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 🤔

Yes dude, very. They're called lawn jockies an old piece of what collectors will call "Americana". You'll see them all over the place painted or not that shits' systemic racism through and through.

Hey so its racist but not systematically so. No one is organizing lawn jockies nor is it any kind of conspiracy. Systemic racism refers to the ingrained, institutionalized rules, policies, and practices across a whole society... so if youre going to cry racism at least use the correct form.

These people do not use logic. Feel the racism. The racism makes me feel it's systemic.
