slum dog thatch..., slum whore

Heavy night, was it, Mancie?

Many posters have seen it fit to use gollywog to describe black people..

I see you haven't come up with any quotes to back up that claim?

You'd have thought this very thread would have been the ideal place to do so...though no one has.

Any argument you put forward against racism is negated when you start ranting about shooting those who don't share your political views.

I'd much rather live in a world where there was name calling, wrong as that may be, than a country where people you disagree with are shot, and then have their 'dead heads' kicked about by you.

People on here don't seem to have said that it's ok to call a black person a golliwog, from what I've read most people have said that they hold the golliwogs (i.e. cuddly toys) from their childhood with affection and not as a derogatory term or even something that was necessarily seen as a representation of a black man.

Now, I know times have changed and no way would I ever call a black person a golliwog, however that doesn't take away the affection that I have for the doll I once had.

 

[flashy]

if someone looks like a golliwog then they look like a golliwog, end of, with me having curly hair my sis has often said i look like one....was i offended? was i ****e

some people have curly hair, dark skin and dark features

what is the problem?

 

[flashy]

often people make a mountain out of a mole hill, just for a reaction...mancie you did this a while ago with me just because i said i voted bnp, if you have issues with it then so be it, not everyone is the same as you, grow up

When I was called racist names, and then attacked, I happen to think that being attacked was the worst part of it. I'm pretty sure other people might agree with me. It's interesting to see you resorting to violence, after apparently taking the moral high ground over what you perceive as name calling.

Perhaps you should leave Accyweb alone when you're blind drunk.

From what I understand she only said that his hair looked like a Golliwogs ...not exactly calling him one. There is a slight difference to me.

We know that there is controversy over this word now, so she should really have been careful, however, these dolls are widely on sale now under names such as Jolly Gollies and Gollidolls (go along Blackpool front). If she had said his hair looks like a Golly, would it have made a difference ? It is the last three letters that are deemed offensive.

As other members have said these dolls are bought by mostly white children to love and caress, not to stick pins in them.

 

[Less]

bad memory but I do recall Less.. yerself and others in mourning of Acrilyc Bob not posting his obscene pep talks.. how times fly.. but there still seems the lurking suspicion that a black person can be called a gollywog..so I take that as a yes?

Acrylic Bob didn't suffer fools gladly, but I'm sure he would have made an exception in your case.

From another recent thread:-

come on Less.. summat better eh?

Perhaps it's time you took your own advice?

Yet again the PC brigade think they speak for all of us! Apparently Carol Thatcher has now received death threats...how rational is that? If the BBC were really concerned about this term being offensive then how come its one of their minions who chose to make it public...just so that they could then pretend to take the moral high ground obviously. We ARE talking about a DOLL at the end of the day!! I agree with other posters who have said Golliwog dolls were always held in affection. When we were young if we had frizzy hair we would be told we looked like one whether we were Black or White, it was banter or affectionate humour, nothing more nothing less, and certainly not Racist in any way! No one seems to have taken offence to the Froggy element in her quote, although its still not really clear what Exactly was said. Surely its what is meant by what is being said thats the main issue, not what was or was,nt said. I think its time we started being less sensitive to what people say and more sensitive to what people do! Its the PC brigade who always seem to make Colour an issue...lets face it, its not really about race because most nationalities come in for some stick over time, notably in the media. This all passes by as a bit of fun, however when that race happens to be of a different colour then different criteria is used. Surely we all need to be accepting of backgrounds and our humour base. Its very noticeable that most people who make their living from the media are mainly backing the BBC's view, yet most of the complaints received by the BBC from members of the public, are in support of Carol Thatcher....makes you think does'nt it!

[yerself]

Good old Mancie.
Living proof of the old adage: Violence is the sign language of the illiterate.

I can think of a much more accurate description of Prudence Brown, but I'd probably be banned from the website!
