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.
He and his son should ignore cross walk signs as a form of protest. I would fully suport them and would even bring a shovel to help clean up should something unfortunate happen

Sigh.
Yesterday, I saw a no-s#!t article about how soap was racist.
Soap.
I swear to the Lord God above, I think we've entered an era that even Orwell would find hard to believe.

It's ok to be white.

There's no fricking way you read that article. It begins as ridiculous a premise as there is - the writer's friend tells her toddler to wait for the "little white man" to cross the street.
Then he goes to do research over traffic signals, how it used to be (don't) walk, then the FHWA changed the words to symbols due the increasing global population. Then he researched the colors and the scientific research is that the "white" color of the man, as the writer states, is a lunar brightness to mimic the moon because we as humans are predisposed to being more sensitive to that color.
In the end, yes the article is nonsense, as is the entire premise. But no, he isn't saying it's racist nor is he arguing to change the color.

My brain and eyes have full-blown COVID-19 after just perusing the nonsense in that article...

If I’m his editor, I’m seriously questioning his judgement and use of time. He went through all that bullshite about racism only to conclude the powers that be chose that color scheme because it’s the easiest for the eyes to see and doesn’t entail words that people who don’t speak English may not understand. Imagine that.

I believe that there is a little black Man that comes on right before the little white man . Those that require crossing the street upon the little black mans not for the little white man should feel free to cross then !

I mean, I'm a hopeful person and I have hope in humanity so at this point all I really want to assume is that we are being trolled for yucks.
I feel like the mainstream media felt threatened by The Onion and the Babylon bee

It certainly bothered me — so much so that I began to dig deep into my fortysomething consciousness to try and remember if I was raised asking a little White guy to let me cross the street.
If you're that much of a p*ssy to be bothered by this... the problem lies with YOU. And it's NOT the job of the rest of the world to bend to your illogiical, irrational, and weak arse.

The author of that article is a moron.
The little figure on the street crossing light is white, not White. He is white because the color is highly-visible and because a significant percentage of the population is color-blind (medically, if not ideologically).
Stupid people annoy me.

Sorry, but there are intersections and crossings in Chicago and NYC that need a black figure with a gun in his hands.

Everytime I worry about Trump losing, the liberals save the day with more of their "woke" bullshite.
Their idiocy will keep us in this thing.

well-meaning, #BLM-marching parents — are teaching their children to ask “little White men” for permission to cross the street?
