Shulerking made a video on TikTok and said,
“There’s an over-represented minority in our [Black] community, and now people seek to exploit the over-represented minority. This is not who our sisters are. Statistically, Black women have been the most educated women in the country. Started more businesses than anybody else. But yet, and still, you find the worst of them and decide to exploit that idea, that thought. Somebody needs to get their ass whooped.”
Origin of Walmart Sista Doll
As per the reports, the alleged Walmart Sista Doll originated from a meme page. Even though the wrapping has been done flawlessly making it look authentic, the truth is it is not real. Walmart is not selling such items. The doll would not appear for procurement even on the large retail chain’s official website.
It was revealed by a Facebook user that the origin of the plus-size Black women doll meme is from the page, “Tired Meme Clown X.” Reportedly, the page makes “highly offensive, hate-filled memes.” To various users, the doll appeared hateful, insulting, demeaning, and racist as well.
