Nappy Bison, that is a great video. I feel you about the Black Barbies.
Last weekend, I was in Toronto for
my godchild's baptism. As you can guess from the picture, she is biracial (mom is Black and dad is White). My friend (the mother) and I had a conversation about this very topic and dolls. It really peeves her when people (mostly in her mom's church) say, "she is so beautiful and look at that LIGHT skin." WTF? She wouldn't be pretty if she were medium or dark skinned like her mother?
In reference to the dolls:
The paternal grandmother of my godchild (who is Scottish) sent her a doll from England. (you can see the feet of the doll in the picture). The doll's name happened to be MULATTO. My friend and I were like, "Oh no she didn't!"
Part of us loved the fact that she did not up and get a White doll, but dude, did she have to get one named Mulatto?
