    At first I thought this must be satire but Im not so sure.

    The "lunar white walking person" that could potentially tell his black sons when to cross the street is too much for the author to bear.

    Perhaps he needs his own black people cross walk, with shaft doing a pimp walk to let him know when to cross the street?

    When people that are looking to be offended are pandered to, you get more offenses.

    The real problem is the chip on the shoulder... why don't white people complain when they say white bread bad, brown bread good

    No, when people are trying to excuse trump's deplorable actions and character, you get more reductio ad absurdum.
    What else you got?

    I never heard of anyone referring to wheat bread as brown bread. Am I missing something here?

    Is Trump all you got? I heard one of his first act was an EO mandating that the guy on the "walk" symbol, be white!

    Looks a lot like pumpernickel bread which is German but sometimes they adulterate it with molasses so is squaw bread an adulteration of pumpernickel?

    Trump is to blame for everything that is bad and Obama is responsible for everything that is awesome.

    I could care less about squaw bread's name but "Russian" dark bread should be banned as a threat to national security. I do not allow anything named Russian in my house. I do not even allow my grandkids to go 'rushin' around the house when they stay here they need to just be 'runnin' around likeood American kids. LOL!

    PS I am serious nothing called Russian is eaten or drunk in my house.

    It's interchangeable from what I gather, though wheat is a specific, and brown includes pumpernickel and more.

    As for what's wrong with white bread, study the Ingredients labels on the national-brand breads. Bakery bread without preservatives is far healthier but goes moldy far faster.

    Solution to the 'problem'. In those areas that are majority black then simply change the white crosswalk traffic figure to a black one.

    The OP is nonsense. The traffic man *is* white, if the daughter is a toddler adding a component of color training makes sense. Unless he asked her if she meant a racial component, the dude is reaching for straws.

    No, capitulation to non sense, wont stop at a certain point. It's like establishing bad habits in a puppy.

    Think about the optics. A black figure on a black background, what could possibly go wrong?

    There is a segment of the population that wakes up in the morning, looks at the ceiling and says "why it gotta be white?"
