Seen in St. Pete across from a church and day care....racist signs.

Signs in St. Pete

Passers-by are slapped with political overload when they hit a front yard just west of 63rd Street North.

"Vote Right" shouts one homemade sign in big red letters on a white background. "Vote White" is another, tacked high onto the trunk of a towering oak tree. A plywood cutout of a Black Sambo figure sits next to another tree, under a large sign that says, "Hasta La Vista Obama" and "What Abou Galveston." The underlying message of that sign was unclear.

Surrounding the home is a 6-foot privacy fence with a locked gate. Attempts to reach the homeowner were unsuccessful Monday morning. Across the street is a church, a day care center and a voting precinct, said one neighbor, who did not want to be identified.

The neighbor said the sign poster moved here two years ago from Texas and is pretty political compared with the rest of the working-class, predominantly white neighborhood.

The signs.





This is free speech. I thought I would say that. I know some of you will remind me quickly just as you did when I posted the video of the protestors and sirens so loud Biden could not be heard.

So I will say it first. It is free speech. Right across from a church and a day care and voting center.

4. Hard to believe.

Church, daycare, voting place....across the street.

5. This might seem like a silly question, but.....

Isn't it a little hypocritical for a racist to say "Vote WHITE" on one sign, and then speak Spanish on another? :shrug:

6. This is Florida. Things to do not have to make sense here.

Don't be so rational. :-)
