I agree that the dolls are creating negative images of African Americans. Becuase we as African American already have it harder then the next. Why would dolls targeted to young kids bring our image down some more? Dolls especially have major impacts on kids and I think the "ghetto doll" is promoting a negative image of blacks towards kids therefore bring their self-esteem down or feeling that they have to copy the look of the doll or the impression that blacks are inferior to other races.
