I remember my gollywog toy I had as a kid, I had a great idea to go in the coal-house and black myself up so I could be just like Golly. My mum thought it would be a good idea to beat me black and blue afterwards!
This isn't racist bring it back what a great advert such as shame we have to give up British culture to appease people who have no belonging to the UK and are not from here.
The character itself isn't racist. It's the name they're given and it's association with American slaves that the wishy-washy, politically-correct people, (not black people, as most couldn't care less), find so offensive. The same reason the Beeb don't have the Black & White Minstrels on any more. Mind you, it being total shit might have had something to do with it, too. LOL
Rascism?? what bollocks, its all these regulations and rules that cause racism. Anyone remember love thy neighbour? now called racist. why? the black guy gave as good as he got.
one of the best british war films the Dam Busters, the guardroom dog, a black labrador called
and tell me why this advert should be banned "incase it offends black peopl" wow big dear lets all walk on egg shells here in the uk as to not upset none english......sorry whos country is this.....the uk is a ticking time bomb
& what really pisses me off is every year when our high street puts up Christmas lights, all the pakis complain to the council saying we r being racist, how the fuck are we being racist? Christmas is a religious festival for White Christian people. Just like Jews have Passover, & Muslims have eid. We r too respectful that's our trouble. & Don't even get me started on the St georges cross.
@TheHowThingsAre, how old r u m8?, bcos u clearly don't remember the original GOLLIWOG was not called GOLLIDOLL, it was paranoid pricks who complained about it & forced it o change, just like we can't say black board, black jack or black bags no more. Remind me to log a complaint for fucks sake cos they said expect a White Christmas. If u don't like our culture jog on & fuck off. @ Gabbygetsme, good point. @Kittylass1, lol yea they're worth a fortune now. Trouble is a lot of kids threw them out
This isn't racist it's ridiculous that we have to pander to the feelings of black people and lose traditional british culture I remember the golliwog symbol on the side of the jars
you know those penny black jacks some of us used to buy in shop as kids thats what i thought those gollywogs meant lol i never saw it as racist atal but now you come to mention it hahahaha paki or black bastard i never thought of it like that sooo thats what some of you think it meant huh??????
@Itsmeeman1 Absolutely. These are the same middle class heterophobic vermin who are rabidly anti-semetic too - because they're told to be by islamofascists, who they grovel to
Bottom line - they are FOR whatever the ordinary people are AGAINST - and vice versa.
Arrogance, nothing more "moral" than that. They are breathing life back into racism.
The BNP vote has rocketed since these creatures started doing what they do - notice ?
Look at the picture in the background of the BLACK CAT, is that racist to the cat? & look at the Color of the golliwogs eyes, they're WHITE! Fuck man, now I'm offended.
@phdwar, good point, we have loads of cartoons broadcast in this country, full of White characters, but u can bet your life if HE-MAN was black, it would ave been banned 25 years ago.
The golliwog was NOT racist, it was a cartoon character that just happened to be black. In school, we were told to sing Baa Baa White sheep instead of Baa Baa black sheep, so you,d think this alteration was deemed racist to us whites? Course not.. we're not that petty over a POXY CARTOON CHARACTER! Jeeeez
The golliwog was not racist. Politicly correct idiots made it a race issue. Did the cabbage patch kids offend fat kids? Course not, cos they weren't sad enough to make complaints. In school, we were told to say baa baa White sheep as opposed to black sheep, so surely that's racist? Eh? Nah, Not to me it ain't, I'm White & proud. If they brought back the golliwog in White, it would not offend me, I'm not that fucking petty over a poxy cartoon character.
My sister had a Gollywog doll & the other had a black doll ( don't know what name it was sold as) they didn't treat them differently than they did their Tiny Tears dolls. We also had Gollywogs on Jam & lots of other Products, it wasn't about a Darky or being a Racist. It was just a thing then it wasn't.
So If a black person had a White doll & had jam with a White person on the Jar, is that Racist???..
What gets me is that this advert is a POSITIVE portrayal of the Golliwog character as are all the other Robinson ads using it. The character is seen to be ENJOYING the product and viewer are invited to share in the enjoyment of the character in short knee jerk smartass pc worshipers badly need to catch a clue and get a life!
i have a large collection of gollywog figureens and i like them i have them in my window i love them and so do the kids if there that racist why did they sell them and put them on the jamjars people these days argue about anything to do with blacks blacks cant do this cant do that never got the job cos ime black got stopped by the police cos ime black shut the fuck up and get a life man its only a golly doll is that better
its only a golliwog people these days need to get a grip you cant sing baa baa black sheep thers no black board in school no blackjacks sweets no black and white minstrels i am not a racist but fuck me i cant open my mouth these days its only a gollywog if you dont like it fuckin get back to your own country now
load of fucking shit we have heaps of white dolls white cartoons the second there is a fucking black on its wrong if u diont like if fuck off back to the bastard forest we dont moan casue dolls r white
@phdwar Haha, funny that when Africa was a growing civilisation, much of Europe was ice age and you were neanderthals living in caves! Just saying! No point dissing African people, we all came from there, i aint even black and even i know that shit. Now shut the fuck up ;)
@gamewizard "Homo Neanderthalis and Homo Sapiens are different species" - Only by historical convention.
"if Africa was so great, how did Europe catch up and surpass them?" - That is a fairly silly question.
Given that 'modern' humans are 10,000s to 100,000s of years old the real puzzle is how comes we all lived exactly the same until only 13000BCE. "Europe" s dominance is a blink at 600yrs.
I think you need to read some history and ease back on the games. I recommend 'Guns Germs & steel'
@WESTYBABES247 is fuckin right there own people sold them as slaves thats history the part they dont want you to know about there own chiefs made a profet out of slavery thats a fact
@mrcarling67 Sir, calm down, conduct a spelling & grammar check and check the facts (in whichever order you would like). Own people sold them as slaves??!! By own people are you referring to ANYONE black or a specific tribe/country? Many Chinese and Eastern Europeans are illegally trafficked into this country for sex slavery etc by ahem 'their own people' this doesn't make the atrocity any more acceptable. If we were to find out the British Government were supporting.......
@garth1984 these atrocities, there would be international outcry. You claim 'im not a racist' but im afraid your earlier comments reveal the feelings you hold in your heart: 'f****n get back to your own country now' etc. Now if you seriously want to change your ways (there are varying degrees of racism; even some im probably guilty of) i suggest reading some more reputable sources before forming such opinions. Send me your email address and i'll be glad to help you in your understanding. TC
@GamingWithStatoke That's nice and obtuse. I'm sure if there had not been decades of minstrel shows and general degradation around 'darkie' iconography and Africans in general it would have been fine.
You can test this buy seeing how nobody cares about any other 'black' doll.

Stewart Lee
@venger You're very right. The idea of the golliwog came from the black and white minstrels it was for white entertainment to stereotype black people. Hence the reason why SOME blacks were offended while some just did not care. If they were to show this today, with all of the political Correctness I am very sure there would be a riot or world war 3.
I've learned a massive amount from these comments. For me Gollys only have positive connotations as i associate them with marmalade and free toys for loyal customers
Really can't see what the problem is.they should never have banned golliwogs.after all everyone knows that golliwogs look just like coons so that's hardly a reason to ban it.
@caryljohn1 That's not really what political correct means.
Political correct for example is an violent action drama that involves say a bank robbery. And there is some directive, usually motivated by public policy, that the get-away drive can't be seen using a phone while driving. <- That's what political correct is, an absurdity , ironic.
You've just used it to express frustration at liking something almost everybody else has rejected as offensive. Completely different.
@CmdrTobs 63 people have liked this, only 8 have disliked. I wouldn't say that qualifies as something that 'almost everybody else has rejected as offensive'. :-/
@TheMightyHartley I can find videos arguing the Government controls thoughts with ELF waves with similar approval/disapproval stats. What does that prove? Exactly.
Crazy how such a innocent toy that was loved by children for many a year could cause such a commotion......I mean just look at the comments from black, White, and asian. Dont blame the toy its u dumb Fucks creating the issues.........!!
@baddacoodoo Well, originally, Gollis were bought by the White-African and British communities in places like South Africa, and they were used like a racism-inducing "voodoo doll" to racially abuse the children of the Zulu and Mauri tribes; it was also seen as a way to insult the Afrikaans Circus Slaves in the 60s/70s.
It was actually the Native-African communities that signed for the ban of gollis. I used to have one as a baby, but it got ripped apart by my dog, Jesse, when I was 4.
@911sxychik Were they really Vodoo dolls..! Wow, i must have missed that one then. Trust me, after spending 3 months trekking through the heart of Africa in 2002, i can tell u that racism reared its ugly head at me several times too. I was once forced to lick the puke of a member of a Congalese gang, Just for being White...:( and he had great pleasure in waving his machete at me as i fled for fear of my life..! So i have good reason to think that a Golli is actually quite insignificant.....!
@baddacoodoo By the "voodoo doll" thing, i meant white african/british families would tell their kids that tribes would put a child up for sacrifice, taking the piss of the Voudoun Tribes in West Africa, who carried out animal sacrifice. This gave "white" kids the instinct in believing Gollis can be used to take the piss by using them as a form of voodoo doll by sticking shards of glass/pins into the dolls around the tribal kids whose parents worked on the Durban Shorefront Bazaar.
@baddacoodoo Some of the tribes never forget and are now basically taking vengeance for "the sins of our forefathers". Some of these traits are still carried around today - that's why, after sixteen years, there are still post-apartheid riots in most parts of Africa, because the tribal people never forgot how they were treated like cattle in the circuses, and were racially abused as children. The Congalese Tribes were usually treated the worst as they had a voudoun priest.
@911sxychik Wow ..It sounds as if i was lucky to get away with my life then, maybe licking that puke saved me. I had always wanted to trek down the west side of Africa but dont think i will now...lol. How come you are so educated on this subject anyway...?
@LillabetteHane Those are the best table manners I'v seen from anyone. Black white or Asian. Oh I forgot. Its animation you redneck!!! sheesh you inbreeding creatures are sure laying on the Class de hillbilly aren't you. Your meth head mom must have taught you such vulgar stereotypes as a kid. To bad she's giving busy giving her cousin head to correct your stupidity Oh well maybe you'll die soon.
why do people think its racist? if it was a white guy would you think of racism too? you should look beyond the skin color and see the delisious marmelade :D
@disjoinedchip2 Yeah, right - the Homepride men incite class war... LOLLOLOLOL.
I grew up with golly toys and the Homepride men - it never, ever occured to me about racism or any other PC-ism that's causing more problems than it solves.
@SuperGingernutz that's my point if people think this is racist then whites could claim the homepride men are racist. i agree with you i never thought this was racist and the pc culture is stupid. i just thought of the golly i had as a kid. but pc headcases banned it.
@SuperGingernutz Whatever your stance on the issue "the Homepride men" is a TERRIBLE analogy. One of the worst I've witnessed in the circus of stupidity known as the youtube comment section.
Symbols derive their meanings from the message and actions of their predominate users.
By your warped logic flying a Swastika would be indifferent on the basis it's just a collection of coloured shapes that purely geometrically is not more or less offensive than the Union Jack!
@CmdrTobs 'Symbols derive their meanings from the message and actions of their predominate users'. Whilst the Golliwog isn't strictly a symbol of course, it was nevertheless 'predominantly used' as a small child's toy until the 1970s. Please explain the relevance of your observation in that context.
@TheMightyHartley "it was nevertheless 'predominantly used' as a small child's toy until the 1970s." - Wrong. It is a subsection of wider 'Darky' iconography along with Minstrel shows etc...
If it was solely "a small child's toy", we would not be having this debate. It would be as innocuous as a Jumeau doll or a Madame Alexander doll that came with 'black'. - both over 100yrs ago..
@CmdrTobs I didn't say it was 'solely' used as a small child's toy, I said it was predominantly used as one; there's a difference. For all the debate about golliwogs being encoded with the currency of racism, my brother had one when he was little, and neither he, I, or either of my parents are racist. As far as we were concerned it didn't even represent a black person. My brother was a 'predominant' user, and the golliwog didn't derive meaning (your claim) from being owned by children like him.
@TheMightyHartley 'solely' was me giving you benefit of any ambiguity.
I didn't actually say you have to be racist to like one. It's the fact it was linked to Darky Iconography as I've stressed before.
I'm sure there were many people who had a great time in activities of the Hitler youth and had good honest non-racist fun, though it's inextricably linked to the Nazi regime.
Unless you are 'black' you can't really reclaim Gollywogs. Focus your blame at the racists that caused this.

Really can't see what the problem is.they should never have banned golliwogs.after all everyone knows that golliwogs look just like coons so that's hardly a reason to ban it.

@caryljohn1 There's a difference between political correctness and just plain racist.
SlightyDisturbedNBK 1 month ago
@caryljohn1 That's not really what political correct means.
Political correct for example is an violent action drama that involves say a bank robbery. And there is some directive, usually motivated by public policy, that the get-away drive can't be seen using a phone while driving. <- That's what political correct is, an absurdity , ironic.
You've just used it to express frustration at liking something almost everybody else has rejected as offensive. Completely different.

@baddacoodoo Well, originally, Gollis were bought by the White-African and British communities in places like South Africa, and they were used like a racism-inducing "voodoo doll" to racially abuse the children of the Zulu and Mauri tribes; it was also seen as a way to insult the Afrikaans Circus Slaves in the 60s/70s.
It was actually the Native-African communities that signed for the ban of gollis. I used to have one as a baby, but it got ripped apart by my dog, Jesse, when I was 4.

@911sxychik Were they really Vodoo dolls..! Wow, i must have missed that one then. Trust me, after spending 3 months trekking through the heart of Africa in 2002, i can tell u that racism reared its ugly head at me several times too. I was once forced to lick the puke of a member of a Congalese gang, Just for being White...:( and he had great pleasure in waving his machete at me as i fled for fear of my life..! So i have good reason to think that a Golli is actually quite insignificant.....!
baddacoodoo 3 months ago
@baddacoodoo By the "voodoo doll" thing, i meant white african/british families would tell their kids that tribes would put a child up for sacrifice, taking the piss of the Voudoun Tribes in West Africa, who carried out animal sacrifice. This gave "white" kids the instinct in believing Gollis can be used to take the piss by using them as a form of voodoo doll by sticking shards of glass/pins into the dolls around the tribal kids whose parents worked on the Durban Shorefront Bazaar.
911sxychik 3 months ago
@baddacoodoo Some of the tribes never forget and are now basically taking vengeance for "the sins of our forefathers". Some of these traits are still carried around today - that's why, after sixteen years, there are still post-apartheid riots in most parts of Africa, because the tribal people never forgot how they were treated like cattle in the circuses, and were racially abused as children. The Congalese Tribes were usually treated the worst as they had a voudoun priest.

@911sxychik Wow ..It sounds as if i was lucky to get away with my life then, maybe licking that puke saved me. I had always wanted to trek down the west side of Africa but dont think i will now...lol. How come you are so educated on this subject anyway...?

I grew up with golly toys and the Homepride men - it never, ever occured to me about racism or any other PC-ism that's causing more problems than it solves.

@SuperGingernutz that's my point if people think this is racist then whites could claim the homepride men are racist. i agree with you i never thought this was racist and the pc culture is stupid. i just thought of the golly i had as a kid. but pc headcases banned it.

@SuperGingernutz Whatever your stance on the issue "the Homepride men" is a TERRIBLE analogy. One of the worst I've witnessed in the circus of stupidity known as the youtube comment section.
Symbols derive their meanings from the message and actions of their predominate users.
By your warped logic flying a Swastika would be indifferent on the basis it's just a collection of coloured shapes that purely geometrically is not more or less offensive than the Union Jack!

The Swastika is a religious used in the Hindu religion. Is it racist to use it in that context, or is the swastika racist in any context?

@CmdrTobs 'Symbols derive their meanings from the message and actions of their predominate users'. Whilst the Golliwog isn't strictly a symbol of course, it was nevertheless 'predominantly used' as a small child's toy until the 1970s. Please explain the relevance of your observation in that context.
TheMightyHartley 3 weeks ago
@TheMightyHartley "it was nevertheless 'predominantly used' as a small child's toy until the 1970s." - Wrong. It is a subsection of wider 'Darky' iconography along with Minstrel shows etc...
If it was solely "a small child's toy", we would not be having this debate. It would be as innocuous as a Jumeau doll or a Madame Alexander doll that came with 'black'. - both over 100yrs ago..
CmdrTobs 3 weeks ago
@CmdrTobs I didn't say it was 'solely' used as a small child's toy, I said it was predominantly used as one; there's a difference. For all the debate about golliwogs being encoded with the currency of racism, my brother had one when he was little, and neither he, I, or either of my parents are racist. As far as we were concerned it didn't even represent a black person. My brother was a 'predominant' user, and the golliwog didn't derive meaning (your claim) from being owned by children like him.
TheMightyHartley 3 weeks ago
@TheMightyHartley 'solely' was me giving you benefit of any ambiguity.
I didn't actually say you have to be racist to like one. It's the fact it was linked to Darky Iconography as I've stressed before.
I'm sure there were many people who had a great time in activities of the Hitler youth and had good honest non-racist fun, though it's inextricably linked to the Nazi regime.
Unless you are 'black' you can't really reclaim Gollywogs. Focus your blame at the racists that caused this.
