Re: Robertson's Jam

Golliwogs are not politically correct,Daz, as nooooo human looks like that. Unless you want black people(specifically) to make little white dolls with thin *** lips, no asses, no breasts dirty clothes, betroot red cheeks and smellin of gone off milk and mash potatoes . Great innocent and fun idea right????? No i didn't think so....., golliwogs are a racist generalisation of what black people look like ... Google it... As you can see ignorance gets you no where.

True but there is a difference between ignorance and racism. The children who had the toys probably had no racist feeling towards black people so in that sense it was innocent. But yes the toys are very stereotypical and outdated.

Re: Robertson's Jam

My gran loved Roberston's Golden Shred marmalade and I have a vague memory of peeling the label off the jar to get the little paper golly hidden behind it.
I also remember having a soft toy golly when I was little.

Re: Robertson's Jam

I didn't have a golly...always wanted one, but I did have a back dolly. I didn't know anyone in those days that was black skinned but I adored that doll.

I collected loads of golly badges and only recently sold them on Ebay!!

My granny always made her own jam and we weren't allowed to use it straight from the jar. She always put some in a little glass bowl with a little teaspoon and we used it from there.

Re: Robinson's Jam

I loved my Cuddly Golly as a kid, wish I still had it! Ebay has loads of Golly pin badges/advertising stuff for anyone who would like to start a collection.
