Title: Racism Packaged for Kids
Product review: It is astounding to me that no on has mentioned the overt racism depicted in this book. When Harris wrote this, he basically just wrote down African American oral folklore and repurposed it for a white audience, exaggerating the slave dialect, and most horribly of all, depicted the stereotypical "happy slave." Anyone with any cultural sense should raise an eyebrow when reading this, and any kid reading it should be made to understand that this is not a accurate depiction of African Americans.People can say this review is unhelpful all they want, but it doesn't make the above any less true.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
