If you search “blackamoor brooch images” you will see that there is quite a variety available.

Some are quite elegant, and some are cartoonish ethnic stereotypes. I wish I knew what the “offending” brooch looked like.

I am willing to bet it was one of the elegant ones, and was worn in innocence.

But then...I am a First Nations Canadian Indian am not offended by the “Redskins” logo.

Aha...just saw the “royal” brooch.

NOT offensive, IMNSHO.

Apparently, at one time she told a group of black Americans to “Go back to the colonies!”

The wonderful thing about political correctness is that anyone can be condemned at any time for anything. It’s like living in North Korea.

In my kitchen, I have a collection of several glass figurines. They are of human shape and are also functional. I have a cookie jar, salt and pepper shakers, sugar bowl, butter dish, and several others.

They have the likeness of fat negro ladies dressed in old timey red and white dresses and scarves on their heads. Some of them are green and white.

I call it my plantation and the fine ladies I call my "mammies." In the midst of my plantation, I have a framed picture of a drawing of a little negro boy in overalls with no shoes, running. The caption reads, "I'se a comin' mammy.I'se a comin"

Is that racist?
