Sure, it's a bit overblown to get mad over the dolls. At least the kids got toys but really....how hard was it to buy black dolls? One click on Amazon x 200 quantities. I see both sides
I bet if a dark skinned woman did the same shyt, you would all be burning her to the stake. I don't understand this cherry picking double standard on this site.
I don't live in a "black" area in the least, but even if I couldn't find them in the store, I'd order from their website.
I don't know, this is just something that's important to me. Any future daughters of mine will not be playing with a white doll, and I'll never buy one for my nieces.
If I'm buying a doll with my money, it's gonna reflect what my child looks like... I'm sure any doll this imaginary child of mine will want will have a black equivalent, and that's what she'll be getting
It's not THAT simple sometimes..and if your child has their sights set on a certain doll, you really gonna tell them no, cause YOU don't like what color it is ?
there has been a surge of racially ambiguous dolls out there, like the Monster High ones... that aren't any "color"...you gonna go an pick out the one that looks blackest to you, even if it's one they don't like?

It's far easier to just go to your local Big Box store, and just clear the entire shelves of dolls...than it is to go online, find a doll, pay, wait 3 days to a week for it to get to you, and then inspect if it's what you really purchased.
The real problem is that we value the opinions of armchair militants who dont do anything, over somebody who went and helped their own people.
My kid ain't watching that jort wearing muthafukka LOL
what you gonna do, when your child likes and wants John Cena toys...and you go and buy a Mark Henry action figure?
Your child, may not want to play with dolls that look like her, and leave them shyts in favor of other toys cause you won't buy her the things she wants to play with.
it's not as clear cut as people make it out to be, especially when children's wants/likes come into play.
I've found plenty of black dolls for my nieces at Walmart and Toys-R-Us; I just bought one of my nieces a Princess Tiana, Dr. McStuffins and a couple of Barbies, and I got them all at Walmart.
Breh. Kill that noise. We all buy shyt online. We all make conscious decisions to get what we want. Just as easily as they brought 1000 white dolls, they could've brought 1000 black ones. Just stop. I'd rather be an armchair activist than a self hating apologist. "It's not that big of deal, you nikkas think everything is racist"....

Look how fast that was I could have those shipped to my apartment by Wedsnesday but a rapper's girl couldn't. Call a spade a spade.
