"...dressed in Bvlgari, tryna leave in somebodies Ferrari" --Lil Kim, The JumpOff
okay okay, maybe a tad inappropriate, I apologize...

Anywho, I am in total supprt of this. I dont agree that the Barbie should have braids or Afro Puffs. However, I do understand that "Historically, the Afrocentric features have not been celebrated...This makes us question the integrity of our beauty standard for ourselves." (Nia Long, Good Hair).

However, I dont think Barbie is where you start, I think its based on a child's home life. If a child is told they are beautiful they will believe it, because what Mommy and Daddy says is GOLDEN, especially at that age (4-9).
