Well it depends on who is looking at them. Also, it depends on how those viewing feel about how one uses his own property. I'm not crazy about these signs but I sure don't think anybody has a right to force the man to take them down.

Unless I'm missing a sign, I don't see anything racist about those signs. I think that it is very sad and telling of our media that the author mentions "Racism" in the title, yet, there is no explanation of how the signs are racist in the write-up. Nor any visual proof.

I see nothing about those signs shown that would be regarded as racist.

Why is it racist? Because there's a person of color in it?

No it's not racist.

I wonder why so many of those folks who were questioned thought these things were racist. Is it kind of like a white man not voting for Obama being racist?

The first rule of liberalism...when you can't argue with a message you don't like, toss the race card. Sad and pathetic.

Not racist.
But while I got a chuckle out of it,
I wouldn't be too pleased if my neighbor
started erecting billboards on their lawn.

Now... had there been a noose or a banana peel somewhere in the pictures it would be a different story.
