What's wrong with the sign?
The store, obviously, was advertising an item that POSSIBLY was very popular among the African-Americans in its area.
They had a similar incident here a few years ago. A local drug store gave discounts on relaxers, skin-lightening products and s-curl products for Black History Month. Why? Because their info showed that the A-A community in which the store was based were active and consistent buyers of these products. So, taa-daa! they have a big sale on a guaranteed seller!!
Now, what's wrong with a sale on products that one's customers buy a lot of. If you ask me, that’s good business. And why not advertise during Black History Month?
If Black people have a problem with the products chosen for the sale, they should take a closer look at the products they flock to the stores and buy in the first place.
