Walmart selling black Barbies for less than white ones?

Walmart is under fire for selling black Barbie dolls at nearly half the price of white ones - in at least one store.

Photos first appeared on a Web site called FunnyJunk.com showing Mattel's Ballerina Barbie - the white doll - with a price tag of almost $6.

These dolls are on the shelf right next to Ballerina Teresa - the black doll - with a reduced price of $3.

The photo was apparently taken at a Louisiana Walmart store.

Is Walmart sending a message?

I read all 171 comments posted by CNN viewers.



Here is one of them:

If the white Barbies were selling for less, would anyone complain?



and another:

I think it says more that we care!

The worst selling ever was the Y-Freda transsexual Barbie that squeaked as you turned the vice… Walmart ended up paying homeless kids to take it away!

Yeah, but it was buried into a rather long thread so I decided to "flash it" again.

You have pretty good memory apc2010, I'm impressed! (didn't know Viagra improves short memory lapses...)

Can't say I am proud about my memory... at this age all seems to be in the back burner of the stove.

No luck with the bike from grumpy?
