Detroit Dollar General in trouble over figurines

According to WXYZ, the figurines were being sold at the Super Dollar Center in Lincoln Park. The statuettes showed a white cherub, decked out in armor and holding a sword, with his foot on the head of a black cherub with horns, appearing to be depicting the Archangel Michael defeating Satan, according to the news station.

Needless to say, some found the image depicted disturbing.
Of course they did. It's 2017. Most everyone is easily offended today.
quote:
“It has a racial undertone and why does the baby have to be black,” a resident, identified as Reniqa G. told the news station. “If they wanted to portray a message they could have been the same color— so to me it’s almost like blacks are inferior.”
quote:
The news station notes that it was a customer who brought the figurines to their attention. Last week the customer called the store and asked for them to be removed. However, when the news station showed up to the store yesterday, they were still there until the owner started to take them down.
quote:
The owner told WXYZ that he had meant to take them down last week, but got distracted by the busy holiday season. With the news team there however, the figurines were removed pretty quickly.

It's getting to the point where stores need to have every product that they intend to carry go through a diversity panel for approval.

Look how proud of themselves they are.
But yea, those seem like something only a racist would buy.

That is such a weird arse figurine, regardless of skin colors.

DGAF about the races, but it's a weird statue. Why babies?
Also, super dollar center =/= Dollar general.

I wouldnt even really notice the race issue
The bigger issue to me is who the hell thought it would be a good idea to depict a toddler slaying another toddler at his feet?
I get the whole St. Michael defeating Satan thing but that had never been depicted as cherubs
ETA: That being said, are these available online anywhere?

I don't understand how you can have a cultcha where you act tough and badass 24/7 and then cry like bitches over shite like this.
Regardless, what kind of dumbass trinket in this? Who buys this besides the 40 year old trailer wife for the holidays.
