Today I received two notifications on two items which I have had listed for months/years- a folk art art doll of a Black American man (not a caricature) wearing a tie, and an antique photograph of a Black American maid holding a White child. Neither item depicts any possible characteristic of racial mockery or denigration. I must say that I find it personally offensive that ebay would even suggest such a thing about them. What on God's Earth is happening? I'm 60 years old and have been an ebay seller for 19 years with a 100 percent rating. Has the world lost its mind?

"while we are all being overly sensitive"
I guess Ebay better get busy since we are all offended by something. here's my request:
I want eBay to review and prohibit any listings that are derogatory to WOMEN.
if Ebay is going to be "WOKE" then it's time to remove any and all listings that exploit, derogatory or offensive in any way to women...Remove All of it. Immediately
>>> including Movies, Ads, Photos, Collectibles etc... EVERYTHING vintage pretty much
there is so much (vintage and modern) that is offensive & derogatory to women that removing it all would probably be the end of Ebay
where does it end? if we all get our way to remove offensive listings - what's left?

the new rules on what is offensive is quite broad.Why dont we just ban action movies,no more John Wayne or Eastood or Bronson.While we are at it lets bring back C. Delores Tucker and get rid of the rap music.She came to Germantown when I lived there,did not like rap music one bit.Last but not least we should ban video games,they inspire violence or so they say.I can remember back in the 80`s people were blaming bands like AC/DC and such for there childrens suicide.The banning of items shoud stop,its getting rediculous at what people are offended by

I agree,, because this censorship stuff can set a very dangerous predicent . The next fringe group could demand even more absurdity . As long as we continue to give in to the fear of violence then the only thing we will be teaching them is to keep using force . We do not want tyranny ,, so our leaders better get some backbone and quickly . Tulips

Any TV. program or movie that portrays law enforcement in a good light could be next on the chopping block. Many believe It won't stop there . There are groups that do indeed want to see police departments all across the country defunded ,, in other words abolished and they will use force if need be. Tulips

Most of the protestors were peaceful boston fabric stash
There was 55 million dollars in damage to business store owners during the last riot . Yet millions upon millions of dollars in donations are coming in by big companies ,, but not for the business owners who lost everything ,, but instead the money is being directed to benefit BLM . Doesn't seem fair but this is what fear can do . Tulips

So glad I already sold ( a couple of years ago now) those souvenir shot glasses and mugs I had from there.

I'm offended by all the carp we (The US) allow to be imported into our country from China.
