So Im at the crosswalk with a red hand sign, the light is GREEN.

so if I were to cross I would be crossing a green light (not alongside the green, perpendicular to it)

so this car stops on a GREEN light going straight. And Im waiting till he goes because the light is GREEN. And this idiot says its California you have the right of way.

since when do people stop going straight at GREEN lights?

That guy is definitely in the wrong.

If anything he's probably misconstruing the new law that legalizes jaywalking.

You have the right of way in those crosswalks without lights as far as I understand it.

If it was not at a light he may have a point depending on the area, but this just sounds like he's a dangerous idiot

Yeah he's an idiot. If it's a cross walk without a traffic signal, then yes, cars are supposed to stop for pedestrians. But the traffic signal gives cars the right of way. He risks being rear ended if he's stopping at green lights

A pedestrian in the road has right of way 100% of the time period. However, that dude is a moron as you were not in the road.

Nah. Traffic signals dictate right of way. If the light is red and there's a don't walk/do not cross signal for the pedestrians, then they do not have the right of way.

Obviously, if a car sees a pedestrian cross their path, they should attempt to give way, but they won't be cited in a situation where it wasn't reasonable to expect someone to suddenly cross their path.

In all states in the US that I am aware of pedestrians have right of way period. Just because the pedestrian cam potentially be doing something illegal doesn't change that.
