts are racist.

No, people are suing Walmart, because theyre a multibillion dollar company, and they're looking for a payday. :ugeek:

Nobody sues poor people.

Quite a few of those "african hair products" are rather pricey. Pricey items get locked up more than cheaper items.
Go to Dillards and take a look. The small expensive items are often in a locked display case. The cheap items are not.

Pricey + easily concealed tends to equal target for thieves. Thus the locked case.

They lock up razor cartridges. Clearly, they hate men.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

I bought some new electronic thermostats at Lowes over the weekend with my wife (WHO IS BLACK!), they were all locked up. I can only assume they locked them up quickly when they saw we were heading in that direction. Clearly I need to contact a lawyer ASAP.

They lock up the circuit breakers (the kind that go in your household breaker box) at the one by me.
