didnt realise your were in your 60s mr harp

I did realize you are stupid. If I grew up in the late 60’s and 70’s, as I state, then by my reckoning it makes me far younger.

This isn’t about me though is it, so do share your views on “gollywogs”?

The first African American doll in the Barbie range is usually regarded as Christie, who made her debut in 1968. Black Barbie was launched in 1980 but still had Caucasian features.
Now black dolls are everywhere – no reason why childhood toys from OUR childhood be taken away, all it does is give power to the racists.

If everyone seen them as dolls and nothing more there would not be a problem.

PS: Mr Harp id love one of them sign’s for my hallway:
No Blacks
No Dogs
No Irish

and this one for my kitchen

but then again i have a twisted sense of humour when it comes to Paddywhackery.

The signs are funny now, they wouldn’t be so funny though if the Jobcentre had them in their window. I was once accused of being a racist for telling an Irish joke about myself. Now that is funny.

While we live in a society where the London Met Police are described as “institutionally racist” and numerous others stats I won’t bore you with, then there is no place for a doll that takes the pi.ss out of the black community by caricaturing that black community.

Yes Mr Harp…most know that….but do you think it is offensive?….that questions would have more impact and reason for negativity if a black person answered….
The problem is the toy is associated with the negative word…there is no getting away from that
If I saw one now for sale I would actually buy one….I have never actively looked for one, I don’t suppose it is that difficult…Southend isn’t that far anyway :lol:

Was it originally intended to be offensive, probably not. Is it offensive now, in my opinion yes. I grew up in the late 60’s and 70’s with black friends who were abused every single day of their lives at school, based solely on the colour of their skin. With “fu. ck off back home wog” the common insult alongside various other racist bile.

I grew up with (Irish father)

No blacks
No irish
No dogs

Wouldn’t see a sign like that now, nor should we, why should it be different with “gollywogs” it is 2015 not 1966.

“The golliwog, golliwogg or golly was a black character in children’s books in the late 19th century usually depicted as a type of rag doll. It was reproduced, both by commercial and hobby toy-makers as a children’s toy called the “golliwog”, and had great popularity in Europe and Australia into the 1970s. The doll is characterised by black skin, eyes rimmed in white, clown lips and frizzy hair…

…While some see the golliwog as a cherished cultural artifact and childhood tradition, others argue that the golliwog is a destructive instance of racism against people of African descent, along with pickaninnies, minstrels, mammy figures, and other caricatures, and it has been described as “the least known of the major anti-Black caricatures in the United States”…

…After the publication of Upton’s first book, the term “golliwog” was used both as a reference to the children’s toy and as a generic slang term for black people. In the UK and the Commonwealth, “golliwog” perhaps became “wog,” a racial slur applied to dark-skinned people worldwide.[5]…

…In September 2008, Amanda Schofield from Stockport claimed she was arrested for keeping a “golly doll” in her window. Greater Manchester Police denied this and said she was arrested after a series of complaints of alleged racially-aggravated behaviour were made against her…”

To say I am Alias is the biggest insult…that man abuses me verbally none stop in the room….continuous…relentless…..he has said I am a member of ISIS…..said I don’t know who my dad is……….and that’s on a good day :lol:

Aliarse isn’t the sharpest tool in the box though is he, even on a good day. As for Blossom, I have spoken to him on Skype, his name is Nige and he is a long distance lorry driver.

Irish get a grip!!!!
1 Guns dont shoot people its the person pulling the trigger
2 Yanks have a right to bare arms but in most states they can not carry them in public
3 Anyone can get hold of a gun (you Irish should know)
4 Put our own country in order 1st before you start on others ie knife crimes
5 most gun owners are lawful people so dont paint us with the same brush and im from the uk!!!!

whats wrong with having an opinion, that i need to get a grip?
1. Thats why they should only have one shootgun for hunting and nothing else, over 9,000 people get killed in the USA each year – less guns less murders. And more checks before allowed to purchase a gun would also help.
2. The declaration for independnce was signed back in 1776, things have changed since then and there was not a military force the size it is now – there fore no need for citizens to bare arms any more, as for not allowed to carry them in public – shame no one told Dylann Storm Roof or any of the school shooters that.
3. Exactly why there should be more stringent laws against buying them. – THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY POINT :D
4. IM not in politics, so i cant put “my Country in order” but i do give out about my Country just the same – well not about gun laws as only the drug police have guns, not even the normal Garda have them.
5. IF most are lawful then how come there are so many killings in America. If your from the UK why get your knickers in a twist about American gun laws??

American States are separately legislating to ban magazine clips of more than 5/10 bullets.
Change is slowly coming through the back door, most Americans just don’t know it yet.
