Native American enthusiast Brian Connery paints over grinning face on his 10ft statue after villager complained of its ‘racist overtones’
pensioner repainted the face of a black figure on a Native American totem pole he had erected in his garden after a “woke neighbour” complained to police that it was racist.
Brian Connery, who is an enthusiast of Native American culture, installed the 10ft decorative wooden feature earlier this summer in front of his bungalow in Brantham, Suffolk.
However, a villager took exception to a carved wooden figure on the pole which depicted a grinning black man with bright white teeth, wearing a blue suit.
The anonymous local sparked an investigation into a potential hate crime by complaining to police that the figure had “racist overtones”.
Mr Connery has now painted the face white to avoid causing any further offence after discussions with police, even though he believes he has the support of his neighbours.
Police are understood to have ruled that they did not believe Mr Connery had committed a hate crime after visiting him and examining the totem pole...

Good grief
Time for his WHITE neighbors to notify the police that now they "feel offended!"
Regards,
It was probably white liberal neighbors that had reported him.
Is it wrong to hope his neighbors get robbed by black people?...
We have a somewhat similar situation in our neighborhood.
After the election, we had one house that kept of their Trump/Pence yard sign until about June of this year.
During that time a Retired Navy Veteran who is black moved in across the street, the two houses face each other.
In the first move, the black family put up a “Black National Flag” that is red, green, and black...then the black family put up a sign about being BLM supporters and erected a big banner in their front yard celebrating “Juneteenth Day”....
In the latest move, the white family has put up a Blue Flag with a single white star in the middle....I immediately recognized what the flag was....The flag is known as a “Bonnie Blue” flag which is a confederate battle flag.....look it up if you want to see what it looks like..
It will be interesting to see where this goes...
So now the police can arrest you for a “hate crime” for an object that someone calls racist. In other words, anything a White says or does, or doesn’t say or doesn’t do, can now be branded racist.
Better to have a silent battle of the flags than a street brawl, I guess, but this could be taken to ridiculous lengths. Will it end only when both yards are completely covered in flags?
If they put up a Black National Flag then the other neighbor should put up a confederate flag. Fair is fair.
This is what offends him. You know what offends me? A bunch of scumbags stealing an election to install a criminal with dementia as POTUS which directly results in the death of 13 hero US military veterans.
Well that was mighty white of them...
Seriously, it is up to the police? What did LeBron say about a policeman waking up one day and thinking?
He did. But fewer people recognize the Bonnie Blue Flag, so the backlash is less.
Yeah, I’m sure that repainted it all of his own volition.
Uh-huh.
/s
Glad the police don't have any real crime to worry about.
Some of the flags have been swapped in/out..
Right now the Black Family has the Black National Flag and a small BLM flag by their mailbox.
The White family as a big American Flag and a similar sized Bonnie Blue Confederate Flag...
Needless to say they aren’t inviting each other over for a beer and a football game.
The white guy will probably get screwed.
The world has gone mad. Idiocy rules the day
