"...such as it is"

I remember when Black Dolls were rare.
They were very few, and shabbily made.
These were an afterthought for the Negro market.

If you're of an age
You may remember Cabbage Patch dolls.
In the 1970's they were a must have gift.
They made Black ones.
None as in near Zero sold.

Whites wouldn't go near them in a Hazmat Suit.
That, and Blacks weren't into the demented Cabbage Craze.

There has since been progress.

Whites buy these above as they buy Rap music.
Most Rap music is this country is bought by whites.
As is the tradition.
Whites are fascinated by our culture however
still despise us as people.

They let Black fashion dolls into their homes.
They'd do that before they'd ever imagine
having a Black person cross their door way.

Such is as it is.
