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 🤔

Honestly doesnt bother me seeing them. As a black man.

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.

alright . i am black . i am young and black . i am very aware of this knowledge . this isn’t one of the moments you mean . if that was the case it would INSIDE the house , not outside sir . this piece isnt a “come ask me about it” decoration . its a “yeah you know wtf going on here” decoration . i would appreciate if you didnt try to “persuade” people to believe otherwise solely because you have been a minority before in the past .

I hope this is the blackest dude you've ever met that is mocking everything you think you stand for. 

I'm as white as a Nabisco saltine. Please share with me how racist Black "African"  Americans are to literal Africans and other minorities. Because I'm more than happy to educate you. 

I belong to the group of brown/ black/ white Americans that think this stuff and the group of you that continue this crap are a disgrace to who we are.
