Walmart will be ending its practice of locking up beauty products for Black people behind glass cases.

The retail giant announced the news this week, amid the uproar of racial inequality.

Criticism for Walmart‘s practice was heightened and most have said that the practice of putting those products behind cases is a form of racial targeting.

Previously, Walmart had stated that certain products were locked up because they were more likely to be stolen.

“As a retailer serving millions of customers every day from diverse backgrounds, Walmart does not tolerate discrimination of any kind,” Lorenzo Lopez, a Walmart spokesman, shared with press in an email. “We’re sensitive to the issue and understand the concerns raised by our customers and members of the community and have made the decision to discontinue placing multicultural hair care and beauty products — a practice in place in about a dozen of our 4,700 stores nationwide — in locked cases.”

The end of the practice follows a lawsuit in which a woman sued Walmart because products were locked behind the case, and pointed out the discrimination practice.

“We’re seeing increased sales in tops, but not bottoms,” Walmart’s executive vice president of corporate affairs Dan Bartlett told Yahoo Finance. “So, people who are concerned, obviously, from the waist up.”

Walmart is apologizing after a third-party vendor used a derogatory term to describe an item on their website.

Comedian Travon Free and New York Times best-selling author Roxane Gay both tweeted about the product and how it is completely unacceptable to use such language.

“We are very sorry and appalled that this third party seller listed their item with this description on our online marketplace,” Walmart released on Twitter. “It is a clear violation of our policy, and has been removed, and we are investigating the seller to determine how this could have happened.”

The language is unacceptable, so we have not attached a photo of the description.
