Have you heard, the Black Lil Monkey Doll has been changed to Pretty Panda like it's White counterpart

I used to call my kids little monkeys, that's what little kids remind me of. As in monkey bars on the playground.

Thanks for the comment Brother Mozell it did make for a good laugh and the Black version of the doll is less expensive than it's Whiter counter part. Yippy Yeah... we can afford to get all our little Black princesses dolls for Christmas with this messed up economy. ((Lol))

Dora I'm happy that the doll has been changed. It was so very necessary don't you think... ((smiles))

Brother Steve my son likes anything that deals with Nick Jr's Curious George, but I am so conscious of racial stereotypes of us being called apes and monkeys that although I want to say you little monkey in a fun way, I won't. Instead I tell him he's so curious like Curious George. Perhaps this monkey ape stereotype goes back to Darwin when he thought Whites come from Chimps, Blacks come from Apes, and Asians come from Orangatangs (spelling ?). I'm not sure, but it's a common knowledge that to call a Black person a monkey, gorilla, or ape is a big No No.

For example....
..."Darwin's belief that some races (such as blacks) were inferior to others became so widely accepted that, as Haller concluded: 'the subject of race inferiority was beyond critical reach in the late nineteenth century.45 Although Darwin opposed all forms of slavery, he did conclude that one of the strongest evidences for evolution was the existence of living 'primitive races' which he believed were evolutionarily between the 'civilized races of man' and the gorilla:

'At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace, the savage races throughout the world. At the same time, the anthropomorphous apes. . . will no doubt be exterminated. The break between man and his nearest allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilized state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as now between the Negro or Australian and the gorilla. ... It has often been said ... that man can resist with impunity the greatest diversities of climate and other changes; but this is true only of the civilized races. Man in his wild condition seems to be in this respect almost as susceptible as his nearest allies, the anthropoid apes, which have never yet survived long, when removed from their native country." 46...
