If you deny that there is a racial element to hanging a representative symbol of a black guy by a rope over a tree, then you're either retarded (I mean actually retarded, not "retarded" in the colloquial sense) or lying to yourself. That said, do what you want, if you don't mind your neighbors thinking you're a racist douchebag. There's a such thing as free speech (which I am an unwavering proponent of), but there is no such thing as consequence-free speech.
