Golliwogs removed from new Noddy book
First book about Noddy in 45 years
Fears the character was "too racist"


NODDY will be without some of his best friends when a new book about his latest adventures in Toyland is released.
Noddy's golliwog mates have been omitted from what will be the first official new book about the little wooden boy for more than 45 years when it is released in late October.
Author Sophie Smallwood, the granddaughter of Noddy's creator Enid Blyton, decided against featuring any golliwog characters for fear the book would be too contentious.
Instead, Noddy and the Farmyard Muddle will follow the wooden elf-like character as he tackles mysterious events at the Toyland farm after goblins arrive in town.
While the golliwogs won't be able to help Noddy this time, his other friends including Big Ears, Tessie Bear and Mr Plod will.
In Ms Blyton's books, first published between the late 1940s and early 1960s, golliwog Mr Golly was one of Noddy's best friends and helped look after his famous yellow and red car.

There were also evil golliwogs who tried to steal Noddy's car.
But the black-faced doll characters were replaced in later editions of the original Noddy books amid fears they were racist.
http://www.news.com.au/images/icon_interactives.gif Do you think golliwogs should have been axed from the book? Tell us below. Ms Smallwood said she had tried to remain true to the original Noddy stories.
"I read all the Noddy stories again before I started writing to make sure I struck the right tone," she told Britain's Sunday Telegraph newspaper.
"Most people now realise the toys removed from the stories were just toys, but sometimes things are too complicated and I thought it would cause more upset to recreate something that had moved on."
Enid Blyton Society spokesman Tony Summerfield said the removal of the golliwogs was unnecessary.
"I don't think when Enid wrote about golliwogs there was anything racist in it at all," he said.
The new book is being released to coincide with Noddy's 60th birthday.

i found it to be a " been there done that " kind of thing.... a bit of a laugh... but nothing racist about it i thought.

seems people have forgoten how to have a laugh at themselfs, and others for that matter...
did everyone forget *includeing the hey hey cast* about this skit on Hey Hey its Saterday's Red Faces? from years back, in it was 1 person and he was tied to dummies standing beside him and he would move and they move, this didnt get any way near the amount of attention as what this has....

i have got this red faces episode on one of the DVD's "The best-worst of red faces"

now if it was sooooo racist how is it that it made it to the DVD???....

talk about kicking up a big stink over what was in all honesty " A LAUGH "
---------------------------

oh yeah as for the " politicaly correct " pfft to that... changes to much for me to keep up with :P

yes it has gone to far in my opinion,,,,,,,,,next there will be no minority bad guys, all bad guys must be white.

But the real racism is now towards the disabled,,,,,,,,,,i know from personlal experience, if you have a disability that is rare and not dealt with and you choose and display even more capabilitys than the completely able bodied you then get black balled, the why is because you dicount there survival of the fittest theorie.

its sad but true so this is how they divert the next step for humanity to make and accept some even though they have a differnt set of difficultys can still perform better, i knowi can, but because i exel to such a degree most think i mustve cheated or i had extra help so then they take my extra help away and i still keap up so then they start to take away what everyone else gets trying there hardest to prove im cheating or something,,,,,,,,,basicly it amounts to prejeduce,,,,,,,,,,,prejeduc basicly means to judge and condem prematurely.

i think the Golliwogs should be included,,,,,,,,,,,,for one i dont think they look african, i think they look more like a kids vversion of a ninja type charector,,,,,,,but then i dont think in bigoted ways,,,,,,,,,but i do prejudge just like everyone else.

Golliwogs aren't supposed to look african. They are supposed to look like 'blackface minstrels' (same costume, same exaggerated feature).

These minstrels were white guys who 'blacked up' and performed music and comedy skits that completed stereotyped and took the piss out of black people - presenting them as lazy, cowardly, stupid, violent slave people.

We could debate whether the 'toy' itself is a step removed from the offensiveness of minstrels themselves - but, basically, lots of people - myself included - do find the golliwog an offensive image.

I don't agree with censorship - I just wouldn't buy the book - but it annoys that so many people display such a lack of empathy when they say they don't know what the big deal is.

I want Big Ears banned.

He is a hideous characterisation of white people (and big eared people).

I'm not too happy about Noddy either, he's a bit effeminate which is offensive to hetrosexuals.

The overweight Policeman is an insult to Police officers come to think about it.

Noddy is evil!!!!!!!!

now this is the kind of humour the world seems to be lacking in......

as i pointed out in the first post... when will " being racist " stop?.
are they so determind to have a " one race " agenda that they will stop at nothing.... it seems this way to me.

There are clues to be found as to what "golliwogs" and their creator were about. Many things are controlled and released with a specific purpose, and this particular one originated from New York, via the daughter of a wealthy banker, with family links to the usual suspects, at a time when this group was just beginning to mobilise.

Harmless children's litereature it probably was never meant to be, anymore than some of the ideas being pushed on our children today aren't, such as the occult and Satanism.

Their agenda runs very deep, and over decades and centuries using many fronts, including apparently harmless "golliwogs".

Spoken like a true no-nation-jewish-homosexual-lesbian-one-world-government-supporter-and-illuminati stooge.

There are many races of the human species and I for one prefer some over others. Nothing personal or without any vehemence toward them. It's only a natural part of the physical experience much like preferring Michelle Pfeiffer over Angelina Jolie.

Oh, I'm sorry, did that come across as racist?

The thing is that whether you remove or keep the gollywog you do not remove the racism. It is a non issue. The issue should be the racism that will exist with or without the noddy story.

I don`t think accepting different colour and culture and religion means accepting an agenda. It is clearly made to divide people and keep things going as usual. War with Iraq would be so much harder to sell if your friends are Iraqi. People need to complain about something or some group of people.

Instead of complaining about the government people complain about the immigrants. I just saw a short little documentary on the Link channel out here called All white in Barking. It was about immigration in Barking. It was interesting how people think in various degrees of racism. It seems nobody really thinks that they are racist. They say it is a "preference" but if you prefer white people over black people then I have to question why you prefer some white people over anybody and vice versa.

Preference is just a different word for the same ignorant thinking as far as i can tell.

Rodin: no you do not have to make ignorant racist assumptions.
