I think we should build a Lego Al Sharpton to look into this.

[ozzymandus]

Jeeze, Louise, lighten up.

[Toliph]

I’m an anti-PC as they come, but that’s really not too cool.

[FourPeas]

I’m in for an Al Sharpton Lego set with his megaphone, seedy Justice Brothers office over a Harlem liquor store, and closet full of skeletons.

You can free the slave. The clip isn’t permanently attached. Just throw the clip overboard.

[Eddie01]

I’m offended she’s offended. She should be forced to shut her yap forever.

[all the best]

So slaves weren’t black. Good. Now we don’t have to hear about the “legacy of slavery”. Now we don’t have to hear about “reparations”.

[Hoffer Rand]

Oh good grief. When did we go from “this toy isn’t appropriate for my child, I will toss it in the trash.” to “this toy is clearly sending a racist political message, I must call the media and raise a huge outcry of its underlying significance to socio-political relationships in the US”? I guess everyone wants to play the victim card, and everyone wants their 15 minutes. If mom hadn’t started hyperventilating, the kid would have never noticed. Just pitch the thing in the trash.

My kids grew up with PLaymobil over Legos. Legos are awesome but the kids built castles, pirate ships, fairy palaces and a Victorian mansion. They are young adults and can’t bear the thought of us donating them, they want to hand them down to their kids.

Or a Playmobil Abraham Lincoln to remove the shackle. :=)

[Blogatron]

She'd better not run into this:

[Clintonfatigued]

The Lego toys are racist! I guess the Lego company needs sensitivity training in order to produce Politically Correct toys.

[Secret Agent Man]

That is just playmobil’s s&m playset.

[Mears]

Then she would be very wise not to purchase it.

It should be left alone for people that want it.

Remember toys from the ‘50s? Actual chemical sets, guns, and things that were choking hazards and would kill us today? Yeah, even though I was born in the 1970s (Cue Bee Gees music), I remember damnit!

[Impala64ssa]

Yo, Ida, ever see one of these? It should really drive you crazy:

A replica of the Saracen Personnel Carrier, during the arartheid days it was the workhorse of the South African Army. These vehicles were deployed during S Africa's involvement in the Namibian War, Soweto Uprising as well as thwarting many other anti-apartheid incidents. Even though the original company, Lesney Products & Co Ltd discontinued it 50 years ago, now that Mattel owns the Matchbox brand maybe some mea culpas on their part is in order.

[BilLies]

Boy she should really go ballistic if she saw some Christian wear a crucifix with Jesus hanging from it.

[P-Marlowe]

They can’t show Roots on TV anymore.

Showing Lavar Burton chained up like a slave is RACIST!

[Yaelle]

Does she want history whitewashed? There were slaves. Isn’t that what black people want to remind whites people about often? Let the kids play with it and free the poor captives. This toy isn’t for toddlers. Save it for kids who are 7 or older so y can give a history lesson with it.

[Conservative4Ever]

Yo Ho, Yo Ho a pirates life for me.
