Obama Slams Walmart Black Barbie Scam!
March 14, 2010 by David Everitt-Carlson
President Obama came out today in firm defiance of the Walmart Black Barbie discount scam. “How dare they cut the bitch by 50%”, he said. “She’s plastic, for chrissakes!”. President Obama was pissed.
A Walmart store in Louisiana caused a stir for selling a Black Barbie at half the price of White Barbie last week. The Black Barbie was $3 and the White, $5.93. A spokesperson for Walmart said the dolls weren’t selling well, hence the price cut. “Shit I gotta get on the street and get me a black girl”, said Tiger Woods. Turned out he had been spending way too much money on white schwag.
But sociologists and analysts are taking issue with the retailers sale and say it sends the wrong message about Blackness. “The implication of the lowering of the price is that’s devaluing the Black doll,” Thelma Dye of the Northside Center for Child Development in Harlem told ABC News. Retail analyst Lori Wachs says Walmart needed to look at the bigger picture. “I think there are certain things companies have to be sensitive about and clearly this was one of them,” retail she told ABC.
The Obama administration on Saturday called for a broad overhaul of President George W. Bush’s No Bitch Left Behind law, proposing to reshape divisive provisions that encouraged instructors to teach that white girls are better arm candy, narrowed the sexual curriculum, and labeled one in three American schools as pretty much no fun. It was tough.
By announcing that he would send his sexual blueprint to Congress on Monday, President Obama returned to a campaign promise to repair the sprawling federal law, which affects each of the nation’s nearly 100,000 public schools, and Tiger Woods too. His plan strikes a careful balance, retaining some key features of the Bush-era law, including its requirement for annual body tests, while proposing far-reaching inter-cultural changes. Tiger said it was cool.
