Barbie was a Product model based on the creators own daughter, who happens to be white and being white does not mean you are racist. There was a need for women of all cultural back grounds to have more choice. That is what Barbie was suppose to advocate acceptance for and inspire. The journey is not finished. Also Please give your Doll a Name.
These Marxists believe if you're born white, you're inherently racist. They literally believe (white) babies are racist. They're insane.
@clotshot9459 what has this got to do with anything?????
@clotshot9459 superior ability to develop skin cancer too
@@agoogleuser402 The politicization of everything!
Lol, first blk Barbie doll was in 1968, less than 10 yrs after Barbie first launched, but they get around this by saying, "not just Barbie's friend". This channel is so lame.
Nope. First black Barbie was 1980. Sorry you hate facts.
@@CChrist-mh4mkNope, 1968: Christie. And Julia before that. And Francie' in 1966. Sorry you hate facts.
@@whateverwhatever4026 that’s not Barbie. Sorry you hate facts.
@@CChrist-mh4mk They are, you just hate facts, so you cry your hypocritical catchphrase everywhere you go.
@@CChrist-mh4mk NY history museum: "When was first blk Barbie?" - "Talking Christie - Introduced in 1968, Talking Christie is the first African American doll created for the Barbie line."
You should look things up before running your mouth.
Represent me, kangs ✊🏿🏀
Imagine having a whole channel dedicated to hating black ppl in 2023. Pathetic.
This video is purposefully ignoring the really interesting toy history that is Barbie. You see at first Barbie was only supposed to be the first in a long line of dolls with individual specs and personalities. After Barbie came Ken, then Midge, then Skipper, then Christie, then Brad and so on and so forth. BUT in the late 1970s Mattel realized that children weren’t really differentiating between the characters, if it was a Barbie doll it was just “Barbie” so in 1980, they just scrapped the idea of separate characters and if it was an adult human female, it was just labeled “Barbie”. That’s why the first Black, the first Hispanic, the first Asian and the first disabled “Barbies” all came out in 1980. It’s not because Mattel was ignoring those demographics before then, it’s because they changed the labeling of their dolls.
Why is black barbie so super ultra slim with a giraffe neck? How is that representative at all?
Why not make a new line of dolls for girls that are all black and have a single white token friend?
How is trying to turn Barbie after 20 years into something else the right way to go?
Have you seen African women?
She is an East African Maasai Barbie lol
A white guy trying to tell others what should be done, shocker. I think I’ll just listen to the people who are black that appreciate the change instead. Keep trying to cope, you make us laugh with your meltdowns.

Why LOL? It isn't farfetched!
I can tell you have a stereotype of what a Black woman looks like! You should get out more. (My white neighbor surely isn't representative of what Barbie looks like! 😂)
A childhood friend of mine still have the original when it went on the market the first black Barbie doll still in mint condition unseal in the Box she has two of them and people are offering her big money for them . I'm not talking about the one that came out in 1980 I'm talking about the one came out in 1968 Christine .
Wow, they had a black (Barbie?) doll in 1968?? That's amazing. They had diversity and inclusion even then.
Love this. I also like how it’s just now being reintroduced with the Take Two series.
Thank you to Miss Buelah for working hard to give us black girls a Barbie with different skin tones and hair styles.
My mother rarely bought me white dolls. My first Barbie and every one after was black, even if it took her months to find one. My relatives weren't allowed to give me white dolls either. If one did, she would take it and exchange it for a black one at the store of purchase. To memory, I owned only two white dolls: a Cabbage Patch Kid that I had to have for a ballet recital and Rainbow Bright (my favorite cartoon at the time).
It wasn't until I was a teenager that I understood the why to her insistence. I am grateful to her for that, as it confirmed to me as a child that I could be fun, fiesty, and fashionable and still be black. I didn't need to change what I am to be who I am.
We all need that confirmation in life.
Wow seems like you had a great mom. Well done to her
i hated dolls cuz none of them looked like anything i wanted to be or like any kids in my school of mixed heritages.
That's awesome!
Oh lawddddd yo mama Pookeisha was racist
Ma'am, first of all you're inconsistent. Was it just as easy as an exchange, and all your dolls were Black or did it take months to find because they're that rare? Pssst, we know the answer.
Second, your mom was racist af and instead of letting her kid just have fun and learn that color doesn't matter, she instilled her backwards ideals into you. When the only thing that was needed was telling you that skin colors don't matter. Sad.
So it’s not enough to be included? Cultural Appropriation is the only way to make it fair it seems. LOL oh the irony!
Please shut up. If the tables were turned you’d be having a fit.
Barbie is a toy, not a culture you silly git. She’s not really an astronaut, teacher, scientist or doctor either.
Totally. And it’s so desperate when people appropriate.
@@AngelAngel-so9rz LOL right?! Braids and cornrows were first found on Greek Crete. Just a lot of ignorant liars getting away with it.
Cultural appropriation works only one way to these ppl, like how they say B ppl can't be racist. (These ppl are Karlists.) And they don't even apply cultural appropriation equally for W ppl. The other day I asked why Eminem gets away with appropriating B music and rap, and they all defended him because he shares their social and political beliefs.
Black barbie cost less than white😂
Funny story:
When my daughter was little, instead of switching her Barbies' cloths she would just change their heads. When finished she would line the heads up separate from the bodies. I had been on several military deployments and needles to say... I was scared shitless to go into her room for a long time.
My momma, my aunt and their cousin were Black Barbies! Most beautiful Black ladies in the county. ❤❤❤
1980??? I recall seeing black Barbies in the u.s. in the 70s...yes the Christie and the Julia barbie 1969 based on Diahann Caroll.
They were called Barbie as in the name. That’s the difference here
@@adey126 there was also the coloured Francie Barbie of 1967 which is the first dark-skinned Barbie doll
The point is that every girl doll is Barbie and every boy doll is Ken. To be inclusive that everyone no matter the race disability is a Barbie/Ken.
semantics@@adey126
This is my first time hearing about a black Barbie. And I am 61 years old
lol, be glad u r young enuf to learn. i learn im forgetting a different thing every day.
my sis has a black baby doll she acquired in about 1954. black barbie was not the first black doll. it was 1 of 2 black fashion dolls as this vid states
Barbie is different from a baby doll.
Meh,Sasha From Bratz Is Way More Iconic.
Don't let Ben Shapiro find out. I think he has some of his matches left.
HA!
There is a human tragedy unfolding in Maui but Barbie is much more important
Does the world stop just bc ppl die? Also they have been reporting on Hawaii.
We recorded this documentary in 2018. Nice try though.
Then create your own line of black doll. Nobody said that you can't make a company that sells black dolls. I'm so tired of constant whining and victimhood mentality.
There have been two Black doll lines- That was the point of the movie.
I worked on the second one when I was at Mattel and I’m in the documentary.
FYI - Black barbie was made in 1980
i had no idea that would be a thing ! pretty interesting to know there were other types of barbie! hoping for barbie latina a lot!
Teresa was introduced in the 1980s and is still in the line now- They just made a 35th Anniversary collector doll of her I think!
There are also Latin Kens and Barbies produced in the Fashionistas play line dolls every season.
blackface barbie would've been funnier
Awesome!🤘
Barbie is sold all over the world. No children ever complained. Then came these old black women.
Lol- As if they were ever going to stop making blonde dolls.
Equity does not equal oppression.
I bought my daughter 1 white doll, and after that it was black dolls. And I have a couple of dolls myself.
