I remember having one when i was young- i called it Peter. I'm sure the word "golliwog" was changed to "golly" at the time, too. I think if they called them something else, it would be less of a problem. Is there anything wrong with having a black icon?
No, it's a doll for goodness sake. I used to collect them from the jam labels and it never entered my head that they might be connected in any way with black people. It's only since mainly white do-gooders have taken it upon themselves that certain sections of society need someone to be offended on their behalf.
Another attempt to just cause a fuss. Neither racist nor necessarily nostalgic, save that one sees fewer reference to golliwogs these days because of those who can't help themselves causing issues/trouble. They should let it go and get a grip on reality. I'd like to call for idiot campaigners to be banned.

I know OG
there were even some Jewish people who objected to those 'Auschwitz Dolls' - why couldn't they just appreciate their cute little gaunt faces and stripey pyjamas?
What was the name of that black woman housekeeper who was always beating Sylvester the cat with her broom, she seems to have been censored out of the cast.
I ask because in Cuba I once bought a doll similar to that person, a black female doll of handsome proportions, with white turban and pinny, this was sold to me by a black Cuban, no problem at all.
