Long before I was buying my own stuff. I too had a goog as a child - that's goog as in go....og. And do admit to having various Robertson's stickers. I also still have numerous Gonk badges.

Long before I was buying my own stuff. Most kids did, the ignorance of racism at the time? Black was also connected to death a lot and sometimes prestiege items, goods or services. Stieff made a special edition black bear when the Titanic was lost, which was nothing to do with racism, but probably would not be allowed nowadays. RE: Name 5 iconic Toys - drewks - 22-08-2020 Well, I've got to say that I grew up with Golliwogs (THERE, I've said it!) in my early years and youth, and never associated it with anything racist, and still don't. It's all how you treat people, pure & simple.

Obviously some associated them with racism, are you not old enough to remember the 'F*** off back to the jungle (or similar) ya Golliwog' being one of the things you would often hear aimed at Regis, Cunningham and Batson, it used to wind me up something chronic.

Salops, unfortunately I'm EASILY old enough! Yup, don't get me wrong, I abhor racism, and know that some DID associate the G word with black people and racist thoughts and actions; I'm meaning that I didn't, and still don't. I still - perhaps wrongly - see it as the innocent word I knew in my childhood |
