Posted by gipsy on 5/8/2003, 1:01 pm, in reply to "Golly isnt right." Yes I am white..but my goodness, look how many strange looking white dolls there are! Raggedy Ann and Andy for example..Is everyone with red hair and freckles to be offended by them? If Golliwog was portrayed as a villian type doll, ugly, scruffy, and stupid, I could perhaps see the point you are making..but on the contrary, he was mostly always the hero..especially in Uptons books, and she is the one who invented him..Who did the Dutch Dolls go to to be saved?..Golliwogg!His clothing was always very dapper, he wore a big smile, and generally cheered everyone up, That is why so many people love him now...as they did when they were young... If anything, those of the black race should be proud to 'own' this guy as one of them!
