Systemically Racist Crosswalks
So now crosswalks are systemically racist.
From Kenneth Walsh:
Boy
we gotta lot of work to do. Secretary of Transportation Buttigeig is
concerned that the risks of crossing the street are unequally
distributed accross ethnic and racial groups. He says he knows how to
fix this. What we need is more "equitable streets."
"These disparities are awful, but
we know how to fix them. It's time to reverse these patterns of
exclusion and invest in safer, equitable streets.

Is he referring to the fact that in inner cities, blacks tend to be more careless about crossing streets in the face of oncoming traffic? I've seen this happen, but never considered it racist, I just thought it was stupid behavior. Thank you, Mayor Petesey, for raising my consciousness... NOT!
