Black Barbie | Official Trailer | Netflix
/ @netflix
Discover the untold story of the first Black Barbie and the pivotal role three trailblazing women at Mattel had in creating a doll who looked like them.
As a 34yo woman who grew up playing with Barbies of all races, I still walk down the Barbie aisle in Walmart just to see all the cool new iterations of Barbie. I pretend that Im looking for a gift for a niece but I have no niece. 😂
im 28 and i had a whole range of diffrent colors barbies, and other dolls like bratz or myscene,
the women in the video surely arent that old right? theyre just trying to rewrite history in order to fit their victim mentality, wich is a shame because in reality they could talk about real issues like how a lot of dark skinned people still have traumas left over from slavery that are just so rooted in their family its hard to get rid of. now that would be a story,, this on the other hand? this is just false information...
@@JustMe-vs1kj Im not sure why you left this response to my comment. It is very bizarre. They said in the trailer that the first black Barbie didnt come out til 1980 and some of the women in the trailer look over 50. Please delete your comment from my comment. I dont want to be associated with you.
@@charmedlilsis1this doll came out in 1967
Why pretend it's for someone that doesn't exist? You don't need to explain yourself to anyone. I'm 51 & still buy myself Buil-a-Bears.
I’m 37. No Shame in your game. I window shop the same 😊 but a couple years ago I started my little collection of Inspirational women Barbies. I used to be shy about my love for Barbie but at my old age I embrace it so much my family has started gifting me Barbies 😅.
This is why growing up I loved bratz cause of the diversity. You had Black, Asian, White, Latino. And they were all equal the main character.
Bratz dolls looked and dressed like ghetto latinas from the 602 with Tammy Faye makeup. As a Latina myself….. EW.
@@purple9533the dolls and offered something Barbie was not, you can try as say ew to other Latinas to be a pick me gringa but that doesn't change the positive and much needed impact they've had on little girls 😂
Yasmin isn't latina. She's actually arab. The live action 2007 movie just made her Mexican randomly. She's actually Arab origin but I get your point.
I loved the Bratz dolls because they actually looked like me and people in my family (albeit exaggerated versions). I had Yasmin. As a kid I loved that they had curves, big eyes and big lips. This is what I saw in a lot of my aunts and this is what I now see in my adult self.
I think that Barbie and Bratz for their initial start had things they both succeeded in and where they had or are continuing to improve in. Like while Bratz started off the gate with diversity (albeit with all the dolls looking the same like their molds, exaggerated and inhuman which is kind of apart of its charm). When it comes to values they are more so fashion teen doll characters having fun. Meanwhile Barbie was very much early on seen more of a "role model" like yes she was into fashion but she was also a career girl: any career she had you name it.
And Barbie did try with diversity with the first black doll coming out in 1967. But there were kind of side kicks not main characters unless you count the black versions of Barbie. Also in the 80s - 00s there were dolls of the world collection. And now we still have cultural dolls being made. A few decades later we have improved on giving diverse Barbies in ethnicity and skin tone equal shine. Heck there's a whole movie about Barbie finding another Barbie except this one is black and lives in Brooklyn, NYC. So she has come a long way.
Bratz has come back and they are very much the same (they questionably gave Kylie Jenner a doll) but they are still fashionistas. But idk who they want to promote to seems their like older fan base that grew up with them, with some of their content online.
I remember when I brought my daughter to the store to buy Barbie sheets for her bed, she chose the ones with a Black Barbie on them. A woman behind me looked in my cart and told me that my kid picked the wrong ones. (We're white) I just told her we'd picked what my kid wants and we walked away. My poor girl was so confused. I'm still mad to this day. (It's been 20 years LOL)
Good on you for letting her pick what she wanted
I think all dolls like all ppl r beautiful
lol you’re an awesome mom! it’s wonderful that she chose what she thought was beautiful with no understanding of race and you allowed that!
Good for your girl! The chance surface color of a person's skin is sure a ridiculous thing to divide us, but our species is so adept at being divisive and clannish! The true measure of a person has nothing to do with color or appearance! Personally I think black girls were actually fortunate there was no black Barbie to compare, twist, and distort their developing identities. As a chubby tomboy preteen, I hated Barbie and what she stood for! LOL
My 106 year old great-grandfather died of 'Covid-19' early on in the Pandemic.
He came back from the War after fighting Russia and got a job at Mattel.
He tried to design a 'black barbie', but was shot down by the racist Jewish executives.
I still value his input on this World. Most people ignored him because they just don't understand.
Hopefully, we can create a better future for everyone!
I stand with Ukraine, etc.
@@Welcometothesunnyside1989 Thank you.
So I learnt from this documentary that the release of Black Barbie didn't satisfy the Black community, because her hair was too short (natural style), and her dress wasn't showy enough (it was elegant, not a ball gown), and it must've been white creators being mean. But then they were told it was actually a Black lady designer who created the look, and the community went "Oh, okay then, never mind" 😅
I’m just a little disappointed that they act like Christie was nothing just because she didn’t go by the “Barbie” name. I literally saw an interview with either the writer or director of this documentary where she said “Christie was like being invited to the table but only offered crumbs” not to mention the Shindana toy company who had their own black Barbie-esque career girl doll “Wanda” who debuted in 1972, 8 years before black Barbie.
*And NIKKI is Barbie friend, she's black!!!*
We are so behind we were so focused on wanting a black version of something white we didn’t even focus on making our own brand dolls.
💯💯💯💯💯
Dude shut up. It's not about wanting what white people have, it's about representation. These women who recount growing up without a choice aren't saying they wouldn't support a black owned doll business or line. This is the reality of our history.
Instead of appreciating how black women can come together and talk about these issues, you'd rather berate them for an entirely different issue. How about your ass gets up and make a doll line for black women?
Oh wait. You won't. Because you don't gaf about this conversation you're just here to cry on the behalf of white people.
Looks like it took white people to give black women a platform to speak on, cause where are the black men who are supposed to be building black America? Oh yeah, they're supporting the system.
Somebody needed to say it 🫡☝🏾💁🏾♀️
Blacks did have their own toy shop...according to the documentary....and it was successful but "THEY" shut them down. Sad really they don't want blacks to be a part of "their world"or have a competitive edge...but they don't want Blacks to have their "own" either....sad and mean. 😡😔
@@incognitoriaanonymousita A toy shop or a Toy brand I haven’t watched it. But I’m not surprised though.
My grandmother collected dolls and she has plenty of black dolls from many decades ago. This notion that there were “No black dolls” is false… there were! …just “No black Barbie’s”.
There were Black dolls but most of them were baby dolls and porcelain. Barbie was one of the first dolls that was portrayed as an older beautiful woman. So of course she was gonna be popular with all the little girls.
Fashion dolls, not baby dolls

I had black dolls when I grew up as well in the late 70’s and 80’s Barbie is a brand there were other black dolls they just weren't as well known as the Barbie branded dolls.
The Barbie cinematic universe has commenced
Not if racist can do something about it...
Well technically it has commenced more than 40 years ago now but its great that it continues 😍😍😍
0:09 not the sad version of Barbie world😂
😂
Who sings it?????
@@RoseGold823 right???
The comments are on? Interesting
The comments are on... But the brains are off...
@@Macburger1900 yeah the brains are off of the people who made this black barbie thing, out of all the terrible things happening in the world rn THIS a DOLL being a different skin colour is what people care bout and put in their hard earned money into THIS. “Oh I fEeL sAd BeCaUsE tHeRe iSn’T bLaCk BaRbIe DoLl” meanwhile lots of people are dying of hunger, lots of animals are being abused and murdered unnecessarily and lots of other bad stuff happening around the world which i will not get into detail cause i would sound out of context. But yes stupid DOLL being a different colour is somehow bothering people tells us most humans are just insanely stupid and disgusting.
I lost it when the epic, slow, sad, cinematic remix of Barbie Girl started playing 😂.
Brooklyn, Nikki and Christie existed
Not to mention Julia, Cara and Devon, which this probably won’t.
Don't forget Grace and the so in style doll line wich included 2 of her friends who were black too Trichelle and Kara, S.I.S who was spposed to be for black little girls, plus there's Tia, Nichelle.......oh there was a Brandy Barble doll too! She was lovely! 😍😍😍
Y'all are missing the point 🤦🏽♀️
@@rahbeeuh what point exactly?
@@IkramJoieetBonheurIkram that this is about Black Barbie™ not Barbie dolls who were Black.
I remember having Black beautiful dolls in the early 1970s which included Black Barbie. I loved it
I can't wait! There were only white Barbies when I was a little girl. It took a little time, but I say bravo to Mattel for their inclusivity! 🎉❤
There were Black Barbies called Christie and Julia back in 1968, Malibu Christie in the 70's, Superstar Christie in the 80s, the Black Barbie line called Shani in the 90s, SIS So In Style line in the 00's... Black Barbie existed way before Asian Barbie. Is Miko/Kira getting her documentary too??
…and scene 🎬 Race baiting much?
I've collected Barbies for many years and black Barbie is one of my favorite top ten. I have many black Barbie dolls, Asian barbie dolls, Hispanic Barbie dolls and ones from around the world. I love Barbie 💗🌺💞💕🌷🏩
Are they pretending that christie didnt exist? Or are they directly talking about having a barbie version that is black? That one came in the 80s and along with her came the latina too, but wsnt as popular as black barbie, so teresa became the oficial latina barbie, but black barbie was oficial throughout the 80s and 90s of course when the line didnt included christie, the 1st black doll from mattel from the 60s, i have many christies and teresas they are gorgeous, sometimes even more than white barbie 😋
Never seen a Latina Barbie 😂😂😂
@@lovelymix8056 yeah i was the same, didnt know they existed, they are quite expensive for that reason. Then they created teresa which was the oficial latina friend of barbie, like christie the oficial black friend, but that was in the 80s/90s now there are more of each.
I got the notification and I thought that this would be a Nicki Minaj documentary
SAME
Good, in their The Toys That Made Us, show they completely skimmed and skipped over the whole history of poc Barbie’s creation.
I want more Barbies with Hispanic color, native color, asian looks, it seems that everything its either white or black.
They make Barbie’s of every race .
Huspanic is not a colour,hispanic people can be any race.
Hispanic can be all colors lol
@@Prettygirlvita Yes.
WTF is "hispanic color". "Hispanic" is a linguistic category.
As a hispanic girl i never had an issue in skin in Barbie. I was aware that colour variety and versions of me where limited editions but the stories i created at play i new represented me and what i wanted. I started playing with my mom's 80s Barbies there was no colour in her collection due to lack of resource and cost. Living in south America at the time my reality exposed me to culture and skin colour variety. Came to Canada when i was 5 my parents never bought me dolls according to colour rather the dolls i got was based on detail, clothing, extra accessories, careers so i could grow my stories and have accessories to make the stories more real. The colour was just luck either the store had it or they didn't. Although now i have black, white barbies. It is not easy to find a latina barbie with a more indigenious look and natural hair colour. It doesn't bother me cause women suffer within the household or job or place of birth in that we are equal. You hear it when you talk to woman of different colours who have led different paths in life. No amount of Barbie variety will change that. That change comes from activisim from home, workplace, everyday life. That is how i have come to think of it
Ha! In Latín América at least in the 80s and 90s owning a Barbie Doll would had been a luxury VERY FEW people could afford…. Whining about “me me me me” on a damn toy is such a 1st world problem….
So glad Netflix made this! I can't wait to watch it! Thank you Netflix!
I designed Barbie to reflect all the little black girls, said the lady with the blond wig.
There are black people that have naturally blonde hair. Google it. Maybe not straight blonde here. But hair straighters exist. Hair color is not exclusive to a race just like eye color isn’t.
Pathetic, right? and she said there was no Barbie who looked like me wearing a blonde wig 😂
Mind you, she was speaking in past tense. Doesn't mean she was wearing a blond wig during the designing process. And EVEN IF SHE WAS, Blond hair is NOT indigenous to white women only.
@TaPharoah black American precisely like to play victims ,it's exhausting, if you are celebrated, celebrate yourself instead of asking others to celebrate you. You are your worst enemy
She can have any wig on that she wants to leave her alone .
How about Irish Barbie, Indian Barbie, Vietnamese Barbie and so on?
Tf I talking about 🤣💀
Literally all of those Barbies exist, in part as a response of the decision to break the mold and create a black Barbie to begin with.
They are already in the market. So your point ?!
Is there an Antarctican barbie?
@@wigglynoodlez kewl
I loved Barbie and ONLY had Black Barbie dolls. Thank God I grew up in the 1990s.
My mother got me a bald Barbie doll(from Black Panther) last Christmas. I recently went through cancer and chemo. Luckily I did not lose all my hair but I did not appreciate that doll. 😬 I thought it was mean and thoughtless.
Lmao 🤣
Since when is a gift meant to empower you mean and thoughtless?
Bald is beautiful too.
Oh wow, I think she was just trying to make you feel not alone
Sorry you took it that way but your mom was really trying to make you feel better. Not only is the doll bald but the Dora Milaje are a group of fierce warrior women, which is what you are. I hope you can see the beauty and meaning in your moms gift. Congratulations on kicking cancers ass ❤
@@MissMawu I wish I could like this comment 1,000 times. She clearly didn't get the intent behind the gift.
This is needed and timely. Me and my cousins used to play with barbie dolls all the time. We just created a music video for my new single featuring a custom Black Barbie Doll made for me by Haus of Swag. Divine Order. Wow. Black Barbie is so significant! Thank you for making this!
Barbie wasn’t supposed to be YOU. She’s a character to play with !
Exactly, as much as inspiring this is I didn’t really care about the color of a doll’s skin when I was a kid 😂
nonsense.
This is amazing💗💗 Brooklyn is my fave Barbie
Thank you for this ❤❤❤ my aunt was the woman that gave me my first Cabbage Patch doll & my first Barbie and they were both black like me❤
*Looks at Godzilla* yep that's me
Yes to Cabbage patch dolls!!! My childhood ❤
@@XaviHaunts lol
I am a mixed race mex and white and I had a black Barbie. That was the only Barbie I played with
I'd Christy, Cara and Curtis...all friends of Barbie, all black. I didn't need my Barbie to be black. Her friend were just as fly as she was. 😄😅😉
When my Mom got me my first doll, it was Kissing Christie, first Black Doll produced by Mattel under the Barbie trademark. Looking back, I was relieved I was sooooo happy! My Black identity was already positively set, thank goodness!!
I grew up in the 70’s and I played with Barbies of both races.. I never really put too much thought into it, there were only the black and white dolls as I recall back then and I think the black dolls were a relatively new thing 🤷🏽♀️
Black people matter as much as any other race, i get that. I’m not racist at all, but sometimes they go overboard. like Disney for example, can we talk about how they changed the little mermaid with a black girl in the live action movie. It was my sister’s favourite princess growing up cause she looked just like her. Like bro just make another original black princess if you don’t think there are enough. Ariel was important too cause a lot of people were also racist towards red heads. They literally thought they were cursed witches that needed to be eliminated lmao💀 not trying to complain here but i mean keeping the red head princess’s are just as important as the black ones.
Why is the film ruined just because a fictional character doesn't look like your sister? And doesn't that just prove the point that, for decades black and brown girls did not have any princesses that looked like them until Mulan and Pocahontas, and somehow they had to manage. By all means, there should be original IPs with black girls as the main cast that appeal to everyone, rather than just race-switching already existing IPs, but given that these are fictional characters in fictional places, it's kind of strange to argue the occasional switching from the original content represents some massive injustice. I mean, we did this with Cinderella in the 90s, and nobody seemingly had that much of a problem.
So your sister didn’t feel represented by Anastasia, Anna, or Merida?

I’m a 51 black women that luv beautiful black dolls.Unfortunately growing up it was uncommon to see a lot of black dolls especially Barbie/Christie. I didn’t find out they even had a black version of some Barbie’s until a few yrs ago when I started collecting and purchased a lot thru EBay and they are my favs. I feel like I was cheated or missed out, I only had white Barbies it woulda been nice to have one that I could’ve related to more soo I’m excited to watch this.
How is that possible? I'm nearly 15 years older than you and I had Black Barbies as a child.
@@MK-hh1vo CAUSE IT IS, I don’t how you can ask or make a dumb remark on what I experienced OK . I grew up in a small Tennessee town they mostly just had white Barbies even the catalogs didn’t picture them,SO kindly mind your business on my experience .
i had black barbies since i was a kid.
0:37 ... her most traumatic life experince was not finding a doll she could relate to.... and the people of gaza think they have it bad!
Right.
Believe it or not , my aunt bought me a black baby doll in the late 60s
they want a black doll, but they dye their hair blonde or red??? And Misty Copeland is hardly black. As is Julliana, she's lighter than I am!
Growing up I always thought the brown hair dolls were the best. I had brown hair and thought “that one looks like me! She’s my favorite”. I loved Barbie’s but I loved bratz diversity more. Yasmin and sasha were my favorite 🥹💖
I have Black barbie and i really love them and as a white person,i truely love this show and i think is about to respect black peoples and also there black barbie who is called "Nikki" and another which is same name as Barbie❤
Imma need that song in my playlist asap ..plus this looks good
Me too!!! I want to know where I can find this new version 😍
Not actually Barbie but I had a black Barbie who was Julia, a nurse, from the TV show by the same name. Diahanna Carroll was the actress. All the black shows on TV were my favorites growing up. Huge crush on John Amos. Representation really is everything!
Is this story about Barbie goes hijacking, armed robberies,smash and grab ?
My daughter has a darling little girl she adopted as a little 2 day old baby. She is very fair with blonde brown curly hair, blue eyes, and pink lips. A little Marilyn Munroe. She loves dolls and plays with them all the time. We are from India. I still remember this. One day, when she was just 5 years old, we went to a toy store and asked her to pick up a doll she liked. She ran to a dark brown doll and picked it up. She is now 11 but still loves dolls and has an assorted collection now.😊
0:16 bleached her skin and she is wearing a blonde wig. 😂😂😂😂 what a hypocrite
Shonda is on a roll❤❤❤❤
What’s the song
I love the original black barbie she was one of my favorite dolls ❤️
I remember playing barbie and thinking its just a fckng toy.
celebrate black women everyday.
My neighbor next door would come over to play Barbies, but I felt bad because I had no black Barbie for her to play with. I told my mother this, and she told me we would get a black Barbie. I remember the look on my friend's face when she saw I had a black Barbie. She didn't always choose the black doll, but having that as an option meant the world to her. I had a Shani and three more Barbies before I "out grew" Barbie.😅
You don't see other races other than and most of the time black people crying about stuff like this
They cry about almost anything now a days. They just like hearing the sound of their own voices. Why do you think most of them are on the phone all the time?
Maybe bc thet dont get represented enough? Oh well I dont expect you to undertsand since you get white representation shoved down your throat on a daily basis
Yea blm wasn't a thing was it🤮😂😂😂😂😂😂
Barbie was based on Western women not on Africans. Barbie was invented in America not Africa. Nevertheless the first black Barbie already came in 1980. So what are you crying about? Again about skin color? It's not important! Stop this race thing.
No excuses. Black people live in America too. If you had done some research, you should know that there were very few and far between black Barbie dolls throughout the years. Arriving in 1980 doesn't mean there were a lot, and they should've arrived sooner. Also, it's very odd how you don't take little black girls' feelings into consideration, and how this affects them psychologically.
@@Falconer22 Do I really have to repeat myself?
Black Americans are NOT from Africa and don't liv einnafrica, the documentary is about the history black barbie line that cje out in 80s. So what are younceying about!!
Did you watch the trailer???? Are you seriously this unintelligent? THE TRIALER IS A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THE HISTORY OF BLACK BARBIE DOLLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT PART OF THAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND???????? ARE YOU THAT DENSE???????
One of the first Barbie’s had black hair.
When I think of Barbie I think of black Barbie’s I had every shade
I can’t wait to watch this film. Fortunately I didn’t feel the way the women in the trailer felt. It will be great to learn the history and women’s point of views on this subject. Maybe because I’m a millennial. I had several Barbies of various backgrounds and didn’t know the difference between the races. None of the actual black Barbies looked anything like myself, but the Hispanic doll named Teresa was. However I never got upset about it.🤷🏽♀️
Someone drop the artist who sings this version 😭 PLEASE
As an Southeast Asian girl, I saw black Barbies long before I ever saw Asian Barbies. And I'm still not even sure if there are any SEA Barbies. It was never really a problem for me. I just wanted to put the dang clothes on the dolls 😅
I didn't see myself in those dolls. I saw them as characters since they all had different names. Barbie, Teresa, Christie, Midge, etc. Even the little girl dolls like Skipper and Kelly.
Are people really crying over NOT relating to a Barbie doll, because of its skin tone? Is this what we are doing? My gosh. Go feed the hungry and clothes those without.
So.....should i ask for Asian barbie now? Because i can feel represented???😂
Sure can but there are Asian barbies soooooooo
Google it!

I love that Stacey Mc-Bridey was included cuz i jjst foud out i had one of her S.I.S dolls right when she retired 😂😂😂❤.
will she be looting stores on black Friday or after a mostly peaceful protest?
I was born in the 90s so I always had black Barbie and it wasn't really an issue even with the kids of my generation like we don't care. We had Mel B doll from Spice Girls too who was so popular in my school.
For me Barbie was blonde and they were her friends. Then Bratz came out and I had Cloé and Sasha.
I remember a friend of my mum who really had difficulties finding asian Barbie cuz her daughter only wanted those because they were from Vietnam. They had to spend more money to get them.
I'm glad to have the testimony of the woman who created the Black Barbie.
I had a black Barbie, They called her Christie. I wonder if that's the same one.
Yes but Christie was not a Barbie she was her friend.
What part of the time line ??? ...I had black dolls including the Christie Barbie doll all through the seventies and the eighties... Black Barbie has a long history with that company ...

Stop trying to slander Barbie’s name.
For pete’s sake, Barbie’s SECOND friend that was ever introduced was Christie, a black girl.
Midge and Christie were Barbie’s only friends until Teresa came out 20 years after Christie.
Media from the west is gonna blow this up as usual LOL
Combining elegance and luxury kislux
Remember Christie, Barbie's black friend. I had one of those in the 70's.
I had the Golden Dream Christie Barbie Doll in 1982??
Me too
right idk what the people in the video are going on about, clearly they were old enough to have experienced diffrent skin toned barbies,
also the pink clothing? she clearly never played with barbies because the original barbie outfit isnt pink, neither are a lot of her other clothes...
sure majority of barbies had a light skintone but to act as if there was no diversity is just trying to manipulate history or something
@JustMe-vs1kj she's talking about "HER" experience, not "YOURS" It all has to do with geo location and all. Some folks in that time just refused to sell certain things and her experience is one of many... you can't tell that lady she about what she hasn't experienced. You're on bs.
I KNOW!!! Barbie enthusiasts know that Christie was Barbie’s SECOND friend to ever be introduced. Midge and Christie were Barbie’s only friends until Teresa came out 20 years later.
The people in this video are delusional and have no real love for Barbie. They’re fake.
The black dolls protesting at 1:35 took me out 😭💀

There actually was black dolls. There weren’t many but to say there wasn’t any is false.
I had a few black, Latina, and even Asian Barbie’s.

I think it would also depend where you lived. For some, they probably didn’t see any black dolls. Especially in the rural south.
The sad part, now a days girls dont play with dolls anymore like back then😔😔
Eh. I think they do. Technology is more prominent these days tho sure but dolls are still a thing for little girls
Mine does. She's 3 and doesn't really care for screen time. She just wants to play with her dolls and doll house.

You got that from the Cleopatra documentary series on Netflix
She lied barbie was made of a white woman
Yall aint the brightest. The point about barbie was that it was for everyone!
@@tegridyfarms6851 back in the days it wasnt
FYI - The first Black Barbie Doll came out in 1980. Which is almost 45 years ago.
The first Black Barbie Doll, "Christie", actually came out in 1968. Which is 56 years ago.
@@Veon_RayThat’s not from the Barbie brand. That’s just a doll.
@@AmandaFromWisconsin Doll collector here! Do some easy research. Christie was Barbie’s officially licensed friend. She was made by Mattel, and yes, she is a Barbie doll. Barbie dolls back in the day actually use to have names instead of just “Barbie” and technically Christie was the first Black “Barbie” doll.
Mattel it a documentary about Barbie
Thank you for the useful fact. Next fact you should research is WHY THIS IS BOTHERING YOU SO MUCH? Every documentary/song/product/brand/store/movie/play was created with YOU in mind. This is the ultimate entitlement that you believe the world revolves around you and created to entertain you. Blessings beloved ❤
I'm 62 yrs old and started collecting black Barbies about 20 yrs ago right now I have about two hundred on display in their original boxes and this is after over the years given a hundred or more away because I just didn't have any where to keep them. I LOVE me some black Barbies ♥
Is she christie dolls??
cool your not racist either next?
I had 2 of those Black Barbie. I got them one year with a fully furnished dream house. What a Christmas that was
Netflix’s version of Barbie:
It’s funny that whenever Netflix releases any project and it’s not about race y’all eat it up, but the comment it’s about race y’all foam at the mouth and behave as if everything they release is about blackness lol it’s very indicative of fragility honestly. you mean this is Netflix’s version of a Black Barbie? 💀
Ummm
You’re not that smart are you?
u ain't wrong, everything Netflix makes a version of has random stuff like this in it for the sole purpose of getting attention
Way to tell everyone how intelligent you aren't 🙄
I’m 61 and there were Black folks available when I was a kid, more white dolls, but Black dolls were in the shelf,,,, so when I see these 30 something’s in this documentary, I’m thinking where did their parents shop?
Right?
Opps.. mother have speaking.. they want some money that why they create this 🤣🤣
I don't get it. As a kid I identified with anybody doing something cool. Young, old, black, white, female, male, fat, skinny - it didn't matter. It was the "cool" I identified with.
KITTY BLACK PERKINS remember her name. She's a legend. In 1980 she designed the first black Barbie which is the one with the afro and red dress.
I know a certain demographic would think this documentary is "wOkE" but these conversations have been had for almost a century. A psychologist in 1947 did a doll test and found overwhelmingly more black kids preferred white dolls because they thought they were more beautiful than black ones. Anyone with half a brain cell would know why thats a problem but in case I need to say it this test was profound because it speaks to the psyche of these children. It will also lead to inferiority complexes, low self-esteem and overall negative self image.
Representation is so important so in 1968 a little toy company Shindana created black dolls for kids to see themselves. They also created Chinese and Native American dolls doen the line. They did what needed to be done and their legacy will be cemented in the toy industry 💯
And keep in mind that “woke” was actually a positive term as it meant you were intelligent and socially conscious so there’s nothing actually wrong w being “woke.” insufferable fragile yt ppl changed the definition of “woke” to give it a negative connotation lmao so it’s funny how it’s now perceived. Thank you for this educated response! You were absolutely right in how a lack of positive representation can create inferiority complex, low self esteem and negative self image and inferiority complex is smthing even i’ve had to battle being caramel-complected WITH positive tv representation and I was born in 97! The media programming that “yt is right” is very strong and pervasive.
@@SupernaturalLove100 oh yeah representation is VERY important I was born in 99 I grew up in the 00s seeing Dijonay, numbuh 5, Cindy, and Leshawna. They were either angry, stoic or boy crazy.🥴
These conservatives co opted the term so now having a black kid in a TV show, a doll with vitiligo or a t shirt with a wheelchair kid on it now it's "wOkE" 🙄
How many white girls today or in many eras think 'exotic' girls or even just girls with a tan are more beautiful?
@lauren6509 if you make something because you want xyz child to enjoy it, great. If you make it for social points, to push an agenda, &/or to make another dollar you are 'woke'. It's no longer about the kids it's about you.
@orphanedhanyou there's a difference between a temporary tan and actual melanin.
What version of the song did they use?
right?
As A black girl who loves dolls, this is a little silly to me. Barbie isn't the end-all-be-all for dolls. Black dolls existed way before Barbie. And the idea that black people can't relate to something that is inherently "white" is silly, also they are hyping up the first black Barbie, but she was literally called "colored" Barbie... To conclude the first black Barbie was nothing special and only represented the style and "dynamite" of black AMERICANS. This is not the big thing Netflix is hyping it up to be. Thanks for coming to my Ted -Talk
Ok bot byeee
I don't think you understood what you watched here. No one stated Barbie was the end-all be all for dolls nor did anyone claim sum'n inherently "🤍" wasn't relatable. They just stated havin' a Black Barbie was relatable. This is about the first time Barbie wasn't just another friend she was Black Barbie. It might not be a big deal to YOU but it meant a lot to plenty of other Black girls.
@@rahbeeuhexcept they did at 0:27 say that? You're arguing for no reason
@@moulisharma7241 only I'm not even arguing 😁. I left my comment and went about my day.
There were some misspoken “facts” in your Ted Talk. The documentary is precise for people like you, the ones so above it all, that deem it silly with half facts. Hopefully
You watch it and learn something. True ignorance is when you believe that a certain person or thing can’t teach you anything.
I owned one Barbie my whole life. It was when I was 7 in the 90s and I’ll always appreciate that my aunt was so intentional that my Barbie was black
Yeah, I had a few in the 90s. I doubt they had much during the 60s
🙄🙄🙄
Oh god, it’s time to move on, you don’t see other races crying over a doll that doesn’t look like them.
This is NOT the first black Barbie! There was Kristy in the 1960s and 1970s and she was very dark skinned! She was part of the regular Barbie doll group back then. Hopefully the media including UA-cam will observe this fact and correct this soon!
Those were barbies friends not barbie
There's nothing to correct Christie was created as Barbies first AA friend
There was also a Julia doll modeled after Barbie.
Exactly I see women in my age group saying this and leaving 😢out facts Christie was a whole line from Glamour girl to working mom.witb a husband and twins I find this preview to be lacking in facts... and for the obtuse folks NO there wasn't a Black 🖤 Barbie perse but Christie was just as good FYI my Birthday my Dad bought me the Heart 💞🩷💕 Family complete w husband and boy and girl twins ✨
nope it doesn't follow the narrative that barbie is racist... This is everything on netflix now full of false narratives. Them and disney went to woke for me. I can deal with it if they don't make up fake information but once they lie it just comes off as pure cringe. if they don't want to explain the real history behind barbie and have woman cry they couldn''t find a black barbie it is pointless to watch.
Woke
You too? Nice the more the merrier 👍
@@Macburger1900passive aggressiveness is lazy say something like "I hope your favorite book gets a bad live action adaptation" or something
@@XaviHaunts "I hope your favorite race gets what it deserve". How is that?
@@XaviHaunts That would be lazier.. At least passive aggressiveness its still aggressive...
