(laughing) I\u2019m probably gonna get in trouble for laughing at this. But I\u2019m sorry, my friends, I simply can\u2019t help it. &#8220;A California woman&#8230;&#8221; By the way, <a href=\"https:\/\/lawandcrime.com\/crazy\/woman-sues-walmart-for-keeping-african-american-beauty-products-segregated-behind-glass\/\">the website here is Law &amp; Crime<\/a>. I think that\u2019s Dan Abrams\u2019 website. Nah, that may be Law&#8230; No. There\u2019s so many Law this, Law that. I think this is Dan Abrams. I don\u2019t know. I\u2019d like to source it as best I can. It\u2019s a legitimate site is the point. &#8220;A California woman says Walmart has been locking up black women\u2019s hair products behind glass while items aimed at other races&#8221; are not locked up behind glass.<\/p>\n<p>Essie Grundy is her name, and she is backed by the famous agitation lawyer Gloria Allred who &#8220;announced her lawsuit on Friday.&#8221; Now, what\u2019s going on here is that in this particular Walmart store, African-American beauty products are stolen. They are shoplifted with a much greater frequency than (ahem) others. So Walmart &#8212; as standard, good business practice would be &#8212; has decided to make it tougher to shoplift these items. So therefore, Walmart is being sued for discrimination because it\u2019s only African-American hair products that are now harder to steal.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, that\u2019s what it boils down to, and I know I\u2019m gonna catch heat for it, but that\u2019s what this is. &#8220;&#8216;I would like the glass to go down, and for things to go back to the way it was, where it\u2019s not segregated and everything is where everyone can get what they need,\u2019 [Essie Grundy] said in a press conference covered by NBC Los Angeles. Grundy, who is African-American, wanted to buy a lotion brand for her children at a location in the city of Perris, she said, but discovered it was set behind glass, as were other beauty products aimed at black women.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-260177 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-002-011118-Walmart.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-002-011118-Walmart.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FB-002-011118-Walmart-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She couldn\u2019t even touch the product until after an employee walked it to the register. Gundy said she returned to the same location later to buy a 48-cent comb, and discovered that that too was set behind glass. Allred said they\u2019re looking for an apology from Walmart, and a court injunction to stop the practice. &#8216;We\u2019re sensitive to this situation and also understand, like other retailers, that some products such as electronics, automotive, cosmetics and other personal care products are subject to additional security,\u2019 a Walmart spokesman said&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;Those determinations are made on a store-by-store basis using data supporting the need for the heightened measures. While we\u2019ve yet to review a complaint, we take this situation seriously and look forward to addressing it with the court.'&#8221; (laughing) So&#8230; (interruption) &#8220;They take it seriously.&#8221; That is the problem. They took it seriously. They\u2019ve taken it too seriously. Walmart should realize that if people want it, they should have it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I&#039;m probably gonna get in trouble for laughing at this.
