Hell, LONGER than 10 yrs. I remember tearing off the heads of my worrisome cousin's Black Barbie doll [hell, all of her dolls] when I was a kid.

Hey, you funk with my schitt, and Imma funk up yo schitt


Anyway, nice marketing for the AKA's

This is another first for our beloved sorority. Apparently Barbie has never previously associated with a Black organization nor a sorority.

Mattel sought licensing for the doll -- the first in the company's flagship brand based on any sorority and any predominately black organization -- upon learning that Alpha Kappa Alpha is marking its 100th anniversary this year, said Elizabeth Grampp, director of Barbie collector marketing.

I was able to get one.

Yall so cute with that doll stuff. I owned one doll my entire life. It is not to be repeated and I don't care what color she wears. I don't get it with the doll stuff. Sorry.

What about people who chose to have a horse over a doll? Is that racists? I'm just asking. I'd really rather have a horse.

Ok Soror, you lost me with this statement. Anyhoo, I stood in line 2/1/2 hrs to purchase one. I will give it too my daughter when she cross into the P&G land, and she is to pass it on to her sister.

Jackie, so you are going to have the doll as an Heirloom or such....that's cool...understandable...
