I collected the badges from the jam when I was a child and had a golliwog and never made the association between them and black people until I was told about it as an adult.
However, I have since read the old Enid Blyton books about Noddy and the Golliwogs and the gollies are portrayed as lazy and naughty. At one point Big-Ears refers to their "naughty black faces" - is this acceptable or is it laying subconcious conditioning?

Yes they are. They are the equivalent to American "black face" actors like Al Jolsen.
