Is this racism?

Not racism at all.. Barnes & Noble optimizes for sales. You guys don’t spend money at Barnes & Noble and the ones that do aren’t buying Teal Housewives of Atlanta magazines

Where’s the magazines exclusive to white women? Only black women get their own special magazine? You’re right, this is racist, but not like you think it is 😂

Top shelf two Latinos and a black lady.. am I missing something…

A bookstore caters to people who can read, what a surprise

Ok 1 magazines actually pay for placement at hight in areas so if your magazines are on the bottom shelves they lhavent paid for prime placement 2 are you really claiming because black people are not making magazine's for their people its racism? 3 who the hell reads magazines nowadays to even care.. 4 i didnt see any white mens magazines anywhere on that shelf..

I saw black representation on every shelf. You are 14% of the population. How much do you expect?

Wait; so the health, mindset and money magazines don't help us?

They always put merchandise at eye level that sells the most. This is not racism. It’s reality.

What she doesn’t understand is that it’s the books and their publishers that determine shelf positions based on how much they pay the store to carry them.

I’m surprised they haven’t all been stolen yet.

maybe take another look at that top shelf 😭😭

When you’ve been given favored treatment so long that fair treatment feels unfair. Those books don’t sell than many so they’re on the bottom. That genre only caters to black women, 6.5% of the population

they always looking for something to complain about

She’s 100%. This has absolutely nothing to do with the MILLIONS of dollars that companies pay for strategic marketing research. There is absolutely zero consideration for the companies profits and sales for this. This is 100% pure white collar racism. 🤡 I was raised to never be racist, and always respect everyone no matter the color of their skin, or any disabilities or anything, but shit like this is making it really hard to continue to remember that.

How dare the store put the magazines that are the most popular at a lace easy to see. It's like the want to sell things. The racism is out of control

You did not stop and view the covers. Because 90% were people of color. How many were white? Or do you not consider light skinned black people black? You love to be victims.

Actually, it is racist to publish a magazine based on skin color. It is 2025 why are we still segregating? That is not what MLK wanted.

You’re 13% of the population. And most are broke and don’t buy magazines since EBT doesn’t cover them. What the fuck do you want?

Or maybe, Barnes and Noble is a business and they base their product placement on what sales the most.

It represents about 13% of the shelf space, seems legit to me.

It’s based on sales 😂

Where's "straight white male quarterly" on that rack?

How many of those magazines are specifically white themed? Zero. That’s the answer.

Dirt always settles to the bottom.

It’s not racism if we really just don’t give a shit about or even think about AA’s.

Can you imagine a magazine targeted exclusively for white women? I’m fairly certain they place the low-selling products at the bottom… but go ahead, keep clinging to that victim mindset.🤦🏻‍♀️
