Race hustlers, hate peddlers and “critics” strike again with their wolf-crying about raaaacism. This time it’s that eeevil Walmart (again) that is raaaacist because one of its stores marked down the black Barbie doll to $3.00 while the white Barbie doll was still being sold at $5.95. See? It’s raaaacist!
ABC claims it found some “critics” that charge Walmart for not being “sensitive” in its pricing strategies. For its part Walmart says that the store in question was trying to thin out inventory for the upcoming Spring restocking.
But… can’t you see that it’s raaaacist, asks ABC and its carefully sought out “critics”? Here is the race hustler and agitation pimp that ABC dredged up to point fingers at that eeeevil raaaacist Walmart...

i agree it is racist....the nerve of them charging more for a white barbie....it should be 3.00 also (sarc)
Pricing is done at WalMart by computer.
Apparently black barbies weren’t selling at this location.
Obviously race activists don’t understand the laws of supply and demand
If they mark Black Barbie down, they are devaluing her; if the mark her up, they are gouging the minorities likely to purchase her. If they don't carry her at all, they are catering to white privilege. You're right--all choices are racist!
How much for a Baby Daddy Hood Rat Barbie?
Charge them 10 bucks for the black Barbie.
Cheaper doll to all who want it-racist.
United Negro college available to blacks only fund-wonderful.

LOL
PS, cool screen name.
While my expertise in the world of Barbie is kinda limited to a few prekindergarten moments involving the beheading of my sister’s collection and the fascination of toilet flushing, I’m fairly certain there is no such thing as a black Barbie. Her name was Tiffany, if I recall correctly. Barbie is the white doll’s name, which is also the brand name. No racism here, just marketing.
The black one should have sold for $5.95 and come with a $2.95 instant rebate coupon. :)
Suggested response:
“OK....they’re $8.95 now...”
Great, how much for a Burka Barbie? Papoose Barbie? Why complain about a bargain? Its not racist it is a victim of location, location, location aka demographics.
I wouldn’t buy a black Barbie. Apparently, most people in that area felt the same way.
Get off of freerepublic and get to work!! :-)
