I don't see how saying there are lawn jockeys with white skin and lawn jockeys with black skin is racist.

But this is a killz thread, so it's probably not suppose to make any sense.

I don't know if racist, but it's sort of confusing.

Do they have one white one and a bunch of blackface ones, or are they saying they will paint the one white one in blackface, upon request?

In any "skin tone" those things are T.A.C.K.Y!

My FIL has one, black face, in his front yard. It was kind of old and pretty beat up. He gets a note in his mailbox that says he needs to get rid of it that it is racist. Being the old school, self made man he is, he says frick em and repaints it so it now stands out even more.

He is 82 years old,great shape, great pension and still works part time at the church. He is known to partake in a little reefer from time to time as well. Oh yeah, he has a 30 something sloot that he gives some of his pain meds to for hummers when the mood strikes him.

One of the original ballers.

I don't know.

But the "Little Black Sambo" statue my grandparents had in their backyard was overtly racist.

You need this to go with your Confederate Flag.

This is an original, real cast iron and not a reproduction out of concrete or such. Unfortunately his hat has been lost, but I'm looking for another suitable hat.

I'm asking for $295 cash, so please don't email me and ask how much I'm asking. If you want to make an offer, please feel free to send me your offer. I'll review it and let you know what I'll do by return email. Put your city in the subject line . If you would like to talk to me, please send me your phone number and tell me when you want me to call.

I'm not sure what the scam is, but I do get a lot of strange email requests that I don't answer. so just be real and ask normal questions if you have any.
