walshie Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 It's a joke. I don't even think the complainant was black. IMO it's more racist for someone to look at a golliwog toy and think "that looks like a black man" than the owner who probably thinks of it as nothing but a toy. I've had a golliwog on the shelf for years now. Just take it down now and again to give it a good whipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 I think my sister still has all those Robinson's golliwogs we used to collect after sending off the labels from jam jars as kids. I wouldn't like to be the person who tries to take them from her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people who complain about racism or many other isms these days aren’t black or the thing they complain about! Theyre just virtue signalling as it’s now the trendy thing to do, many people feel they “must challenge” certain things. The issue is, most people are too stupid to challenge a child’s crossword puzzle book... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 True racism goes deeper than children's toys or stories. The protesters should be lobbying for equality - regardless of colour or creed, rather than trying to grab a headline. Truly pathetic.

Benthejockey Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 I’d be more worried what noddy was doing in the dark dark woods rather than those naughty Gollies. Little miscreant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sha Bu Le Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Wife has a set of 5 Gollywogs given to her by a very good friend who died shortly afterwards. She does not display them in case they get damaged, she really treasures them. No one could be less of a racist than MrsSBL however I think she would have the eyes from anyone who tried to take them from her. OP story above also puts me in mind of quite a few years ago before all this PC garbage really got started. Woman had set of pottery pigs on her window sill, had been there for ages. Knock on the door one day, there stood a polooseman who demanded she remove the ornaments. She refused, he then told if she did not remove them he would arrest her. Told her to do one; get off her property and not to return without a warrant. Nothing happened iirc. Again a single complaint, a moslem ?. Non of the moslems or black people I know give a rats about these things so why should the snowflakes. I know its because they are snowflakes.

Rewulf Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 I remember buying one out of a shop in Scarborough a few years ago , garden ornament about 3 inches high on the end of a stick. Shopkeeper said 'I best wrap this up' I felt like a right criminal walking up the sea front with a golly sticking out from the top of this brown paper bag What on earth has happened to us ?
