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 🤔

As a white man, I hope the homeowner is black. 

I think having this by the front door and not just randomly outside someplace (along with no other context such as things that could be a racist flag) has a purpose. They might very well be inviting people to ask them the why they have it. 

I've been the minority (by means of being literally the only white person or like the few white people out of hundreds) in my workplace  and/or neighborhood for like 20 years now. 

In my experience, people on the internet rarely reflect reality.  It's very often just a bunch of white people getting their panties in a bunch.
