¡¡ COMPLETE SET OF
These highly controversial stamps commemorate the famous character Memin Pinguin who first appeared in a 1945’s comic book. These five stamps depict a boy drawn with exaggerated features, thick lips and wide open eyes. His speech, appearance and mannerisms are the subject of kidding by white characters in the comic which is still published in Mexico. Though the Mexican government defends the issue of these stamps, they have caused uproar among activists, most notably The NAACP and Rev. Jesse Jackson. They are starting a movement to get the stamps removed from circulation and it is only a matter of time before Mexico recalls these stamps. Get this COMPLETE set of 5 stamps before they get recalled and before they sell over because it is a limited edition!!! MEMIN PINGUIN´S CHARACTER WAS CREATED IN THE 1940´S FOR THE MEXICAN WRITER YOLANDA VARGAS DULCHE AND IT IS ABOUT A BLACK FUNNY KID AND ITS ADVENTURES WITH HIS PALS AND HIS BELOVED MOM ALL IN A VERY LOVED COMIC THAT IT IS STILL ON SALE HERE IN MEXICO. THESE STAMPS ARE CREATING A STRONG CONTROVERSY SINCE THE UNITED STATES SAY THE MEMIN PINGUIN CHARACTER IS AN OFFENSE TO THE AFRICAN AMERICAN PEOPLE. NOTE: IT WAS ALMOST INSANE WHEN I WENT TO THE POST OFFICE TO BUY THESE STAMPS, THERE WERE LONG LINES ALL IN ORDER TO BUY THEM SINCE HERE IN MEXICO THIS CONTROVERSY IS ON THE NEWS(TV) AND IN ALL THE NEWSPAPERS TOO.
