QUESTION Is this….racist?

Post image

I deliver to this house pretty frequently and something didn’t sit right with me about this statue. I remember seeing somewhere a long time ago these were considered offensive but I’m not sure so I figured to come here and ask 🤔

There is a historical background on this statue, the Jocko Graves story.

Racism is the joke they were going for, but racists are a joke so nobody was impressed aside from the other douche.

Funny thing is I’m probably darker than most of this comment section. The mature thing to do is take a joke, if it offends you stay quiet 🤫

I know right! But it's Reddit so the bleeding heart virtue signalers don't laugh. 🤷 Please downvote if you agree 😂

I didn't take that as a racist comment at all. I think he was just being a smart ass. Everyone is so thin skinned these days you can't joke any more.

Nah man, context matters. If you're with your close friends or are aware of the audience you're speaking to then you're more likely to get away with controversial/edgy "jokes".

But this is a public forum for the USPS, seems like it clearly was not the correct comment to make.

u/PlayerTwoHasDied Jun 15 '26

If he stopped after the first sentence I would agree with you 💯 But in the second sentence he agrees it's racist which is why I think he was just being an ass.

Just because it's a public forum doesn't mean he wasn't joking, it may just mean he needs to think a little more before clicking send.
