Black Barbie | Official Trailer | Netflix 

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.

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 😅.

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.

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.

Yes,I remember that old video about picking the "pretty" dolls too. It broke my heart. SMH. 😢

Its very heartwarming

What’s a “girl”?

WE ASK FOR EDUCATION, WE FACE JAIL - netflix, 2024

💀

George Floyd ahh all over again

😠

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 hilarious!!!!!!!

I had a few black, Latina, and even Asian Barbie’s.

Yes, Christie 1967 and Julia 1969, plus did any of us look like the usual Barbie? Typical modern garbage.

Not one person in this video said that

@@prettyclassybear7683 0:26

I think it would also depend where you lived. For some, they probably didn’t see any black dolls. Especially in the rural south.

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.

My niece did. I seen her play with them.

Grown women collect🎉

They do, drama queen.

After that Cleopatra stuff

😂😂😂😂😂

It's not

What happened to people with 🏈 now days? Nobody is just saying "Yes, I'm a racist"...

That makes no sense since you guys typically eat up everything Netflix releases. The fragile people who get triggered abt race have clearly arrived!

Right?

Opps.. mother have speaking.. they want some money that why they create this 🤣🤣

💯💯💯💯💯

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.

Is she christie dolls??

cool your not racist either next?

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 ❤

*And NIKKI is Barbie friend, she's black!!!*

Yeah, I had a few in the 90s. I doubt they had much during the 60s

Well done!👏…My dead grandmother told me this was gonna be panned & fail just like that Cleopatra-lie…queens of de-Nile…

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

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

​@@BozeDoesGodsWorkRomans 10:9-11 says, "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved".Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

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.

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.

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 😍😍😍

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.

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.

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.

right?

😂

Who sings it?????

@@RoseGold823 right???

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 🙄

Please tell me where I can find it

@@cutz4 tried searching for it too but i can't find it either

I want to know who sings or mixed this new version of the son 😍

I’m trying to find the song right now

Been looking for 30 minutes myself

“People forget that there was a time when Christie didn’t exist” You do know that Barbie came out in 1959. Four years later Barbie’s first friend Midge came out. Five years later Barbie’s second friend Christie was introduced. Barbie’s only friends were Midge and Christie for 20 YEARS until Teresa came out. Christie came out only 9 years after the original Barbie. Christie is an OG. There was pretty much never a time without her.

You completely missed the entire point I’m trynna make 🤦🏽‍♀️

There is a tell all by Carter Bryant (the original creator of Bratz) about how he was treated by that company MGAE. My sibling did a video in detail about all the drama behind the scenes of Bratz but I hear he is ready to spill some tea.

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.

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.

…and scene 🎬 Race baiting much?

SAME

Totally agree and I couldn't have said it better!!

❤

But it looks ugly

Because you can uplift yourself without trashing others

​@PortugalZeroworldcup how is this trashing white people?

@@QueenofWheels Netflix with Cleopatra and now this boring nonsense If your original, you don't have to worry about copying anyone And don't need to trash anyone

@@QueenofWheels and someone always has an original idea , people will want to take credit It is a selfish world

I hope you know nobody is trashing Barbie herself. Stop trying to slip the narrative in this comment section like they’re trying to get rid of the white dolls. This is a documentary on black Barbie and how she came to be. Not a bash session on all the white dolls. You’re not black and you’re obviously not a little girl. So you have no idea how they may have felt seeing no beautiful pinup doll resembling them. Also the Cleopatra thing is different this is a toy. Grow up and get a grip son.

Her name was Christie not Barbie tho. The first time Barbie (actual Barbie) was Black is what this doc seems to be about

​​@@rahbeeuh Christie was a *Barbie doll* friend just like Midge, PJ, Kira and Teresa. They were all "Barbies". I hate that they took Christie's identity away.

@@MK-hh1vo they weren't Barbie™ . They didn't take Christie's identity away; as she still exists.

@@rahbeeuh All the Barbies have different names! Why is it that victimization is the first stop on y'all pity party train! Here's a thought you wanted a black doll you make one! Rip a page from the book of Mary Jackson, and take a seat at the table if you want a voice!

@@lilliansoto1197 what are you on about? I was simply stating that there's an actual Black Barbie™ separate from Christie. Neither erased the other. You definitely misread or misunderstood my comment. Idk who "y'all" is (I'm myself ain't no "y'all"") nor do I know why you got so defensive or whatever but please chill!

Representation matters. It's hard for some people to see that.

​@@kitchenaidwhiskeyjones I'm all for that don't get me wrong, but...what I've noticed is that no other races were thought of? Like...sure yes - black people. But theyre not the only race living in America. Would it have offended anybody to see the American Indian Barbie Doll maybe? 🤷‍♀️

@@MissPerpul What makes you think there are no other races or ethnicities of Barbie dolls?

She's Christie not barbie though

The first Black doll made by the Barbie brand was Black Francie, then it was Christie shortly after. This documentary talks about the first Black doll to be named Barbie.

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.

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….

I had Barbies, Kens, and Cabbage patch, mostly caucasians, some African American Barbies and Kens.

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 .

Italian is not a race👍

@@caiostrasser128 I am aware of that. I should have stated multicultural Barbies, and Barbies that represented other countries as well. Ironically, my godparents are Italian. I edited my initial response just now to reflect that. But my point was I felt blessed when I thought about it that I didn’t just have one specific Barbie and nothing else.

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

They DIDN’T want her to have.

Ugh! I had her as a lil girl myself!!! I’d love to replace her in my adult collection but she’s so expensive!! 💛

All of this before Metroid Prime 4

You will have Black Barbie on GTA 6... She is running the show.

Black Barbie was invited in the 70’s. She was here before the first GTA tf 😂

Me tooooo 😢

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.

What does “blackify” mean?

@@wigglynoodlez lol I was just joking lmao

The balcimbarbue line came out Al the ya back nthe 80s! They also have asian an dhispanjc Barbies aswell.

stop being a sell out

It is extremely unnecessary! How is this empowering to BW? It's showing jealousy, envy, insecurities etc. Barbie is white! She had friends of many ethnicities who went by different names. Christie was black. But they are so dense that they…what a waste of time typing this. This is not empowering.

Y'all r mad Black little girls deserve to see themselves in their dolls lol ​@@AnAdorableWombat1

Because some whites want everything design for them

Documentary is about brooklyn
