  1. I definitely bought a black family for the doll house. Kind of hard to find black Elmo and black hotwheel tracks tho.

    1. @Eric Wood if you approve of this I would put you on a scale from 1-10, one being the least and 10 being the most, this rates as a 10. So you tell me how racist you are?

  2. “First of all, let me explain it.” This made me laugh and reminded me of my daughter too. She also likes to explain what she knows to me and I love it. There’s a long way to go, but I’m so happy young girls have a voice and get a chance to use it more now than ever. I encourage my daughter all the time to express herself. She was pushed a bit by the women in her family to embrace Doc McStuffins, which was great. Many of them are in the medical field and liked showing that to her. Now that she’s a little older, she’s moved on a bit so I introduced her to a new hero for her to admire. I figured a doctor is great, but being the absolute, hands down, smartest person in the universe with more potential and a brain to outwit anyone and conquer any challenge is even better. She’s now a huge Moon Girl fan and I couldn’t be happier. The pandemic thwarted her plans for dressing up as Moon Girl for Halloween in 2020, but I promised she can get a Moon Girl costume for 2021. She’s also insisted her older brother get a red T. Rex costume so he can be her sidekick.

  3. I’m just an old white lady, originally from Detroit, then L.A. and I really enjoyed this. I live now in a small town in the south. The white folks seem so nice, but, It’s so obvious that they are prejudiced even though they claim not to be. I’ve concluded they just really don’t know that they are. Sad.

    1. @Gabo0n VIP3R the only community she has ever lived in or ever will live in is white she is a hypocrite sjw.

  4. That’s good for you but in my house it was a mighty white beautiful Christmas because snow is white. My black friend is so dark when he got out the car the check oil light came on!!!

  5. Wow…almost 4 million “subscribers” and yet…after 2 hours…only 29 comments…and 579 views. Very curious.

    1. Wife abuser and a person with communist Chinese financial ties? I think we all I did yesterday home.

    2. Project veritas releasing leaked cnn tapes of their top global corporation executives manipulating our news for the past 4 years of lies like https://youtu.be/3vbpmoouiT8 every day at 7pm, stay tuned! https://youtu.be/oBZ1AZd4dVA you can’t deny there’s a clear agenda being pushed, it isn’t called fake news for nothing noting how the media is portraying our future not the same future the Bible warns us about the apocalypse which btw the media will never show us what’s really going on in the world economic forum and the plan to insert us the chip by force, the masks weren’t required not too long ago, now their required by our top institutions that own everything in the same format of the Illuminati sign on our dollar, 15 days to slow the so called covid spread turned to months, the vaccine now is by choice, then will be by force, if anyone can prove me wrong please do so, btw the media is going along with the dems making the election seem completely over without respecting the opposition investigations even though the constitutional processes haven’t ended still on is Jan 6 big day to prove election fraud https://hereistheevidence.com/ does it sum up to change the election? Of course it did https://youtu.be/eGplCnQzzQs they have to choose the right results by the right electors with or without the illegal ballots that confirmed what Biden said about having built “the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics with Obama” so they know Trump will win, they just use their same owners narrative for our news to make seem the election was stolen, just a heads up

    3. Dr Phil:
      A: Do you torture small animals?
      B: Do you go into the store and steal groceries?
      C: Are you taking medication?

  6. Dr Phil:

  7. there is also discrimnation on asians, no matter how much effort they put into the society, intelligent, they are always considered poor and putdown. majority of asians are very kind and helping contrary to the conventional belief.

  8. Can you imagine the reaction if white America had only black/brown dolls and superheroes to choose from? Crazy world🌝🌚
