Black rag dolls intended to be abused were pulled from shelves after they were called racist

Black rag dolls that instruct someone to abuse them were removed from the shelves of multiple One Dollar Zone stores after they drew criticism for being racist.
The "Feel Better Doll" comes with a label that tells people to "slam the doll" against a wall "whenever things don't go well."
New Jersey legislator Angela McKnight said she visited a One Dollar Zone store in Bayonne and found the toy "offensive and disturbing on so many levels."
"It is clearly made in an inappropriate representation of a black person and instructs people to 'slam' and 'whack' her," McKnight said in a Monday statement.
"Racism has no place in the world and I will not tolerate it, especially not in this district. When I saw the doll in person, I cringed and was truly disheartened by the thought of a black child being beaten by another child or an adult for pure pleasure. To have a product depict or teach children that it is OK to hit another child, regardless of race, in order to feel good is sick."
One Dollar Zone President Ricky Shah said the company immediately pulled the dolls from store shelves after customers voiced concerns about them.

Did they leave the white ones there, or did they pull all of them?
Yes it is disturbing that some one saw a marketing opportunity and pay money to have them made.

They did have yellow and green ones though. I imagine they assumed white would get too dirty? :lol:
It's a known fact the Chinese hate blacks, so in truth, this probably never even crossed their minds as being racist, they only saw a marketing opportunity.
Hell, just a few of decades ago, the thought wouldn't have crossed most Americans minds, it's just that the left has made everyone so race sensitive/aware, that everything is found to be offensive. Maybe, maybe not, but you have to admit, it's still funny.
Who would ever think that taking ones aggression's out on a smiley face doll was healthy in the first place? A doll isn't going to fix a mental problem.
