The perception of black minstrel toys is apart of a tragic point in history. Do people collect the toys to fulfill their racial desires? Are there people that want people to remember a time when slavery and racism was an industry? These toys are seen in auctions and often fetch a high value. At one point the toys allowed children to accept racism. Why are collectors so passionate on completing their collections.
