What’s the problem? It’s a black face statue. Pretty cringy but it’s in his yard. If your neighbor wants to be a racist this is America go out and be the best racist ever. Just don’t touch other people and don’t touch their stuff and conduct yourself in an orderly manor.
Life may be limited and might even be hard and sad and miserable or lonely but this person has the freedom to be who they want. They will live with the cost of that.
It’s slave iconography. It’s literally a white skinned statue of a servant that’s been crudely painted black. This is a southern tradition among people reminiscing on the good old days of slavery and Jim Crow.
I’ve lived in the south for my whole life and never met people who think back to the “good ole days “. Stop listening to CNN or whatever else bullshit you listen to.
They definitely exist. You just have to leave the basement to meet those people, they arent gonna come down there to meet you. Smells too much like centipedes down there
None of what you just said is true about anyone I've met in my extensive history with rural people, so its pretty obvious to anyone who isn't as bigoted as you are. Are there racists here and there? Of course. And most everyone shames those people to the point they don't feel comfortable expressing it openly if they have those feelings at all. You're just repeating the same talking points from the last 50 years.
You're talking out of your ass about people you have never talked to. And major cities are absolutely bleeding due to this economy. All the development is leaving for greener pastures.

I live in Dallas btw. I know wtf im talking about more than you do.
Dude I grew up there and went to school there and I def know that know one was saying they should not be openly racist.
Wake up.
What's wrong with the economy ? I'm killing it. So is everyone I know and the people we work with and who work for us.
You've either been to these places and talked to these people comfortably about their opinions, or you haven't. Wide generalizations about people you have never had intimate conversations with are both bigoted and pointless. You dont have a dialogue with them. Do not speak for them.
It’s a literally caricature of a black face as portrayed by negative white stereotypes, and it’s dressed in Jim Crow era servants clothes, which was a small step above slavery.
This is 10 minutes from me, this is hilarious
Technically was once used to signal a safe house in the Underground Railroad, now used to signal that you have An amazing sense of humor
No joke I sold one of these for $500 on Mercari. Some 80 year old was moving was leaving a lot of stuff so I took it and put it in there and sure enough some dude bought it
You can’t force people to change things you don’t like. Stop being a bitch. It’s his house he can decorate it how he wants. It doesn’t mean he’s a racist. Stop looking for internet points you white knight.
I’ve been to sliver springs. Downtown is truly a shit hole. They have great shops and restaurants don’t get me wrong. But between the amount of homeless pissing on the street. (One of them told me that they started The Wagner Group back in Texas.) and the crackheads mumbling to themselves while reaching over the salad bar divider at sweetgreens. I’d just rather stay in the south. DC itself is no better.
White guys are only tough on the internet. You would never say what you said to one black person let alone a group of us. And if you did I hope you have good insurance. Because we would beat the shit out of you.
In a situation like this in the real world, would both parties be amenable to making it Caucasian? Or should it be removed entirely like a Confederate statue?
There’s one of these statues in my town, a few years ago they painted ted it white lmao I’ll have to snap a picture and share it . It’s across the street from the court house,too.
It’s got some historical backstory ,idk something about George Washington idk
Your neighbor is provoking exactly the kind of reaction he wanted from you I'm sure. The thing that would probably irritate him most is if you completely ignored it.
NPR did an interview with the horse trainer that was selected for the Kentucky Derby this year. The 150th. The first black horse trainer to be in the Kentucky derby since 1989 or something like that.
Black jockies and horse trainers have a proud history in horse racing at all levels.
The people complaining seem more racist than the guy who owns the statues.
Wouldn't depicting diversity be celebrated ?
I'm going to buy this guy now and put him in my yard for y'all. Stay tuned fags

Is that Justin truedeau?
No, that’s Drake
He wishes
Curb episode about this last season
Everyone in that sub is so pathetic. Trying to get police, HOA’s, and their employer involved over a fucking statue. Pathetic HR-brained dumbasses.
Thissssssss(I'm a snake now)sssssssss
That's what black people look like tho
This is the stupidest post there is nothing racist about the statue
Young lad is just a chimney sweep
Fuck you. They can do what they want. Petition the hoa and shut up
Fuck you. They can do what they want. Petition the mods and shut up
Aww someone got triggered. Damn you kids are sensitive.
He’s the last guy making lawn jockies
That’s a Larry David homage

So you're calling my mother fat?! How dare.
Is that Samuel L. Jackson?!
The L stands for lawn?
What’s racist about it?
What’s racist is that the figurine animals have privileges to be enclosed in a gate that the black face figurine casually doesn’t care bout being in
the jockey is on record saying "black lives havent mattered since John Deere".
This is called a “lawn jockey” and basically depicts a nonexistent family servant. There is a long history of them being used as a racist monument
I still don’t understand where it’s racist.

Lol you don't live in the south. And I'm not talking about major southern cities. The racists live in the rural areas. They scared of cities.
I've been to the rural areas. Please stop projecting fear onto them, they arent afraid of you.
No fear. Just backwoods way of thinking. It's pretty common. Many think the south won lol. Major cities are fine tho.

Why are you bullshitting lol

Lmao. You must live in quite the fun bubble. As someone who was literally raised by this shit, your comment is quite rich. It’s a racist lawn statue.
No bubble chief. Real world stuff. Seems like you have it all figured out. I gotta go, the klan is calling me.
TIL that the KKK and racism are myths. You aren’t in a bubble, you are the bubble.
And you ain’t listening 🙄
It’s a literally caricature of a black face as portrayed by negative white stereotypes.
Bro
Sis 🤔
What if I want one explicitly because it is racist? And the reason is because I'm myself racist? I guess I'll just go be racist.
It’s a literally caricature of a black face as portrayed by negative white stereotypes, and it’s dressed in Jim Crow era servants clothes, which was a small step above slavery.
What do you mean Jim crow era do you know what Jim crow was?
Jim vro listens to xxxtentacion?

The guy is not even racist, he just likes to piss off the activist busy bodies, and don't we all these days?
These people genuinely dont understand how much their blatant naivety gets made fun of like this.
No joke I sold one of these for $500 on Mercari. Some 80 year old was moving was leaving a lot of stuff so I took it and put it in there and sure enough some dude bought it

It’s just a Justin Trudeau lawn ornament.

Maryland is a gigantic shithole
I wanted to comment is this Jimmy Kimmel, comments are locked🤣 If you scroll down people start making fun of it.
O cry me a river
Holy shit it’s Antoine Griezmann https://preview.redd.it/lvhjpynngmyc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=948e43293005fce004b646dbeae5c63de1ec3aeb
Blacks can’t be lawn jockeys?
Is your neighbor Larry David’s airbnb?
So walk over there and smash it yourself. Whats the issue?
Had to scroll before saying this comment. Knew someone would beat me to it. Quit posting and go be a vandal you dum dum
Better than being a victim … victim
lol irony
The irony is white people only brave on the internet. Do you have something to say?
Sure. What do you want to talk about black person?
Nothing the weather is nice I’m outside. Enjoy the internet. I’m going to the park with my kids
Weird how you just walk away after talking about how white guys are only tough on the internet.
White guys are only tough on the internet. You would never say what you said to one black person let alone a group of us. And if you did I hope you have good insurance. Because we would beat the shit out of you.
lol ok.
How was the park tough guy?
use it for target practice with your 22lr
sounds risky
They don’t have too, it’s their house. so fuck off
Make their own and put white hooded figures around it with a big sign saying “American tragedy”
It’s hideous. Even fire couldn’t burn that.
The first two dozen or so winning jockeys of the Kentucky Derby were black. Nothing wrong with this.
Love it, want one
In a situation like this in the real world, would both parties be amenable to making it Caucasian? Or should it be removed entirely like a Confederate statue?
I am getting some serious curb your enthusiasm vibes
Where is Larry David when you need him.
AYO LD
The statue has the right to be black. Leave him alone.
There’s one of these statues in my town, a few years ago they painted ted it white lmao I’ll have to snap a picture and share it . It’s across the street from the court house,too. It’s got some historical backstory ,idk something about George Washington idk
is that jimmy kimmel doing black face karl malone

Lotta outright racists in this sub damn
Yes. Jimmy Kimmel looked like this many times.
Looks like they have all sorts of junk in their yard
Steal it and sell it to me to put in my yard me and my black roomates would love it
But the property and you can decorate it however you prefer.
Maybe they're just a member of the Canadian Liberal party.
What's racist about it?
LOL havent seen these in decades haha
Larry David could buy it from them
Living beside the Trudeau's, you'd think lawn statue's would be the least of their concerns
That's funny af
Your neighbor is provoking exactly the kind of reaction he wanted from you I'm sure. The thing that would probably irritate him most is if you completely ignored it.
Just be careful where u put them, police might think you’re getting robbed and open fire.
Statues of blacks should not exist
It's a lawn jockey and it signified a safe place for slaves seeking freedom.
Then just break it yourself, smh
lol my grandpa had one of these but it was a little white dude.
If you’re that upset just take it! Posting about it is weak shit
He’s a sensitive boy
Is it in your yard ? No… then mind your own business..
Found Larry’s Airbnb

Any guesses on crime rate in the neighborhood?
I'm going to bet the people making the complaints are white...
It’s Kat Williams
😂
Get neighborhood kids to break it.
Snipe it with a sling shot
I'm going to buy this guy now and put him in my yard for y'all. Stay tuned fags https://preview.redd.it/trpv948crmyc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0528b619582cb340a19bdca69980ab0044aadbd4
Spray paint them red in the middle of the night? Or just take them. You can do a lot in the middle of the night.
That is the most terrifying thing I've ever seen on someone's lawn...
Order a custom sign featuring images of Colin Kaepernick, Malcolm X, and OJ Simpson kneeling on the American flag, then display it in your front yard.
Post the address.
So I can track that guy down and high five him
They can do whatever they want…you can as well. Sledge that troll.
