This is a disgrace I would like to know who is the toy production….what are they’re trying to say that little black babies look like monkeys…It’s sad how people can get away selling degrading toys.

Very poor atempt at insulting African American’s,intelligence!!!…They didn’t mean to offend anyone…are they serious.”BOYCOTTING”,worked in the 60′s Civil Right’s,era and it’ll definally have a impact now…Especially in this post (BUSH-WHACKED)Economy!!!

As Neffe would say, “Are you serious?”

Who the hell created this crap? We need the name of the manufacturer! Stop leaving out important information like that, please, because we should be able to write our letters and spread the word to not buy from them.

LOL@folks being SO mad that they (saw past) the answer to their question! The designer of the toy is called “The Brass Key.” Here is the rest of the pertinent information you might have also missed….

Mary Gustaff, CEO of The Brass Key, said her company did not intend to offend anyone.

“It’s not within our realm of thinking,” she said. “We just don’t think like that.” She apologized that the doll offended ((some)) people.

Her company is a family business in its third generation, Gustaff said.
(That might explain why they couldn’t figure out beFORE hand why this animal is so explosive to the black population…it was before their time?)

The Seattle-based company employs young, diverse people, she said. “We’re good people,” Gustaff said. She called their products, “Sweet, pure items.”

Sweet, pure items–my as…..

Dahhhhmmm! What is UP with all this stupid b.p cuss word censorship around here!?! You can’t have the word a$$ in any shape or form without their deletion machine jumping up on it! Geez! You spell a$$ociation, a$$ume or any other legitimate word and they’re automatically going to take out the daggon “SS!!” What the haylo is up with THAT!?! Grrrrr…..

LOS ANGELES — Costco has pulled a controversial doll from its shelves after customers complained it was racist.

The doll is called ‘Cuddle with Me” manufactured by BrassKey Keepsakes. It’s the headband that is causing the controversy. It reads “Lil’ Monkey.” The doll is also surrounded by stuffed monkeys. The white doll counterpart on store shelves is surrounded by pandas, with a hat that reads ‘Pretty Panda.’

Mary Gustoff, CEO of Brasskey Keepsakes, said the company has apologized for the mistake, and never intended it to be racist.

“It’s so unfortunate because now it’s portrayed as a purposeful act to be disrespectful and that’s not true. We really apologize. We don’t think in that way. We don’t operate in that kind of thinking. We have a really diverse, family operated company that’s been around for 28 years. What would we have to gain for heaven’s sake?”

Costco is also apologizing for the mistake.

Many customers complained the doll was a reference to the term “monkey” which has been used in the past by racists to denegrate African Americans.

WE NEED TO BOYCOTT THIS COMPANY ASAP! THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING!!!!!!

The White version of the doll has panda bear friends and its headband reads Pretty Panda.

That’s exactly what they want, is for us to react in a violent manner.Our salvation will be heaven sent. They know this! they may be ignorant, but they’re not stupid.this is why they piss all over themselves when someone talks about gun control. they’re just a bunch of cowards without their weapons of destruction.

Personally…I think the doll is cute…but as black ppl we do get pissed when compared to any member of the ape/chimp/monkey species…because that is usually what ppl racially compare us too…on another note…i really dont think they intentionally did that…some of us as blacks are super insecure…I had stuffed gorillas and all kinda s**t like that comin up…my nephew got a Go Diego jacket with the gorilla from the show on it…in my subconscious it did cross my mind…but on a lotta lil sht black ppl are too uptight…

Thats just done by some low life, dum ass ignorant possibly not human…. i know better so try i not to get too worked up….:)

THAT WAS BLATANLY DONE ON PURPOSE & IF COSTCO WAS’NT RESPONSIBLE THAN THEY NEED TO FIND OUT WHO MANUFACTURED THIS DUMB AZZ S**T!! HOW COME THE BLK DOLL HAS TO BE “LIL MONKEY” & THE WHITE DOLL “PRETTY PANDA” INSTEAD OF “LIL PANDA” OR BETTER YET LETS SEE WHAT HAPPENS IF WE LABEL A WHITE DOLL IN THE STORE AS “LIL MONKEY” AN SEE WHAT HAPPS!

I am so tired people acting like they don’t know what is racist and what is not racist. I’m sure this company did some research before they started this business to figure out who their target market would be, and how to sell the product to this market. So unless Mary Gustaff, CEO lives under a rock … THIS IS PURE BULL $#!%. ALL of the dolls could have had the SAME hat with “pretty baby” embroidered on it, period.

We spend 1.2 trillion in this god f**king racist country. Black people, it is time for change. S**t like this pisses me off as a black man.
