Yeah, it was 2001.
I'da said 'Barbie's going Green and she needs a plow that doesn't use fossil fuels.'
I'd have said, "Barbie's a social worker, and she needed some clients." Bitch probably would have believed it.

Walmart: Black Barbie Sold Cheaper Than White Barbie at Store - ABC News
Walmart is raising eyebrows after cutting the price of a black Barbie doll to nearly half of that of the doll's white counterpart at one store and possibly others.
Pricing like items differently is a part of inventory management in retailing," O'Brien said.
But critics say Walmart should have been more sensitive in its pricing choice.
"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.
"Most white parents wouldn't think to buy a black doll for their child, even if they believe in equality and all those things," she said.

While it is probably a big deal to a young black girl, and the way she looks at herself.I don't see this as a big deal but there is always someone who wants to play the race card when there is no racial problem present.

This is totally scandalous and I am not Letting Walmart get away with this!!
First White people devalued the Black man!!

Now they finally got around to devaluing the Black Doll!!
We need to have a march on Wal-mart!! And not just for their low prices either!!
That is right!! We Black folks have our Crooked EYE on you!!
By the way.... Where is Jesse Jackson to defend the pride of Black Toys every where?
