TONIGHT REACTION IS BORING AND
AFTER THE ACLU IS DEMANDING
WALMART STOP LOCKING UP BLACK
HAIR PRODUCTS AT SOME
SACRAMENTO AREA STORES.
MORE THAN 5000 PEOPLE HAVE
VOTED ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE SO
FAR. THREE OUT OF FOUR PEOPLE
WHO VOTE THINK WALMART IS
WITHIN ITS RIGHTS. THE RESTING
IT IS DISCRIMINATION INCLUDING
THIS WOMAN.
WHY IS THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN
PRODUCTS ALWAYS LOCKED UP?
SHE SENT IN THIS VIDEO OF
HER EXPERIENCE AT WALMART.
THE WHITE PRODUCTS ARE OUT
IN THE OPEN AND THE BLACK
PRODUCTS ARE LOCKED UP.
Reporter: DESCRIBING IT AS
DEVASTATING SAYING IT IS SAD
PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE
PAIN IT CAUSES YOU ARE JUDGED.
IT SAYS THAT THEY CONSIDER
US TO BE THIEVES.
Reporter: SHE DID NOT KNOW
HOW TO EXPLAIN IT TO HER
GRANDDAUGHTERS WHEN THE
PRODUCTS WERE LOCKED UP.
THEY WERE RIGHT NEXT TO THE
EXPENSIVE HAIR CARE PRODUCTS
WITH WHITE BOTTLES ON THE
COVER.
OUR PRODUCTS ARE CHEAP AND
IN THE CASE.
Reporter: THESE PRODUCTS ARE
HIGH THEFT ITEMS.
THIS IS ONLY THREE DOLLARS.
WHY?
WE ARE TOLD WHAT TO PUT IN..
Reporter: WALMART TELLS US
WE DO NOT TOLERATE
DISCRIMINATION.
WALMART USES ENHANCED SECURITY
ON SOME PRODUCTS LIKE
ELECTRONICS, AUTOMOTIVE,
COSMETICS AND OTHER PRODUCTS ON
THE STORE BY STORE BASIS.
WE FOUND OTHER ITEMS ALL
LOCKED UP.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO
INCONVENIENCE PEOPLE, DON'T
JUST INCONVENIENCE BLACK
PEOPLE.
THE ACLU SAYS YOU CAN LOCK
UP ALL ITEMS ABOVE A CERTAIN
DOLLAR AMOUNT.
THAT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE.
IT IS SAD BECAUSE I LOVE
WALMART.
I AM A WALMART GIRL TO MY HEART
.
Reporter: THIS IS THE
SUBJECT OF A FEDERAL
DISCRIMINATION LAWSUIT.
WE WILL.STORY TONIGHT AT 10:00.
IN THE MEANTIME, VOTE AND
COMMENT ON THE CBS13 FACEBOOK
PAGE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SAID
VARIOUS ITEMS AT THEIR LOCAL
WALMARTS ARE LOCAL, LOCKED UP.
WHEN IT COMES TO ELECTRONICS,
YOU DON'T HAVE BLACK
