Did someone just leave a whip outside my house/BLM sign?
- Thread starter Bob White

This is absolutely the kind of poorly constructed "message" a racist would send to somebody. They can't even draw a fucking swastika correctly what makes you think they're going to care about the specific kind of whip they leave?
Also who leaves a whip?

Was heading out this morning and saw this in our driveway.
I'd say I'm looking too much into this but... who the fuck drops a random whip looking thing into someone else's driveway? I legit don't know what it is? Is it a horse whip? Like, what in the fucking hell? Should... I call the cops?
Even if just some kids fucking around I'm fucking pissed as hell at this shit.
Seems super suspect.
Is it even possible for something to accidentally fall into your driveway? Like how close to the road was it?

Seems kinda high quality. Not sure though since I know fuck all about this stuff. A teacher friend of mine sent the pics to his school's equality specialist, and now this specialist person wants to also post the pics to social media.
lol, well shit, guess people are also taking this as a "nope, that's a racists ass whip" like I am.
Yeah, this is no laughing matter. Imagine if someone posted "just found a noose outside" and it was made of a sheet instead of a rope, it would still be a fucking noose.
Oh it definitely the message they were trying to get across. Share it on social media/news if your are inclined to do so, but then if it's worth something...sell it? No reason to give it back to the racists that left it.
Also stay safe as these people are clearly fucked.
I'd totally be in the front yard trying to whip stuff in the shortest tightest shorts.
If horses aren't common on your street, its a message

As others have already suggested, get a camera setup ASAP. I just find it impossible that someone would just mistakenly drop a whip. Be safe.
How close to the road was it? It is possible it fell off a passing horse trailer. I've seen plenty of things accidentally left on the running boards...
May as well call the cops and report it. Best case it gets reported, they do nothing, and nothing ever happens.
Worse case if there is further harassment its documented, or they start to investigate. And if the cops are doing nothing regarding that report, they are putting themselves in trouble. I'd also contact the local paper too.

I guess so. Makes sense.
But where the fuck do you even buy a whip these days? Seems a noose / rope would be more straightforward... this is weird.
Racism, never ceases to amaze.
Who has time to do punk shit like this? Just be racist all by yourself. Racists are scum but they are also strange with their obsession, just do you.
Exactly what I was thinking. They gave you something to slap their face from a distance, not a smart move.

OK, filed a police report and felt like an idiot doing so. A cop car is coming within the hour they said to look around. Not really trying to be on the radar of local law enforcement but at least I have a record of this just in case.
Probably not going to call any newspaper. I think that's a little too much attention.

OP that seems very odd that someone just drops off an whip at your yard like that. That's not a coincidence. That shit was intentional and racially motivated. You should probably get the authorities involved and invest in home protection.
Rule of thumb; it's generally never a good idea to call the cops.
I agree. I love posting on this board. But cmon! In 2020, who in the world would leave an freaking whip in front someone's Black Lives Matter sign as an honest mistake? They seen Roots, they know the racist history of nooses and Whips.
You did right by calling the cops. Now there's an paper trail if this escalates.
And then use it as part of your Halloween costume. Most Castlevania characters use whips.
The cops took the whip? Now what are you supposed to do, when a problem comes along? 🤷‍♂️
...but seriously, get a doorbell camera. They are cheap, and are useful.

Yeah that's a good way to get some racist dumbass throw a brick through your window at night.
