Black rag dolls that came with instructions to "find a wall" and slam the toy against it have been pulled from three stores after customers and a lawmaker said they were offensive.

The "Feel Better Doll" featured instructions to "whack" the doll "whenever things don't go well and you want to hit the wall and yell."

The president of One Dollar Zone said roughly 1,000 dolls were pulled this week from its store in Bayonne and two others also in New Jersey.

The dolls were made of black fabric with yarn hair of red, green, black and yellow in the style of dreadlocks, and featured large white eyes and a white smile.

State Assemblywoman Angela McKnight, a Democrat whose district includes Bayonne, called the dolls "offensive" and "inappropriate" after seeing a post on social media.

Bayonne Mayor Jimmy Davis said in a Facebook post that the dolls were "insensitive" and "can certainly be considered racist."

I can see her point. I am offended by white toilet paper. When I use white tp it goes into the black crack of my butt, and is soiled by the brown poop.

Seems like it would be much easier to do this if there was a rope tied off to the doll to swing it.

They can recall mine if they want to but my idea of "feel better" is a little different so it might be a little uhhhhh....lets say crustier than expected.

Those wacky guys at Harvey Hutter, I wonder if they made these right before they shuttered the factory.

These things have been around for decades and come in all kinds of colors but we only want to get rid of one because some worthless politician wants to make a name for herself by finding racism in everything.
