        Razors, jewelry, x box games, perfumes are also locked up. It's not a racial thing, it's called loss prevention. Looking for 15 min of fame. Stay in school kids.

        Yes. Trojan, Vagisil, Clinical Strength Ban & Secret are also behind glass. Let me guess only the white population use these products?

        The most petty of things I’ve seen. People just looking for reasons to sue and get rich. Make everything a race issues they say, it will be easy they say..

        It’s not a petty thing. It’s a racial micro aggression. It’s a message reinforcing the belief that Black people steal and stores are at risk from them. What do you believe that does to the psyche of a person of color?

        It can also be because those products are high theft.

        The only products that get locked up are the ones that usually get stolen a lot. Instead of screaming ‘racist’ at everything, maybe look at it from the stores POV. They lose money on those items. Preventing theft isn’t racist.

        Walmart, and most other stores lock up things that are regularly a target of theft. And honestly, what’s considered “African American” personal care products?

        Replying to @AlaskanPete76 @nytimes

        According to the article, all the products “targeted at African Americans” were locked up. If they had locked up everything that’d be fine. But to have stuff only targeted at blacks behind glass by order of Corporate? That’s when it becomes racist.

        I’m shocked at the level of virulence people are spewing at her. She’s not asking for millions of dollars, only $4k + to be heard. Nowhere did the article provide loss rates or prove those items are stolen more often. Requiring escort to register to buy $0.48 comb? Humiliating.

        What you stated is what people do not get ... it would be interesting to see the loss analysis and where these locked items fit in the spectrum of 'high' dollar loss - cease giving your money to institutions that disregard and disrespect you

        My thoughts exactly. It’s hard to believe that it is in anyone’s interest to lock up these relatively low-cost items. Time = money and this is a waste of staff and consumers’ time. Sounds like racial profiling based on prejudicial, location-based corporate management policy.

        And men's cologne is locked up too. Should I go after Wal-Mart for discriminating against men?
