When I was little in the 50s I had a gollywog and I loved him to bits. One year my mum bought me a black dolly to play with and I loved her to bits as well. Back in the 50s a lot of people came over from Jamaica to find work and a better way of life and surely to goodness, little Jamaican girls would want to play with black dollies as a white dolly wouldn't have felt right for them. I was brought up to be 100% non-racist, which I remain to this day. Dolls of all ethnic races should be welcomed if we are a multi-ethnic country, which we now are, like it or lump it.
