Not just one but TWO reviews! Did I mention that I love Racialicious? *points to blogroll links on the right side of the screen here*

Only boo boo they did was use chdenni‘s images with no credit back…

I’m saving my cheers over new, “authentic” black Barbie line [Alternate Perspective] by What Tami Said 091007

Mattel Falls Short With S.I.S (So In Style) Line Black Barbies by Seattle Slim 091007

I wonder if Renee of Womanist Musings will do a review… seriously, she could be saying the absolute worse about collectors and dolls and me but I still think she’s awesome…

this is sooooo rasis i dont c any white dolls

Seriously, you can’t expect to have your comment approved if you leave a name like fkdlfj and can’t even use proper punctuation and correct spelling.

This was left as a comment in the post Sneak Peek – SiS Stylin’ Hair Dolls (090731).

The stupidity of that short comments says all there needs to say, I don’t even need to add anything… I’d just wanted a reason to post a picture of a troll here :)

Although I feel like I need to emphasise a few things. Firstly PoC can NOT be racist, racism is prejudice + power… PoC do not have the power required in the equation of racism although many seem to have no problems waving their unhealthy prejudices around but that is not the current issue. Secondly, white dolls are the most common type of doll released and sold – Barbie Fashionistas anyone? To make such a statement reeks of both extreme ignorance and privilege.
