My ancestors weren't slaves either. But, a lot of people do have ancestors that were slaves. And I see nothing wrong with them wanting a doll that depicts that time in their past.

And why indeed do we not make dolls that reference what happened in the Caribbean or Colonial times or the time after slavery when Jim Crow was law? Maybe it is because that isn't what the movie Django was about. So, make some movies that talk about those times, I have no problem with that and market some dolls to reflect that. Or just make the dolls, I really don't care if peopl want them they should have them.

Oh by the way, why do I need a contextual reference to an edit. I used the wrong word and no I am not putting it back.
