Why Black people are disproportionately dying in traffic accidents
quote:
“Black people tend to be overrepresented as walkers in this country,” Garrick said. “This is not by choice. In many cases, Black folks cannot afford motor vehicles. And people that walk in this country tend to experience a much, much higher rate of traffic fatality.
quote:
He said there are three major reasons Black people bear the brunt of roadway injuries: infrastructure, design and racism. Predominantly Black neighborhoods are less likely to have crosswalks, warning signs and other safety mechanisms,
Here is the deal...and I have argued this many times before... only a pedestrian has an almost 100 percent chance to protect themselves from an accident vs a car. Just look and make sure it is safe to cross. Period. Pretty easy.
Oh well...muh racism again.

Maybe if some of them didn't lean the driver's seat back at a 170 degree angle

Tell them to stop walking in the street with their back to the flow of traffic expecting everyone to swerve around them. That would fix the problem.

B.S. i have seen some of the nicest Caddies on 30" rims in front of some of the shittiest ghetto shacks.

Because city crews get shot trying to paint them, or refuse to go into the area at all.

warning signs and other safety mechanisms
Ignored or vandalized in nearly every inner city in America.

Speaking of black Americans dying in traffic accidents, I’ve noticed some ballsy driving habits of black Americans lately. It seems a red light is a mere suggestion to look both ways or not and proceed. I’ve seen a lot of people taking the yellow light through the red on an intersection but now it’s not really that uncommon when you’re in the inner city of KC to have a brother pull up on a red light, look both ways and proceed.

I heard Germans are dying in traffic too!

Your reply would be funny if a black man didn't invent traffic lights.
Posted on 6/26/21 at 10:35 pm to dafif
So in order to achieve equity then white people need to start dying more in traffic accidents!

It's like the media has a new game they play amongst themselves. Pick a subject... then see if you can tie it to race.

Except a black guy didn't invent traffic lights. Garrett invented a T shaped automated light system nit the first automated traffic light system.

That seems like the most racist thing in this article....

I got links too. Garrett Morgan invented and patented the traffic light and gas mask.

The first automated traffic system was shite and caused alot of wrecks because it didn't have 3 signals. The infamous Yellow signal that we still use today is a black mans invention. As well as many other things

He got a patent on a T shaped traffic signal ,not inventing the 3 current color signals nor the myriad configurations used. Also the Brits have something to say about the gas mask.

Really?

Then in 1920, William Potts, a Detroit police officer, developed several automatic traffic light systems, including the first three-color signal, which added a yellow "caution" light.

Yes really there are alot of things invented by blacks that are still used today. But let me guess, white man created everything right?
"As the story goes, when Morgan witnessed an especially spectacular accident at an ostensibly regulated corner, he had an idea: If he designed an automated signal with an interim “warning” position—the ancestor of today’s yellow light—drivers would have time to clear the intersection before crossing traffic entered it."

Well according to you a black guy invented everything about the traffic lights and gas mask which as a simple search showed, not true. Its didn't mean Garret didn't contribute or invent a version which you try pass off as being the inventor of an entire system.
