Raaaaaaaaaaaacist!

Apparently, it is racist to sell Barbie dolls at different prices.

Yes, you heard me right.

Pricing different items at different prices is apparently, something designed by Whitey to Put Down the Black Man.

Here's an expert opinion on the topic:

"The implication of the lowering of the price is that's devaluing the black doll," said Thelma Dye, the executive director of the Northside Center for Child Development, a Harlem, N.Y. organization founded by pioneering psychologists and segregation researchers Kenneth B. Clark and Marnie Phipps Clark.

"While it's clear that's not what was intended, sometimes these things have collateral damage," Dye said.

You get it? It it irrelevant that the intention was simply to move product. The result, in the mind of devotees of the race-baiting Church of Perpetual Grievances was to devalue black dolls (not actually black people).

Here's another expert opinion, a sociology professor.

She feels that Walmart, instead of you know-selling stuff, should be dabbling in psycho-babble shrinky dink sociology crap and stuff...

Walmart should be saying "that it's really important that we as a company don't send a message that we value blackness less than whiteness," said Lisa Wade, an assistant sociology professor at Occidental College in Los Angeles and the founder of the blog Sociological Images.

I thought retail companies were supposed to send a message like this "come buy our stuff".

These people didn't seem too concerned when Burkha Barbie was unveiled (ha ha-get it...unveiled-not).

They didn't lecture the manufacturers about equality and such back then.

I think these people should get a life.

If all you have to worry about in your real life is that different coloured Barbies have different prices, then you really don't have much substance in your life.

Lighten up!

I guess it would be politically incorrect to say something along the lines of 'they lowered the prices so that black people (many of whom live in poverty in the US) can afford to buy them'?? Don't these civil rights people always want entitlements and free stuff? Shouldn't they be HAPPY black barbie is cheap? Geez. It's a DOLL.
