Golliwog in the window - should this really be in court?

She was living in bloody Plumstead until she emigrated (iirc) probably in the 70s-ish so there's also little room for claiming ignorance.

You remember correctly. When I left England, golliwogs were a character on my favourite marmalade.
I didn't know that golliwogs were evil until I started posting on Urban.....I must have missed the memo....
Is it ok to still like Snap, Crackle and POP?
I dont know about the 70's but certainly by the 1980's I recall Robertsons continued use of Golliwogs on their packagig was very controversial.
And I dont for a second believe that you dont see the difference between the golliwog and Kellogs Snap Crackle and Pop characters.

and racism wasn't a real thing in the UK back then. It was invented, along with sex, in 1968.
Sexism didn't exist until 1970.

As if you need a memo to work out that such caricatures are racist.
hehehe - some days you are sooo easy
Enjoy your ranting, my job is done for the day.....

It's been pointed out to her often enough. Robinson's had renamed it "Golly" because of the ongoing controversy by then anyway, way before it was dropped from the packaging.

You sure about that? This film wasn't released till 1973.
That was the backlash against all the shagging in the streets.

By the time I got there in 1980, they seemed to have gotten the street shagging well under control.

Blame fucking Thatcher. Or rather, No-fucking Thatcher.

I don't know. Mark and Carol got here somehow. Just imagine Denis and Maggie at it. Really imagine it.
Enduring image isn't it?

I'm sure there was another thread on here earlier than this one, because it reminded me when I came across these
They'd been sitting in a pub for years and the owner had sold up and was selling off everything from the pub

That's not a golliwog, though. It's just a relatively simplistic carving or what have you of a jazz band.

Yes, but it reminded me of something from another thread, but can't find the thread

That would be understandable if you were a 5 year old, given you're an adult it is at best fucking embarrrassing at worst, well take your pick.
They're hideous. I hate stuff like that but none more than those creepy porcelain victorian dolls. Well then again... I think the worst has to be sport statues, some guy dressed up in tartan and swinging a gold club, man in a barbour jacket looking down the barrel of a shotgun. Tasteless crap.

They may be hideous, but I don't think they're racist, the way caricatures like golliwogs are.

was in a pub out in the sticks with some casually racist golliwog dolls on display on the mantelpiece along with a load of other hunting tat and the sort of stuff aimed to piss off townie-commie-do-gooder-urbanites just for the sake of it.
the landlord was pissed so when he was distracted we managed to liberate one. boom. thinking about making it a little black panther outfit and sending him some pics...
