Apparently people have to wait for a white man to cross the street. What is the next racist thing that liberals are going to cancel... Vanilla ice cream?

It seems like everything is about race now. Every single thing. I can't imagine that the average black person likes it or condones it, but maybe I am wrong.

They'll need to change it to a white background with a black figure superimposed.

Yet going back to the old white “walk” and orange “don’t walk” signals would be racist because it assumes everyone can read English. /sarc

You are just whitewashing and need to be blacklisted.

Is that picture indicating that a white man is running away from a black dude that obviously stole his luggage?

Read most of article linked. My god these people are just plain dumb.

A white figure in a "Walk Now" signal light on a crosswalk is racist? WTF???

So the yellow diagonal sign indicating the crosswalk, with BLACK figures crossing is OK I guess?

So fricking stupid, these people don't realize the colors, lights, and backgrounds chosen are for best VISIBILITY and SAFETY!

What we need is a dark brown stick figure to contrast against a black background. Genius idea.

And there you have it: The government-approved origins of the “little White men” telling us to cross the street at corners across New York. Thanks to help from the FHWA, I am now convinced that technology and necessity, rather than some anti-Black conspiracy, propelled the shift from verbal crosswalk cues to a lunar-white Walking Person. But my heart still sinks at the specter of teaching my sons to ask a White man for permission to do — well, anything. Because so much of the world already insists that we do.

If he was black, you wouldn't be able to see the symbol against the background.

Besides, I always thought it was a light green to contrast with the red Don't Walk symbol.

If we make the man green that implies that he is a draco reptilian that we get permission to cross from. That is too truthful for the draco reptilians that run the world.
