I don't think that a boycott is necessary. I am beginning to collect things like this. So far, I have a mammy salt and pepper shaker set, and a mammy toothpick holder. The reason that I am collecting these types of items is because it is a part of history. I am afraid that things like this will be written out of history and forgotten. I don't look at these items and see them promoting racial hatred. I look at them as historical and educational. I want to make sure that my children see they types of images that used to portray us. What's tripped out is, I have bought all of my mammy items in Florida. I've never seen it anywhere else. I've always wondered where else I could get it. Now I know that I could go on Ebay and find it. What I DID NOT expect was to do a search with the word n***er. I'm not so cool with that. But I am cool with the items being for sale.
BTW, does anyone know anywhere else to find items like these for sale?
