Is this racist

[anobium]

Trying to sell various items on behalf of my wife's sister, but I'm not sure if this is classed as racist and if it will be accepted on eBay. Personally I think it's a nice piece but! What do you think

 

[Mottie]

Why would that be racist?

 

[anobium]

Just wait, I bet somebody disagrees with you.
I don't think it is, but a few people I know have said it is.

Creepy as hell with a good chance of springing to life and murdering you while you sleep. But not racist.

Mrs Ten Names will be along in the morning to give her verdict. She'll probably talk you into burning it.

depends if you think he is nicking it or playing it!

Obviously he is playing it

it looks like it is standing on a table so I'm thinking 3 foot tall? is it heavy?, any writing on the base?
tremendous piece - i am thinking that could be worth serious money - don't bung it on ebay without first trying to get it valued.

No writing on baseand not overly heavy. 72 cm high and double bass seems to be wood. Rest some hollow material. Thanks for your comments. Any offer greatfully received

If it were a "White" person playing the bass would "Black" people find it racist? Or is Racism a hang up of the ignorance of White people.

Just whack it on Ebay.

I think the black statuettes proffering a tray, where you might leave your car keys or whatever, are not really suitable in this day and age, but the 'jazz musicians' are more of a classic and doesn't portray the subject as being subservient in any way. I'm no expert on the matter but that really does look like a fine example, I'd be tempted to have a proper valuation.
