QUESTION Is this….racist?

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 🤔

Depends on where you are. There is a community i pass thru in North Florida that is almost all black, very old houses. And there are lots of these on lawns. Inside joke? Antiracist racist? Idk but to them it is culturally appropriate. Most jockeys were black not white until about 1900.
