racism
Golliwogs were harmless popular black dolls at one time, and Robinsons used a picture of them on their jams and marmalade. They even had enamel badges made, and kids collected the set.
Later, the term 'wog' became an insult for black people. Golliwogs became less popular, and Robinsons, after much soul-searching, decided they would remove them rather than be accused of racialism.
Shame - but thats the modern world.
Bunts is absolutely right give him ten.....
Because of racism, i think they would be allowed to put him back, i remember the gollywog badges you used to be able to collect. i honestly dont see how it can be classed as racist in this day and age. and i bet most black people wouldnt find it racist either.
Because it was deemed offensive,but if that is so why are they being advertised and bought and sold all over the internet.I used to collect the badges and pins,I am not racialist and don't know one person who was offended by them.Just a load of nonsense to me.
Because it was thought impolite to coloured people
the pc people strike again im afraid
Bunts is pretty much right. Also, in books such as Enid Blyton, the golliwog was always in trouble or causing trouble, so that's been banned, too.
PC. Aren't you just fed up with it?
when Idi Amin ruled Uganda, he once sent for the British ambassador and told him in no uncertain terms that unless the british government stopped telling lies and trying to ridicule him ( Idi Amin) he would have no alternitive but to withdraw Uganda from the commonwealth and remove the queens head from all postage stamps in uganda.The British ambassador apparently informed field marshall Amin that if he carried out his threat to remove the queens head from Ugandan postage stamps the British government would have no alternative but to retaliate in kind and remove his(field marshall) Amins photograph from all british marmalade jars.Perhaps the British government carried out its threat.
Well for a start it was "gollywog", or was it "golliwog"?
Not trolling here at all are you? If not it's an EXTREMELY silly question.
It was thought to be offensive to black people but it isn't
Another politically correct thing
because people were saying it was racist.
