MOMMY QUOTES: I WANT AN AFRICAN CURLY-HAIRED BARBIE FOR ZAHARA
I want to teach [my kids] about all religions [and culture], and I’m trying to find a way to do that. And when it comes to the subject of adoption, like when my daughter, who’s African, wants her hair to look straight like mummy’s . . . and I look for a Barbie that’s African, and the African Barbie has straight hair! And you know, why has Disney never made a film with an African-American princess? ~Actress Angelina Jolie on not being able to find any African barbies for daughter Zahara (source)
BCK Says: Do you agree with Angelina? Do you find that there are no African curly-haired barbies out there?

Disney’s next animated film will have an African-american princess. Disney is way ahead of Angelina. Hasbro used to sell a Barbie sub-line with three African-american characters, each with different facial features and skin tones. They didn’t sell very well. What has been said above is true – Angelina’s adopted daughter is going to have a hard time dealing with the fact that she doesn’t look like her mother, father or siblings… kind of cruel, when you think about it. Ah, well, Zahara will be wealthy for no other reason than being picked out of a crowd.
