I have lived in the south for 20 years and have never seen any of those things. The last time I saw them was in the yards of people who were born in the last century, (or maybe the century before that) and that was in the midwest. Update your stereotypes.
You rarely see a black lawn jockey anymore but if you travel some of the backroads of Southern America and anyplace that is known for raising horses you may still run across one. They really weren't considered so much as racist but a symbol of wealth. I use to collect a lot of black history items when I had a space in a flea market. I still have a couple boxes of black memorabilia. Only have a couple good pieces left. In fact one piece I had was an original Aunt Jemima tin sign in which I gave away to a black air condition man who admired it. You use too be able to go to the foundries or statuary sites and find some interesting black pieces. I was in Mesa, Az a couple years ago and their are different metal pieces throughout downtown and a couple of them are of blacks in everyday poses. Very nice artwork. I was sort of disheartened when it was decided to remove Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben from the grocery shelfs. They were icons of staples in our house. Other different brands didn't stand a chance. Not everything has to be racist. When I see the "woke" going on now I wonder how much history people know. The three dominant countries that came to the Americas , England, France and Spain and minor ones were all subjects of rulers that endorsed the ownership of slaves.
