yard jockey statue

yard jockey statue
Should I remove the lawn jockey?

It is kind of an old Southern tradition to have a small cement statue of a jockey in the front yard holding a fake lantern. Mine just happens to have a red coat and the face is painted a dark shade of brown. My wife and I sit on the porch drinking cold beer every Sunday and watch Silas mow the yard while dripping in sweat. He frowns each time he passes the lawn jockey. Is he nuts or something or should I just remove the little statue and forget about his sulking anger?

next time he comes by, whip the statue and yell

‘your name is Toby! Say it!’

black lawn jockey, racists? and other random things
