1444652 2018-01-16 01:37:00 Did A search on Gollywog on Google and came across this english.stackexchange.com

Seems to be possibly innocently invented?? and then adopted as a derogatory term for just about any non Caucasian .

Of course Racist Caucasians would see nothing offensive about this, and lets face it, the Great British Empire, before the two world wars, probably had to have the greatest collection on long noses to look down that has ever been!
Do you think we may have inherited a bit of this?

1444653 2018-01-16 02:59:00 It's not so much the blacks that are offended, it's more the whites who are experiencing righteous indignation on behalf of the blacks. The blacks do not have much to say at all.
Know every 'black' in the world Roscoe?
Didn't think so....

1444654 2018-01-16 03:14:00 A ridiculous premise Clive, the people who find it offensive are primarily people of colour, (and those of us with a social conscience)
to suggest that they are racist is at least wrong-headed, possibly far worse, have you looked deeply within yourself to find your inner Trump?

I made my point Dave and you have reinforced it for me.

1444655 2018-01-16 03:24:00 Sadly Clive the only thing reinforced in this is your underlying racism.
Attempting to defend the indefensible like you do, is par for the course for a certain type of
social dinosaur. I recommend you try harder to move with the times, instead of
continuing with this ridiculous 1930s style racist rubbish. :)

1444656 2018-01-16 04:28:00 I have some difficulty in working out if you really believe what you say Dave or if you are just trolling again.
Either way you are quite entiltled to your opinion just as others are entitled to theirs have a nice day.

What about them Goliwogs calling us Honkies? :eek:

I suppose that’s OK.

I reckon leave the matter in the capable hands of the Slope’s, Dago’s, and Wogs. :)

Why not offend everyone and give the Bleeding Heart, Hand Wringing, Tree Huggers something to else to complain about.

Anyway, if all else fails, the Kumar’s at No. 42 will sort it out. ;)

I’m sorry PJ, but if you had a White Golliwog that would make you a “Racist White Supremacist” in the eyes of the “PC Protest Movement”. :)
