I've seen Golly dolls rather often throughout this site, and it aroused certain suspicions ... So I went to Wikipedia.org and read up on the history of these dolls. My suspicions proved correct.

Does anyone else notice the racism these dolls represent? Sure, they've been "innocent" playthings for several generations, but they were created to look like black-face minstrels ... white people who painted themselves to look like black people. Their large red lips and wild hair are incredibly stereotypical.

Maybe it's because I'm 18 and haven't grown up with these dolls, but ... I think they're an abomination.

Any thoughts?
