Neighbors of a Greenfield family are questioning whether an outdoor landscape is Halloween fun or a racist decoration.A dark mannequin figure was hanging from a tree in front of the Greenfield home. Blacks living in the community has taken offense to the mannequin saying it is insensitive and has racial overtones.
The owner of the home has taken the mannequin down, however neighbors didn't see the mannequin racist.
"It didn’t really strike me as anything unusual. It just looked like part of the graveyard scene," neighbor Julie Salmeron said.
The owner claims she did not intend to offend anyone. She said the family hung the same mannequin last year for six weeks and received no complaints.
