MOBILE COUNTY, Ala. (WKRG) — A billboard not far from one of Mobile’s busiest streets is gaining some traffic of its own.
The message on the sign reads, “It’s time to get the clowns out” above images of two Black clowns.
The message is from an unknown sender and it’s led to speculation.


quote:

“They trying to get the clowns out,” one man questioned. “Who the clown is?”

“I know I don’t like it,” one woman exclaimed.

Several people said they want the sign taken down, especially since no one truly knows what it means.

“I’d like to see it taken down,” one man said. “Don’t nobody know what it is or who put it up.”

ETA: Per Reddit, the opposite side of the billboard reads “Under Trump Alabama loses. Vote Democrat”.

My first thought was that those were local politicians that have been AI’d into clowns?

They want it down just because they don't know what it means? Dumbfricks.

Anything they don’t like, agree with, or understand automatically gets labeled as racist.

There’s been a history of one race making fun of another in the Mobile area for a while…

The people they interviewed on the local news who "wanted it taken down" were black. So this checks out

if it has to be explained to you, you probably aren't smart enough to understand the explanation either.

If you have to ask, then look in the mirror. There he is.
