THE DIRTY ARMY: Hey Nik, is WalMart racist they have an “Ethnic Hair Care” aisle, and look what they sell!
In my professional opinion I would have to say YES! Next thing you know they are going to segregate the cashier lines.- nik
Will says:
They already do, Nik. We were in a Wal-Mart in Austin, TX when the Mexican cashier told the Mexican customers in Spanish that her lane was open. All the english speaking whiteys stayed in the english speaking line. (All meaning us, considering we were the only english speaking whiteys in there.)
to WillFred Farkel says:
This is ridiculous.
I slather on an ETHNIC PRODUCT called MAGIC… that is used to give black men a smooth looking shave, because some of their faces break out with acne if they use a blade.
Oh yeah.
I slather this stuff all around my crotch to make it, you know, smooth.
to Fred FarkelFred Farkel says:
Oops.
I guess that makes me racist because I be white and I use a product for black men.
to Fred Farkelbc girl says:
hahaha seriously????!!!!! what would you rather them call it the black haircare line???? i am a hairdresser and this post is retarded!!!!!! “ethnic” hair has waaayyy different needs than “white people” hair. not racist at all. people are gettin way to gung ho on all this p.c crap. dude its hair! and wall mart!!!!
to bc girlStoopid says:
So, if an ethnic hair product isle is racist, are the sections in grocery stores that are labled “mexican” also racist? Would it have been better for wal-mart to integrate ethnic hair products in with the rest? I think not! I don’t want to have to look through the Jerry Curl to find conditioner for non-ethnic hair, and I don’t think ethnic people would want to wade through the isles of choices for non-ethnic people to find what ethnic people want . Is the simple fact that wal-mart recognizes the intrensic difference between ethnic and non-ethic hair a problem? I hope not, because if it were then using categories to place people by ethnicity would then be wrong too. A simple acknowledgement of what is true and right in front of your face is never wrong. Is the fact that ethnic hair care products include weaves a problem for this da member? I can’t figure out why he has a problem with a seperate section for hair care. Yes, blacks and whites and blacks and asians and blacks and pacific islanders are different from eachother. Black people have different hair that requires a very different routine in hair care. Why is this so wrong to acknowledge? geeze!
to StoopidCasey says:
Wouldn’t it be racist if they DIDN’T carry anything for “ethnic” people?
to CaseyUSArmyWifeAllOver says:
EXACTLY!!
Ethnic hair is completely different from caucasian hair and needs different products altogether. It’s just like having separate sections in the store for Mexican or Oriental cooking items. It’s convenient for the customer who is looking for a specific class of item.
Et Tu, Nic–racist accusations from a man who uses the term ‘noodle’ frequently?
to USArmyWifeAllOverwidebuffalo says:
Well said. I can only agree.
to widebuffaloAnonymous says:
How f*cking stupid.. so would it be better if there WAS no ethnic haircare aisle and the black girls were forced to use white girl shampoo/styling products? Just think how much of a racial war THAT would kick up! You know a black girl can’t use Herbal Essences gel on her weave….
to Anonymousuhhh says:
Not every black girl wears weave……
to uhhhOden's rotten banana says:
My Christmas shopping just got easier.
to Oden's rotten bananaGoncho says:
My family is the only black family in town. We love that aisle. It is the only aisle in the place that isn’t full of white trash, so we have it all to ourselves, with nobody playing cart bumper cars or trying to snake stuff out of our cart. People are so lazy that they will STEAL from your cart so they don’t have to look for items. Wally world sucks.
to GonchoBlow me says:
White people are lazy and cheap as hell.
to Blow meBoss says:
Black people don’t tip …
to Bosslmfao says:
dying laughing @ Boss…. there are only sterotypes because people keep fitting INTO them!!!
to lmfaoGoncho says:
20% for decent service. 15% for meh service. No tip for horrible service, but I tell the manager in advance that there is no tip and here is why. That’s common sense, especially when people work on tips.
to GonchoIce says:
This is a prime example of what happens when you feed the trolls !!! You get mindless drones making pathetic racist accusations…..
to IceUSArmyWifeAllOver says:
Y’all need to be hangin’ with a better class of folks, sounds like.
to USArmyWifeAllOveruhhh says:
not all white people are lazy and cheap as hell and not all black people “Don’t tip”. Chill with that sh*t. Majority doesn’t mean EVERYONE! ignorant
to uhhhImadethatcerealmybreakfast says:
This is stupid. How is that racist? Black people need different kinds of stuff for their hair so they have a different section. It’s no different than them separating the men’s and women’s deodorants.
to Imadethatcerealmybreakfastchachacha says:
Nik is being sarcastic.
to chachachaWTF says:
Well ethnic hair has a different biological make-up than anglo-hair. Of course it should have a special section! Do you get mad because there’s an Asian and Mexican food aisle? Only some dumb Paris Hilton-esque twit (Do they sell walls at Walmart?) would post this thinking they were funny. Dumb a**
to WTFCracker Killa says:
The dirty is racist!
to Cracker KillaIce says:
Cracker killa…………. Isnt that like the stove calling the kettle black ??????? ponder that for a moment……….
to Ice. says:
Hair is hair. hair care is hair care, yes many different types and textures but still same thing. Did they really have to put it in its own category?
to .Disco Stu says:
Yeh, Walmart racist. Eighty percent of their customers are non whites. It’s so funny when people pull the race card. Why is this racist? Are you ashamed of your ethnic hair? I mean really…..it IS ethnic hair, so why say Walmart is racist when they’re calling it right.
It’s just like Quest Love’s tweet from NBC studios a few weeks ago. A sign in the chow line said something like “In honor of black history month we will serve the following: Fried Chicken, Black Eyed Peas, Cornbread, Soda Drink”. Everyone was all upset about it. But why? It IS what black people eat. Are you ashamed of what you eat? I’m not racist, i just get annoyed when the race card is constantly pulled.
to Disco Stuearl duke (the real earl ) says:
We are upset because it is not all we eat, and to your dumb azz shock some blacks dont even eat fried chicken or chittlis or greens,, thats the part that makes black folks nad.. IDIOT.. and the part that fried chicken and watermelon are put off on black folks and whites eat it too.. Hooters, bar and grills who specialty is wings, (mild hot and spicy).. wgites down south eat as much fried chicken as blacks.. so your nasty azz should not leave them out! its not the food azzhole its the fact that whites eat it too! You plae faces dont like to all be classed as serial cpward killers, school coward shooters and child rapists and black mandingo di-k looking for people .. do you?? so stfu with tHAT CRAP AND GO RESERVE YOUR SEAT AT hOOTERS.. SO YOU CAN LOOK UP THOSE YOUNG WOMENS AZZES AND BOOBS!!
to earl duke (the real earl )USArmyWifeAllOver says:
It’s only racist if you twist it to be. On Cinco de Mayo I am sure they serve tortillas and beans and such. On Chinese New Year I bet its fried rice and eggroll.
to USArmyWifeAllOverBesides, it was a black chef that planned the menu.
I’d go eat it! I love fried chicken and H2Omelon and greens and cornbread. That’s some of the best eatin’ around when done properly. Color doesn’t matter; that’s just good Southern down home cookin style.
outragedfan says:
former hairdresser here. yes, “ethnic hair” is the industry term for black hair. bcgirl is right.
to outragedfankatrina. says:
this is nothing new to people who live in missouri/kansas.
to katrina.our walmarts have had this for years.
Purple PoPo says:
That’s not racist at all Nik. Stop trying to stir up sh%t.
I am not offended nor is any other black.
to Purple PoPoIce says:
Yeah either way Walmart cant win !!! If they didnt have it, they would have some pathetic dumbazz saying they are a racist company so they do it and they still get the same !!! Please tell me that you all arent actually that stupid as to think that Walmart did this just because they thought ” It was the right thing to do”.. They were pressured into doing so, and you can thank Big Brother for having that implemented !!! This is what you get when you have liberal commies running the show !!! Enjoy more P.C…………
to Iceget a clue says:
there are full blown stores for ethnic hair, is that racist agaist whites? theres a whole channel for ethnics, and again thats not racist. but an aisle full of products only for ethnics is since they are completely different from normal hair products that can be used by both races are? get a f*ck clue
to get a clueAnonymous says:
they should seperate all races and [removed] all that arent white.
to Anonymousseamen says:
get over it and stop putting awkward chemicals in your nappy horse hair anyway and stop having babies you cant afford them anway
to seamenfed up says:
it should all be in the same damn isle and be done with it, they will do anything and kiss anyonesass to make the almighty dollar, walmart is the greediest people i have ever in my life met. and of course it almost always a black person hiding behind the puta saying white people are trash!! go figure
to fed upakashic says:
…stereotypes are purposeful exaggerations of reality that make it virtually impossible NOT to “fit into” the stereotype. like me, correcting you, will automatically make me a stereotypical angry black woman.
to akashicearl duke (the real earl ) says:
YOU WHITE FOLKS EAT FRIED CHICKEN TOO, GO BACK TO YOUR HOOTERS AND BAR AND GRILLS AND EAT YOUR SPICY, MILD AND HOT WINGS!! AND WATCH THE HALF NAKED GIRLS AT HOOTERS!!PERVERTS!
to earl duke (the real earl )earl duke (the real earl ) says:
GO TO HOOTERS AND EAT YOUR WINGS AND WATCH THE HALF NAKED GIRLS PARADE AROUND!!
to earl duke (the real earl )sandy shores says:
Go back to your hooters and bar and grills and eat you hot spicy and mild wings and watch all the half dressed girls parade around!
to sandy shoresuhhh says:
I’m black. IT is NO WHERE near racist haha..but i do agree with chicken and watermelon, i hate watermelon
to uhhhteehee says:
RACIST?? REALLY?? HOW?? GET A LIFE PEOPLE!!!!!
to teeheeConfusedWhitey says:
Which ethnicity is Walmart referring to? Ethic is a generic term referring to any number of groups sharing cultural heritage. Could it be Eskimos?
to ConfusedWhiteyVette says:
An ethnic group (or ethnicity) is a group of people whose members identify with each other, through a common heritage, consisting of a common language, a common culture (often including a shared religion) and a tradition of common ancestry.
Racist? I would not say so just because there is an ethnic aisle HOWEVER I do think that it is IMPROPER since White people are a group of people just as Black, Asian, and Hispanic.
Black people…stop feeding into the ignorance. We all know why it was so important, to most, to keep slavery alive. They LOVED our black women and FEARED our black men. History does not lie so say what ever you like!
to VetteVette says:
I am a former employee of Walmart. I stocked the hair care products overnight. When I first started working there the Ethnic aisle bothered me and still does! Not because the products are separated, I appreciate that! But because it is named/called the “Ethnic” aisle. It is unnecessary and improper. BW
