I remember, when I was younger, black dolls were very rare. One Christmas, my mama went out of her way to find us black dolls. I think we were about 6 or 7 years old. <BR/><BR/>Well, I loved my doll. I loved both legs, and both arms off of my doll. I loved my doll. I loved the left eye ball out. I loved my doll. I loved all of her hair away. I loved my doll. I took her every where with me, and until there was nothing left but a frame of my doll. I loved my doll.<BR/><BR/>I try to give that same feeling to my daughter and neice. I only buy them African American dolls. This year I bought my neice a white doll, because there were not anymore black dolls. Her mom, said it is okay. I want her to be multicultural. At this point I thought it might actually be, OKAY, because we had already established the core value there before we branched off and added "other" dolls to the mix.<BR/><BR/>I think, I will actually do that test with the girls and see what results I get. I am even going to see how my son responds too. I am going to video tape it, so when they get older, I will have it to show them.<BR/><BR/>Sis. RJQueenSis.
