    The church if the perpetually offended has a really really long history of major league asininity. Eventually there is only one rational response to people who are offended by very nearly every thing "eff off, twit."

    Ok. That's convinced me. White people are bad. Time to replace all the lights at cross walks with black people. Time is racist. Chess is racist. Checkers is racist. Math is racist.


    ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE BAD!!!!!

    /s

    God I'm so sick of people seeing racism in everything.

    The traffic signals I have seen for pedestrians are green and red.

    I can't agree. It gives some more power, but its a damn low bar.

    OK. We don't have to agree. That's the beauty of free speech.

    Are you kidding? When you complain about traffic lights you're looking to be offended when you worry about manhole covers and are offended by the spelling of women you are looking to be offended.

    November 4 is going to be absolutely priceless here, counting excuses why Biden lost, and so bigly.

    Don't you wish you were better at cut-and-paste insulting? Toss this stock phrase in here, that tired meme in there, and you think you made a point --- which was....?

    Name me one thing Trump has done since he's been President that is racist. Just one. Note: It has to actually be racist. Not perceived. Not someone's opinion. Not spin. But ACTUAL racist.

    Yes, I'm serious. This article is not about traffic lights. It's an example of how things look from a different perspective.

    The only solution is to use an animated penguin walking, part black, part while, when it's time to indicate that it is okay to cross.:roflol:

    You might be in for a wait on anyone finding a solid example. In the meantime, should we discuss the authoritarian fascism inherent in WALK and DON'T WALK? Ordering us around like, like...pedestrians?!?!?

    No, it is not the same everywhere. Where I live, and have seen all over the country, the little stick figure indicating it is OK to walk is white. It is white so it will be noticed. It has nothing to do with race or Trump or your inordinate fear of him living in the White House.
    I will give you the fact it is comments like yours that I read on forums that drive me closer to Trump just to counter the insanity that is now defining the left.

    The next thing you can get all spun up over and deride Trump for,

    "Why is the black jumper cable always negative?"

    Garrett Augustus Morgan, Sr. (March 4, 1877 – July 27, 1963) was an African-American inventor, businessman, and community leader. His most notable inventions were a three position traffic signal and a smoke hood (the first modern gas mask) notably used in a 1916 tunnel construction disaster rescue. Morgan also discovered and developed a chemical hair-processing and straightening solution.

    And why is the ground we walk on negative?

    In some circuits ground is green, but it wouldn't work on a car battery for those who are red/green colorblind.

    There is no question that Morgan Sr, was trying to get only "white" people run over while crossing an intersection because everybody knows blacks always run because they have just stolen something. LOL

    All this recent flap will go away but I find it hard to believe that some people are really that stupid.
    Remember the vagina vs. "front hole" issue put out by the alphabet "community" that came about a few years ago?

    ‘Front hole’? Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s ‘Safer Sex for Trans Bodies’ guide helpfully includes updated names for genitalia

    God grant me the strength to get through another day of their insanity.
    I fear I am about to become a day drinker.

    Appro,
    “It snowed last night...
    8:00 am: I made a snowman.
    8:10 - A feminist passed by and asked me why I didn't make a snow woman.
    8:15 - So, I made a snow woman.
    8:17 - My feminist neighbor complained about the snow woman's voluptuous chest saying it objectified snow women everywhere.
    8:20 - The gay couple living nearby threw a hissy fit and moaned it could have been two snow men instead.
    8:22 - The transgender man..women...person asked why I didn't just make one snow person with detachable parts.
    8:25 - The vegans at the end of the lane complained about the carrot nose, as veggies are food and not to decorate snow figures with.
    8:28 - I was being called a racist because the snow couple is white.
    8:31 - The middle eastern gent across the road demanded the snow woman be covered up .
    8:40 - The Police arrived saying someone had been offended.
    8:42 - The feminist neighbor complained again that the broomstick of the snow woman needed to be removed because it depicted women in a domestic role.
    8:43 - The council equality officer arrived and threatened me with eviction.
    8:45 - TV news crew from CBC showed up. I was asked if I know the difference between snowmen and snow-women? I replied "Snowballs" and am now called a sexist.
    9:00 - I was on the News as a suspected terrorist, racist, homophobe sensibility offender, bent on stirring up trouble during difficult weather.
    9:10 - I was asked if I have any accomplices. My children were taken by social services.
    9:29 - Far left protesters offended by everything marched down the street demanding for me to be arrested.

    By noon it all melted

    Moral:
    There is no moral to this story. It is what we have become, all because of snowflakes.”

    Oh the stupidity never ends:
    1. National parks are racist because mostly white people go to them (ABC News)
    2. Separate national anthem for black people followed by national anthem for everybody else (NFL)
    3. BLM Matters on every NBA court
    4. Twitter bans "blacklist" and man hours" on their platform (they are now hate speech)
    5. San Francisco Police ban mugshots because they are racist
    6. Liberal mob rips down statue of Frederick Douglass
    7. Washington Times calls for the abolition of the name "Washington"

    Look how much the progressives are doing to improve our society. They totally are not acting like a bunch of lunatics on a meth amphetamine binge....

    You said it well. It is not the blacks or other people of color, it is the"progressive snowflakes" that are being taught they should be hanging their head in shame because they were born "white".
    I have never heard the words color and racist so many times as in the last few years.
    Hopefully, everyone of all races and colors will come together and hand these people their collective asses come November.
