To: left that other site
In my kitchen, I have a collection of several glass figurines. They are of human shape and are also functional. I have a cookie jar, salt and pepper shakers, sugar bowl, butter dish, and several others.

They have the likeness of fat negro ladies dressed in old timey red and white dresses and scarves on their heads. Some of them are green and white.

I call it my plantation and the fine ladies I call my "mammies." In the midst of my plantation, I have a framed picture of a drawing of a little negro boy in overalls with no shoes, running. The caption reads, "I'se a comin' mammy.I'se a comin"

Is that racist?

How long before the left goes on a Taliban-like rampage to destroy all art work that depicts black people? “The Gulf Stream” by Winslow Homer comes immediately to mind.

Some would say, “Absolutely!”.

But, if you are an aficionado of Antiques Roadshow or other Antique and Americana “Pickers” shows, you will soon learn that your canister set is an item that is characterized in the antique market as “negritude”, and is rapidly gaining in popularity and market value.

The largest consumers of this particular kind of American Folk Art are wealthy, upper-middle-class Black Americans.

It would seem that you might have an item of value there, FRiend! :-)

And, of course, to the leftist SJW, your figurines are RACISS, and therefore, so are YOU! /s

I used to collect old Christmas postcards. One I found said: “Do I wish you a Merry Christmas?” and below that was another caption that said: “Do a nigger love watermelon?” along with a drawing of a black man eating watermelon. I have no idea what year it was printed, or where it was printed. And for the life of me, I can’t remember what happened to it.
