Ebay just cancelled all my Black Americana postcards. It is a part of history and my customers were mostly Black Americans that were wanting a piece of their history. Use to sell at The Rose Bowl Swap Meet in Pasadena, California. One of my customers was Whoopi Goldberg. I have an extensive collection of Black Postcards. I brought my 7 albums to my father's doctor (who was black) a few years ago because she asked to see them. She was amazed and said "these are so beautiful". I understand that the cards are offensive to some people, so if you are offended move on - don't look, don't buy.
So...War Items, are they allowed? Because a lot of people died in different wars. Who decides what is offensive? These items are 100 years old, and although I don't promote bigotry, I do promote History and how we have grown from it.
Because I sell Black Americana Postcards that depict exaggerated features or even racial slurs, those are not my personal beliefs, but they are a part of History from that Era. Where is everyone else turning to sell these items?
