[ContemplationInTranquility]

I'm of the baby boomer generation and I remember seeing that film on television. I also had a golliwog badge from Robertsons jam and friends of mine had golliwog dolls. And do you know what neither I nor anyone I know associated the name of the dog or golliwogs with black people. It is the people who go on and on about identity politics and all the various isms and so called phobias who are causing the problem. Most things people say are not even meant to offend and said in complete innocence but the terminally offended read something into everything. And even if people do say things to offend so what, ignore them and what they say. I could regularly be offended but I choose not to be. It's like the Australian comedian Steve Hughes says, "It doesn't matter if you're offended, nothing happens. You don't wake up next day with leprosy".
