Comments: These are popping up in a town that is 99%+ white and affluent.

A variation of that sign is also sprouting out of yards in the predominately white city I live. Where people purchase $350 - $500K homes just to tear them down and put up another $1,000K home. When I see them, I think here lives another virtue signaling dumbass. Steer clear.

I see that very sign a lot. We always hoot at it as we go by. As if!

Burn it. Burn it with fire.

I call them virtue signaling signs. Some yards have more than one (Black Lives Matter, etc). Sort of like "flairs" in the movie Office Space.

That sign means "I'm Better Than You."

Far from being an anomaly, upper-middle neighborhoods are the only place that sign and its attendant bumperstickers are to be found. Damn sure never see one in a mixed neighborhood in Oakland.

That sign is here. One neighbor has two for her corner lot. I didn't realize it was more than a local thing. Gosh, I should get out more. Or less.

We've lived here for two years and I've never seen that neighbor. She (I've been told an elderly lady lives there) also has a cautionary slow down sign. I'm not sure which is more annoying. She also has two German Sherpards who bark at you like they want to tear you apart. Sometimes they escape the yard, outside the fence they are silent and will tuck tail and scamper back on command. Weird.

The mutts are pampered, insecure, safe in their yard cage. Inquisitive beings, when they leave their security they are cautious, scared of everything. Threatened, they bolt for security, probably barking over their shoulders. Cornered they will bite. Approached subtly they will show their bellies, begging for a new master that is dominant, in charge.

Gun Free Zone signs are invitations to killers.
Black Lives Matter signs are invitations to negro's.
They don't really want either.
The owners are ignorant.

Idiots. I haven't seen any of these in my neighborhood, I'm happy to say. Where I live is relatively affluent, but most of us, even those who migrated from NY/NJ/New England, seem to have lived lives in the real world. Having avoided the conceits that come from spending too much time in academia, "social welfare" agencies, or Silly-con Valley, there is little patience among us for this self-loathing nonsense.
