This, of course, is Backes' nifty demonstration of his theory that there was another black man on the sidewalk waving. It looks like he merely applied the turquoise coloring around what he believes is the waving hand. 

But, I have a question for Backelangelo: If that's the palm of his hand waving, why is it so dark? You see, the palms of the hands of black people (whether they are African-American, African-British, or whatever) are white. The same is true of the soles of their feet. That is, they are about as white as white people's. 

Now, in your picture there, it's got to be showing at least some of his palm, doesn't it? The way you've got the thumb positioned, it has to. So, according to you, the "color" of his shirt, and of his black skin, and of his white palm were all the same, or at least, they were all reproduced the same in the photograph, so that there no distinction at all between them. It's all just one continuous mass of color from the fabric to the black skin to the white skin. You want to explain that?
