“Driving interstate highways through residential neighborhoods is a pretty sure way to create slums.

Not so-—see my Post #34.

Gee, I wonder how many black families were disrupted by the great Route 66 coming to an end due to the new interstate highways? Virtually none, but many thousands of white owned businesses were wiped out entirely and predominately white towns died out as well.
He had easy and quick access to the highway whereas the uppity rich white folk have to drive through stop light after stop light to get to it. Looking a gift horse in the mouth.
What’s best for the taxpayers is not prettying up that 1.2 miles of highway. What a waste. If he’s truly worried about the slums, then he should be in there working to get them out of the welfare/gang/baby mama cycle.
Has anyone refused to eat because roads went through minority neighborhoods? Has anybody lost any sleep by reason of road building in black neighborhoods? Now that I think about it I’ll bet no one lost sleep or a meal because of black slavery and post Civil War segregation.
DAT WAY -—>
Providing millions of dollars to relocate poor black families out of ghettoes discriminates against the underclass is bad, very bad.
She’ll settle yer hash!
Put ‘em on, Stoney.
Vonnegut was a time traveller. Had to be.
No, they just want to get paid; they are constantly trying to make the case for reparations. They better hurry; in a couple of decades there will be very few whites to cough up the money (and I don’t see Asians and Hispanics accepting a new “contraband tax”)...
The slums must be restored to their former condition!!
That’s right; this is the “case for reparations du jour”. Tomorrow it will be decades of “flesh-colored band-aids”...
Wow, just like Tornadoes target Trailer parks or is it that trailer parks are always situated in tornadic paths? Such contortions.
Oh, and who was in power when such measures were approved? Democrat Lyndon Johnson. He called his program the “Great Society.”
Once, while on a trip with two governors, Johnson reportedly made the following comment in explaining why the civil rights bill was so important to him. He said it was simple: "I'll have them niggras voting Democratic for two hundred years."
The quote is attributed to Lyndon Johnson by Ronald Kessler in his book "Inside the White House".
Inside the White House
The quote is also mentioned on Page 6 of "Can America Survive?" by Ben Stein, Phil DeMuth.
When is someone going to call this kind of crap out as what it really is? Stupid and racist. Which comes first I don’t know.
I lived in Detroit in the early “80’s, when Coleman Young
used the power of Eminent Domain to take homes away from the people in the I-94-Mount Elliott neighborhood for what became the GM Poletown factory. So, was Soulman Young a Racist?
This guy is obviously not old enough to have seen what REAL SLUMS looked like in the late 40’s / early 50’s. So much unpainted clapboard, they looked more like haphazard piles of weathered lumber than communities. Ike did a good thing for the US and for the blacks by routing the Interstates through the worst slum areas. Urban renewal FTW.
This clown hasn’t been on I-16 in Georgia or I-10 in North Florida I take it.
more subnormal victims.
LOL! Yup lots of low income along I-10 in North FL.
