"I gave them my papers to prove I'm qualified, they said, 'Sorry Mister, you're white and you're too old'.

"How can you survive in a country like this when he says straight to you, 'you're white'? What have they got against the whites? And it's white people [saying that].

Popular culture tends to evolve over time and the nasty bits get thrown out eventually. I was reading Enid Blyton books at four and remember the Golly in some of them and it was pretty innocuous. By the time I was nine the term 'wog' was aimed at some of my school friends and it was easy to make the connection.

I've just heard on the news that diphtheria is being diagnosed again after decades of non-infection, do you want that back as well?


Nah, i’ll settle for golliwogs...


You don't get to pick and choose.


I do, you can still buy them! :thumbsup:


Why would you?

The only people who seem to want to do it, do it to cause offence, why would you want to piss someone off?

More like those that lacked any kind of intelligence or were racists.

We never had one and i'm in my early 50's.


I feel for you :bawlin: .... I bet you never had the tooth fairy either, believed Santa came down the chimney or Snow White really was white? :laughing:


Middle class upbringing.

Yeah we had the tooth fairy, Santa and all the rest..

Didn't have racist or thick parents, that's all! :smilin:

Because a black barbie would be promoting positivity whereas the Golliwog was used to demean, insult and belittle black people. It played off of tropes and imagery long established as dehumanising and reinforcing negative stereotypes about black people.


No, it was created as an innocent toy loved by millions of kids worldwide..... the likes of your warped brain turned it into the racist icon it is today! :roll:

No, but you know now. eyebrow

I had a golly badge, completely unaware of the racist connotations.and Enid Blyton was one of my favourite childhood authors! :bawlin:

I forgive her, her stories were twee but lovely. :ooer:


There you go then... we were all innocent until the minority intervened and brainwashed us, turning the lovable, rag doll into a racist icon and confusing the fuck out of kids worldwide!


You’ll get over it. It’s just a doll mocking a whole race. We all have to grow up eventually. :smilin:


I’m over it.... I just feel sorry for those that caused its demise!..... maybe I should rant about Barbie being blue eyed and blond! :grrrrr:
