Black Barbie is cheaper the White at Wal-Mart why? This is the question needed to be answered soon or people around the world will this of it as Racism wouldn’t they?
Afte overcoming decades of racial discrimination and subordination and yet again Wal-Mart wanted us to think that we are not different than before, when it comes to African American or as a matter of fact any other community then white.
Has something gone wrong with U.S once again that we are reversing our views to racial discrimination, after decade of civil rights movement and sequestration the students of United States of American “Both White and Black” showed that lighter skin tone is no different than darker.
A landmark study in the 40’s era shows black children behaviour more towards the white dolls. According to the stats over 63% black children chose white babies (Dolls), while a recent study after the inaugurations of President Obama, the experiment has been revisited and this time the results are much different. Among the 19 children (Black) surveyed only 32% chose the white Barbie, while 42% preferred the Black Barbie. The experiment was held by NBC Television program “Good Morning America”.
I must say Wal-Mart would have chose to keep Black Barbie and White Babies at equal prices, just to show the moral values of the United States of America, but they didn’t.
So is this Wal-Mart’s effort to show the inequalities among the Black and White that still exists out there somewhere?
