SACRAMENTO, CA — Could you imagine unknowingly purchasing your Melanoid child toys that struck an eerie resemblance to Black slaves? Ida Lockett did just that.
The mother of a 5-year-old Melanoid boy was shocked and disgusted by what she saw while assembling his birthday gift, which was purchased from Toys R Us. The contents of the packaging were something she’d never saw before. From first glance, the toy that her son was to receive as a gift appeared to be a pirate ship, inhabited by small figurines that were included with the toy ship. However, one of the figurines in the box has dark skin, and comes with a slave collar. In fact, page 13 of the toy’s instruction manual gives a clear description on how to place the collar on the neck of the dark-skinned figurine.
This is the instruction manual photo which shows how to place the slave collar on the figurine’s neck.
“It’s definitely racist,” the boy’s mother Ida Lockett told CBS Sacramento. “It told my son to put a slave cuff around the black character’s neck, and then to play with the toy.” Upset, Lockett had more to say about the racist overtones of the toy’s features.
“You cannot have this specific accessory and call it anything else. The fact that you can Google it, look it up, say what it is — it’s a slave collar.” The toy not only is dark skinned, but is also wearing torn clothing, as if to imply that it has been a P.O.W (Prisoner Of War) captured in the infamous Slave Trade. The toy is also barefoot, and has dark colored coarse hair, which resembles the locs originally worn by people of African descent. Check out the video below for more on the story.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Please follow the link in the name above to help us educate and empower our youth.
I like that this site is focusing on articles to educate the youth. There’s a lot of older coons out there who wanna pretend that white people wouldn’t bring back slavery and all the horrible treatment that came with it tomorrow if they had the chance. And of course the thing has a huge smile on its face. White supremacists love telling themselves that slaves basically got a free trip on a cruise.
Bro,we are still enslaved. Maybe not by way of the actual white supremacist laws of centuries ago,but by the way of a good majority of us behave because of the fucked up mental residue that is displayed. If anyone wants to check out what i mean when i say we were never freed by that piece of shit “honest abe”, read the 13th amendment very,very,very carefully. Also,just look at the prisons. Research what i am saying,that’s all. Peace.
JB,
Your use of the pejorative “coon” is totally uncalled for and really below the bar for acceptable netiquette. Maybe you’re trying to “own it” or whatever by using terms that have been used to keep your people down, but it’s just a nasty word full of hate, malice, and ill will. Let it die.
And yes *some* white people *might* bring back slavery if given the chance to do so. I do not think that *most* white people would. I promise you this: I will personally take my open hand, cock the wrist, and slap anyone I meet who says they want to bring slavery back. I will continue the slapping until the stupid stops coming out of their mouth. Deal? : )
and this “prisoner of war” is smiling. SMILING!?!?
what you smiling for???
omg blacks are so sensitive. you can kill me but we cant make toys about you. hahaha Obama blah blah
Dude, do you even know any black people? How many people do you know who were killed by black people? I don’t have any friends who were killed by black people. Maybe you need to stop reading Daily Stormer and start being a scientist: Look at the world around you, form a hypothesis, see if the evidence supports it or rejects it. Black people aren’t out to kill you, dude. They just want to make it from one Saturday to the next like all the rest of us. Let people live their dang lives.
The infamous troll Jeremy just can’t keep his nose out of black folk’s business. How about you worry about your own.
WHITE ON WHITE CRIME is at an all time high around 84%. You need to focus your energy on addressing the epidemic of crime amongst your kind and leave black folks alone.
Again, I really hope someone is paying you to troll the way you do because if you are doing this because you have no life then you need some serious help.
What does Obama have to do with this topic?
how about a Neanderthal monkey whyt man toy.
I think they create these toys on purpose to get a rise out of black folks.
They need to know how much power they still have. If a law suit happens and they’re forced to issue an apology or something it means too many blacks have woken up and they need to change tactics. On the other hand, if 2 weeks from now no one’s saying anything then they know they’re secure. They know damn well how that toy would be perceived. No one is that fucking stupid. They only let it out to test the waters.
