Growing up, I didn't have any Black dolls - don't even know how many, if any, were available.
My daughter has had both Black and White Barbies, and now she's into Bratz, which are like Jessie Jackson's Rainbow Coalition!She has one that shares her name (Jade) and she is White, but she has another Bratz doll as well, which just happens to be Black.
Not having a Black doll didn't affect me, because I had to make do with what I had, and really didn't do the doll thing a lot.
While we're on the topic, remember the episode of "The Hughleys" where Darryl was going into the toy store to buy his son a birthday present and his daughter wanted a doll? She picked out a White doll and he and the store clerk (played by S'more) had issues with the doll. Darryl wanted her to get a Black doll that he picked out but she didn't want it. In the end, she only wanted the White doll because it had more outfits than the Black doll!
