Crap. In a conversation with an older Black woman recently she referred to a younger woman with whom she was displeased as "nothin' but a fat black mammy." Normal black folks won't be traumatized by a doll f'r crissakes.

My mother was born and raised in Manchester where she lived until she met and married my Air Force father. As a result, she had a lot of weird sayings that none of my friends' mothers ever said, lol!
One silly rhyme she used to regale us with at bedtime was: "Who peed," said the doggy. "I don't know," said the gollywog, "I don't know who peed."
Haven't heard the term in donkeys' years (another saying she had!).

Golliwogs are deeply offensive to Americans because of their perceived links to slavery and racism.That's rather a broad brush statement. To a majority of Americans, they're simply a product of times gone by. A historical bit of trivia.

Political correctness, plus attention-starved losers keep asinine concepts alive. And most of us shrug it off or consider it trivial. The mere concept that I am entitled to define what
must be offensive to everyone else, just boggles my mind.
I find the ugliness and insanity of Rosa DeLauro offensive, when I watch CSPAN.

As recently as 1975 there was a chain of very popular restaurants name Sambo's. All the characters from the charming story were depicted on the walls. I remember eating there regularly with my children. I can't remember when America lost its collective mind, but the business was attacked based solely on its name, and quickly faded away entirely. I supported the chain to the bitter end.
