Our opinions on what the sign might have meant are largely irrelevant.
In the legal system, any ambiguity in interpretation must be interpreted in the direction of innocence of charges, while any prosecutor must show that she unambiguously violated some specific law.

Not insofar as we might be jurors, or jurors might agree with our position. I’d bet that less than 1 out of 20 would take your position on the matter.

Only “reasonable” doubt must be interpreted in favor of the Defendant. Given her statements of “I can do what I want”, and the fact that she put up the sign after a break in by a black person — I’d contend that your interpretation is not reasonable.
The sign was clearly an advertisement, not a “statement of fact”.

She did.
