If the public, especially an African American can see this sign from the road or sidewalk, then it should be in violation of the civil rights laws regarding such signs that have discriminating words writen upon them.
So you would violate my civil rights by not letting me display my sign on my property.
Because someone might walk by; see it, and become offended?
I wouldn't, but the government in concerns of civil rights in this country sure would, and I can't say as I much would blame them on this issue, so if they were to ask someone to place the sign where it wouldnot be offensive to black people, just encase people like that might walk by and see it, I could understand that situation totally.
Now, would you be allowed to place a cross with a white robe draped upon it on your property, that would have carved into it KKK set in your front yard, and this without any up roar by the public in a majority being caused, and/or you being found in violation of the civil rights laws in this nation if you were to try that ?
These two extreme things mentioned, are related to or do associate and/or symbolize with "lynchings, killings, extreme racism" and so on and so forth, that is found with a direct message to be given off by these things mentioned. Now the Rebel flag is different, because it takes on other meanings like nascar/the south, being a cotton picking redneck or country boy, where as these things have no racism attached to it like it once was in the old days, and for which are things that are no longer associated with racism as being held with the fliers of that flag in many cases in which we see now these days, but the other things mentioned can't be mis-construed or spun into having any other meaning but racism, not unless you literally change the words upon them in which ain't happening is it?
Now school me as to why a sign like this should be allowd to be tacked up in plain sight or view of the public, even if it is on private property? Hey I'm learning here, so don't make me feel bad about learning, rather just help me understand better is all I am saying. If I'm wrong then I apologize!
