wow. people never cease to amaze. i first read about that doll in a free, off-beat daily newspaper here in my city and i just shook my head. i mean, are people serious? great post though. you’re very good at crediting sources and context too. it would probably do me well to remember that…….

Slightly off topic but..
That doll bore a rather more striking resemblance to the current president of the US. I cannot imagine anyone being more often portrayed as a chimp than him. I still consider that an insult to such an intelligent animal to be associated with dubya…

Here in the U.S. “progressive” white people like to say they don’t see race/color. What this says is that in order for them to accept you as equal or interact with you without open bias, they must first nullify your race and culture – they must basically white you out and imagine that you are race-less and without culture or the experience of people of your race before they can feel any amount of ease around you. How wack is that?

There is nothing wrong with people seeing color. The challenge is to see my color (black) and still treat me as a human being. It shouldn’t be that you need to turn a blind eye to my color and culture in order for you to treat me as an equal or know that I am human with the same basic needs as yours. When someone tell you that they don’t see race, know that they are racist and are not doing what is required to overcome it.

And send them to this Web site and others like it where they can begin their much needed journey: http://worknow.ning.com/
