Walmart holds down the price of products by stopping theft

NY Times:
Walmart’s Locking Up of Certain Beauty Products Is Racial Discrimination, Suit Claims
The practice is not limited to black beauty products.  It is used by retailers on any products that are subject to theft.  My Ace Hardware keeps many specialty tools such as drill bits and router bits behind a wire fence.  It is a practice that makes sense because otherwise, the prices of those products would be much higher if the retailer had to recover the costs of the thefts. 

Hopefully, someday blacks will not blame every inconvenience and set back on their race.  It is really a poor response to a problem that exists because of the acts of others.  They should blame the thieves and not the store.
