To ask any black posters how they feel about Gollywogs

[Bambambini]

There's a very popular FB post doing the rounds asking people to vote if they the think Gollywogs should make a come back.

I commented negatively on it as I was under the impression that black people often find them offensive and I was suspicious as to the intent of this meme doing the rounds and if it was just trying to stir up trouble. Then I looked online to back up this view and on another board black folk (or poeple who claimed to be black)seemed to be saying they couldn't care less.

So if you are black how do you feel about them, I don't want to be misrepresenting you. And to all those folk on FB voting yes and commenting how all this PC stuff is out of hand - maybe they need to see what black people actually think.

Odd, it didn't show. Here's the city.

It's interesting to hear other people's thoughts on this topic. I haven't seen the Facebook post in question (and wouldn't trust the motives of anything to do with Britain First), but those interested in the history of the golliwog and its role in British culture might find this video interesting:
