I used to collect the tokens on the jars back in the 70s and got a golliwog badge i used to wear it than and nothing used to be said its not
accepatable anymore.
Political correctness gone to far.

hahaha, oh gosh Ang. Only you could do that :P That was a good read, thanks for cheering me up after a hard day at work.
I bought my mum a golliwog the other week from blackpool, she loves it :) She see's them in the card shop every time we walk past and always
complains about wanting one so I got her a mini one with money left over from Rock haha.

Awww, glad to have made you happy, this has had us all laffing this weekend I've had to search for the doll all day to post a pic as some may not
know what one is.
If ever you see a bigger one on sale please please let me know where and I'll be on my way to buy it, the one in the pic is about 4 inches high, I
want the big one  |
In fact I do know where they sell a massive one haha, there is one in the shop quite near my house and it reaches above your knee... dressed in red
and black pin stripes 
Do you really fancy travelling to manchester for a Golliwog though? haha ... in fact dont answer that

Good luck trying to find one to buy Ang. Very few shops stock them now cos they usually get fined £1000 if anyone complains about them.  Fom, you were actually quite lucky to get one (and to know other shops that
sell them  ).

WOW!!!!!! £1000 fine, dear lord, and yet a knife is what, 37p? or has it finally gone up now?
How ridiculous , think I may have to get my bow tie out of
retirement and this time show up at 10 Downing Street
|
Its just because some people use golliwog as a racist term so that obviously means the dolls are offensive
What planet these people live on I don't know.

Tell you what, next time I go down to the town center I will take a picture of the Golliwogs on sale, they have been in the window for about... a year
now? I dont think they have ever been sold but no one really cares about them.
Tbh, if kids have multi rational dolls the better.

LOL ANGIE! I laughed so much.
My mum LOVES them, she's not racist, she thinks they're cute.
When we went to great yarmouth, she bought a doll for only a fiver and a fridge magnet for even less, they're really cheap in coast places.

LMAO!! Tom, It was a long enough story but so many other little things made it funnier too, for example
Whilst waiting in reception looking like a tw****...well no actually looking like a huge Golliwog.
Some woman just nonchalantly asks me directions how to get to Cheam high Street, and i'm like...WTF cant you se I'm a Golliwog for christs sake go
ask robocop outside..jeeez |
LOL yes. I'm not really laughing at the fact you went to school dressed as a golliwog (OK I am its funny in itself) but the way you've worded it
makes it a whole lot funny
If you would've just said "I went to speak to my daughters headteacher dressed as a golliwog in protest because her golliwog caused a bit of
controversy" it would have just been worthy of a but you actually
did make me LOL and for a good few minutes as well

Not Manchester itself but the area around it ...
Anyway was just wondering where you've seen them thats all. Vague idea where Middleton is but I always get it mixed up with Middlebrook, that
shopping place behind the Bolton Ground

Sorry but I will have to disagree
This toy, as people refer to it by the G and W words is racist. It is a characture of Afro-Americans from the time of slavery in the southern US
states.
It is deeply offensive and it was a great day when Robbinsons Jam was made to consign this logo to the dustbin of history
In the Noddy books they were always portrayed as the villains, which also added to the racist connotations about Archaic term removed.
What I am surprised about, is that the school did not confiscate the doll and place the daughter who bought it in detention as well, with the parents
called in that very day.
Also on a side point is there anyway this thread title can be renamed to remove a word that is considered racist.

Golliwog, when referring to a doll, is not a racist word in the slightest. Its not been used with malicious intent and if Angie and her family (a
black family) do not find the doll to be racist or offensive, then IMO their opinions are worth more than any white person who says the doll is racist
as they are in the group that its said to be an insult towards.
Its PC gone mad that post is.
