The MTA says it is going to "modify" tiles in a Manhattan subway station that people have complained look like Confederate Flags.
The pattern of tiles have been in the Times Square station for almost 100 years. The architects are said to have installed them to pay homage to the Southern roots of former New York Times newspaper head Adolph S. Ochs.
The MTA has claimed the tiles actually are meant to honor Times Square’s nickname as the "Crossroads of the World" and are not Confederate Flags.

...in 2017 began the War of the Sky when a white cloud above New York, to the horror of local white, college students, appropriated the stereotypical shape of an underprivileged, African-American woman. The war ended abruptly a few months later, after a local, black entrepeneur known only as "Dey B. Trippin" sold the college students a set of
Aerial De-Privilegizers , known historically as trebuchets.
It is unknown how many progressives were launched at the sky at the time, but historical sources seem to indicate that the sky wept on day 21, prompting the progressive warriors to declare that the sky had broken down in tears and accepted its hateful portrayal of underprivileged minorities. Ceasefire followed on day 22.
Then by day 27, mayhem and bloodlust ensued when progressive shamans declared that the Sky had summoned to the heavens, a black cloud slave being whipped by a little white Peter Dinklage-looking cloud. Brief confusion followed when the Sky showed the black cloud being first saved, then whipped by an army of white college clouds.
By day 35, the local black community reported to CNN that there hadn't been any large cloud formations in the sky for over a month. By day 36 the last progressive warrior, maddened by the lack of progress in the war on Sky, had slit his own throat, assured that his sacrificial blood would heal the local black community.
Fame is not flattery. Respect is not agreement.
