Walmart has a huge shoplifting problem. Shoppers are walking off with black hair care products without paying for them. One Los Angeles store is combating the theft problem by locking up black hair care products in a glass cabinet.
But one shopper is crying foul. Essie Grundy says she is being discriminated against based on the color of her skin. She retained celebrity attorney Gloria Allred to represent her in a discrimination lawsuit against the retail giant.
The results of a recent study shows women of color have more harmful toxins in their bodies from cosmetics and beauty products than white women.
The Shea Moisture company is apologizing again to their black consumers. The company irked black customers when they aired an ad featuring white women. This isn’t first time the company has been mired in controversy.
Here’s another example of a minority group choosing the wrong battles.
The company that makes Shea Moisture released a slick video ad that points out the disparity between beauty aisles that stock majority white products and “ethnic” aisles that stock products for black hair and skin.
