Black doll or White doll?  email this discussion to a friend?

I have heard that they did a study on black children to see what doll they would perfer, black or white. Most or all the children perfered a white doll! In my opinion that's all the children see on TV, they see the beautiful thin, long blonde, blue eyes white person and hardly any black women on TV so they can look up to.

I've noticed a lot of people discussing white/black or racism but it doesn't really matter what color you are, we are all the same! I love you regardless of what color you are.

What do you think about the black/white doll?

I have to agree with you on the fact that there are not many black women on tv, they are getting better though. When I was younger I lived in an area where my family was 1 of two white familys and I remeber one day I was playing with a friend and she had all white dolls. I asked her why she didn't have any black ones, she then aske me why I didn't have any, I didn't know what to say, but now looking back I don't think there were many black dolls. Now there getting to be more commen. If you look at a barbie commercial you usually see a white doll, same with the bratz commercials. I really think that needs to change, they need to show diffrent races for kids toys.

I agree but it's getting better once people stop looking at color and look at what's inside a person, it shouldn't matter!

That's interesting, justice! I hadn't heard about that. Come to think of it, all of my daughter's dolls are white. I'm going to buy them a black one and see what happens. We have talked about race issues quite a bit lately. I think MLK day brought up a lot of questions in my 7-year old's mind. We talked about how some people are black and some are white, just like some are short and some are tall. People have different color hair and different color eyes, and sometimes different color skin. But we are all people and God made us that way, and we are all the same inside.
