I think that this story illustrates how much we need the government to hire sociologists and psychologists to monitor and approve all business practices...

Re:The Price of a Barbie? 6 Months ago Karma: 7  
I found the article very interesting, but it brought bck memories of one of my first Christmas's in Arkansas. I do not remember having seen a black person at the time, but when I went shopping with mom I spied a black doll. I cried and cried for the doll. She would just say wait til Santa comes.Of course I had to wait but I was very unhappy about it. When I found the black doll in my stocking I was one excited girl.
Whe I was old enough to inquire about the blacks I saw from our parked car, she simply told me God made them just as he made me, and loved them just as he loved me. I trusted her word on everything so I was satisfied, it was later in school I learned we weren't treated alike all the time.
