How about this: A Black Barbie with an Asian (Yellow Sponge Bob with only two teeth on her T-shirt. Also, she has a yellow pet Sponge Bob minature. Now Asians who feel hurt by this evil act, can complain and call the ACLU and the Nation Lawyers Union.

Seriously, this is an official Barbie and Sponge Bob doll that is for sale.

Jemeka Garcia of Flint Township, Mich., was skeptical of a mistake, in part because the cards appear to be well made

____

LMAO--JAMEKA is skeptical that is was just a mistake. That's right Jameka, any little mistake is automatically racism. PATHETIC! I wonder when she'll sue for "damages"?

"I want to know why the person did it," Jemeka Garcia said Thursday. "That's kind of a horrible prank. And what if some kid gets it" as a valentine?"

I can smell the lawsuit from here. LOL, this individual needs to lighten up.

I haven't felt right about this stuff since "The Wiz"! I'll give you "black Barbie", but black Dorthy is just wrong on so many levels.

Cool, I finally have an image to use for Black History Month..

What gets me is the way that the story was written.. Boxes in stores, when they only got one complaint about one box bought from one WalMart.

Ahh, good old Knight Ridder journalism in action yet again.

My nephew, his wife and their two year old are crazy nuts for the show.
I have watched it there and it's funny but the girls are not impressed at all.

Have you been exposed to it??

My niece loves SpongeBob. I got my first introduction when she visited us for the weekend.

I swear unto you, it will be a cold day in hell before I ever willingly watch that show again.
