It's probably just how I've read that but to me that sounds a lot like "I'm a Stella swilling woman beater who likes blacking up in clubs."

I can't honestly believe that this is true but if it is I'll mention it to the black guy I deal with who has one on a key ring.  :grin:

Only people who have been offended by littleuns golly were White people who only seemed to want to warn us of what a black person might do if they saw it.... Which makes them the racist right?  :wink:

Seriously though, did they think a black man would run up and punch my girl in the face?

People need to chill the feck out

I didn't even think it was illegal to be racist.  Freedom of speech and all that jazz.

i grew up in a south east london council estate in the 70's, 80's and 90's and have experienced racism from the National Front and the BNP. This stupid doll is such a non-event that I'm surprised the Police arrested the woman in the first place. Complete waste of time.

welcome to Australia  :rolleyes: Golliwogs are a common sight in gift shops.

2nd generation greeks and italians even refer to themselves as wogs here. I nearly choaked when my Gf's workmate said " yeah, my family and me are wogs"  :shocked:

My grandad was a top Rugby league coach in the late 80's early 90's and he coached a lad called Alan Hunt who played for st helens and a few other clubs and he was black, once Alan was been a dick in training and my grandad said "if you dont stop been a prick i will put you back on the marmalade jar where you belong" :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

They are still very good friends and he see's my grandad as a family figure, you got to love old people
