We can confidently report that Sephora did not solve racism on Wednesday.

The makeup giant shut down stores across the U.S. for an hour so its 16,000 employees could attend an inclusivity workshop.

The training comes about a month after singer-songwriter SZA tweeted about being racially profiled at a Sephora outlet in Calabasas, California. An employee called security on the R&B artist while she was trying to buy makeup from fellow singer Rhiannas popular brand. Can a bitch cop her fenty in peace er whut? SZA tweeted .

Sephora responded the next day, telling SZA that she is part of the Sephora family, but stopped short of an apology. Later in May, the company announced the store closures, part of its We Belong to Something Beautiful campaign, which it said was in the works long before the incident in Calabasas.

The retail chain also faced accusations of racism in 2017 when a video of black customers accusing a white saleswoman of racial profiling went viral.

But racial profiling isnt simply a Sephora problem; its a dangerous, deeply ingrained and systemic American problem.

In a 2018 HuffPost article titled Shopping While Black , African Americans recounted being followed, being forced to leave and even having the police called on them while shopping at places like CVS, Nordstrom Rack and Hobby Lobby. Rapper Meek Mills said last month that he was turned away from a hotel simply because he is black.

Some 52% of black Americans say theyve been followed more than once while browsing in a store, compared to 15% of white people, according to a HuffPost/YouGov survey.

Sephora wouldnt provide much detail about its one-hour training session. Well be discussing what it means to belong, across many different lenses that include, but are not limited to, gender identity, race and ethnicity, age, abilities, and more, the company said in a statement, adding that the workshop is one of many things it is doing.
