Mattel published a video for their Barbie franchise featuring the cartoon version of the doll having a very difficult discussion about the racist experiences of her black doll friend, Nikki.
The video was posted to the official Barbie YouTube page on Wednesday.
"There is a huge movement going on," Barbie said.
"Millions of people across the world are standing up to fight against racism, and they're doing this because too often and for such a long time, people have been treated unfairly, and in some cases even hurt by others, because of the color of their skin," she explained helpfully.
Barbie encouraged Nikki to explain the racism she faced as a black doll in modern day America.
"Barbie and I had a sticker-selling contest on the beach last month. We split up and went our separate directions to see who could sell the most. While I was on the boardwalk, beach security stopped me three times. The security officer thought I was doing something bad, even though I was doing exactly the same thing that you were doing," Nikki claimed.
"And remember when we were going to join that French honor club at school? Well, I made a perfect score on the entrance test, but when the teacher, who didn't know me at all, gave me my results, he told me I only did well because I got lucky. He said he knew I couldn't speak French that well!" Nikki said.
Barbie expressed shock at the story.
"What? You speak French better than all of us! Why didn't you stay in the club to prove him wrong?" asked Barbie.
"I don't want to constantly prove and reprove myself," said Nikki.
Barbie goes on to give what appears to be a definition of white privilege.
"That means that white people get an advantage that they didn't earn, and black people get a disadvantage that they don't deserve!" said Barbie.
"When we don't say anything, we're just letting it continue!" said Barbie.
In their glowing article about the video, USA Today claimed the video had gone viral without noting that the Barbie YouTube page had nearly 10 million subscribers, while the video had only garnered 247,000 views. Other videos on the page, like the one entitled, "MERMAID SPARKLE SLIME!" garnered more than 625,000 views.
Comments were also turned off for the propaganda video.
The gulf between this kind of propaganda and everyday experience is insurmountable.
Woke Barbie. This is weird. Very weird. I see YouTube turned off the comments on the video. Too bad. they’d be comedy gold.

Then Nikki’s pals attacked Barbie and called her a white ho.
The end.
Comments are automatically turned off on kids videos thanks to previous witchhunts but they could still be messing with the like ratio.
“I don’t want to constantly prove and reprove myself,” said Nikki.“
As a white male with privilege the only time I had to prove and “reprove” myself was every time my boss told me to do something. If I didn’t I wouldn’t have had my job very long.
Does Woke Barbie have blue hair?
“”Millions of people across the world are standing up to fight against racism”
What racism are they talking about? The only racism I’m seeing is them pushing this white privilege crap.
Did they talk about white girl bleed a lot, knockout games and polar bear hunting?
Makes me want to beat them with a tire iron.
“White people get an advantage that they didn’t earn”
Such as? I always ask the communists this but they never answer me, so I hound them relentlessly. Such as what? What advantage do I get?
The commies always run and hide when they post this crap, it’s all hit and run because they know they would be utterly destroyed in a debate.
Like I say to my brother: “If there is some club or card for white dudes, we never got the memo.”
Nobody’s ever said Barbie was smart.
Not the best source as black dolls ( not just Barbie ) don’t sell well at all. Ask any doll collector and they’ll tell you that very few black dolls are even noteworthy of their collection efforts. Almost all black dolls produced eventually aren’t rare.
Any of these "examples" of overt bigotry would be met with immediate retaliation from the left through ostracization, firing, and life long harassment.
parents dont by thier crap let them eat it
You don’t have your white card, white club meetings, white tax deductions, white extra days off at work, white bonus, higher white person dividends, white coupons, white get out of jail card, while gas station pricing ....
You need to check with your local white person community welcome and organizer team. Your missing out. Just the other day, I got to pay 35 percent of my paycheck to the special white persons fund At the government, white person property tax, a 10 percent white person sales tax ,... but the benefits are enormous. I get called privileged, racist, patriachal, and old.
/eyeroll
white privilege.....
