100%... Trump will use the new and improved RAT-B-Gone
Isn’t there a single person this racist president appointed who isn’t a racist?
The Think Progress article cited the efforts by the city of St. Louis in the early 1980s to expand the runway network for Lambert International Airport and claimed officials used “arm-twisting” to buy out the middle class black homeowners that resided in Kinloch, Mo., where the new roads were constructed.
The article said the population of that town dropped from 4,000 to less than 300.
Race had nothing to do with it; it was being next to an airpot. The middle class white homeowners to the west of the airport in Bridgeton, MO, had the same thing happen to them between 1995 and 2005. And it wasn’t just arm-twisting. The airport took them to court to force them out. As a result, the population of Bridgeton has dropped from 17,800 to 11,800.
Yes, Truman’s urban renewal program did more to distroy black neighborhoods than the interstate highway program did.
Every government agency of consequence has to take civil rights law into account. The essence of the core civil rights law — the federal civil rights act — is that it provides a way to force local and state governments to follow the Bill of Rights. In my experience, governments frequently find that a great bother.
Johnson was notorious for his use of the n-word. He cared for little but money, power, and fame.
Johnson was our most corrupt and pathological President. To be the object of his attentions rarely ended well.
Racist plots everywhere you look......
I bet if Mr. Foxx found out an Interstate was going near his house, the “For Sale” sign would be up faster than you could say, “Jack Robinson.”
I have yet to read the entire post, but I assumed he/she/it meant that the chosen location for new highways or freeways tend to impact "black" neighborhoods more than any "other" types.
It is more certainly the race card because the subculture is unable to understand that simple economics dictates that a chosen route through newer high value neighborhoods or commercial clusters would make most transportation projects prohibitively expensive.
But what the heck, the race card up to now has been a successful argument in response to every evil in the protected dysfunctional subculture.
Yes, he is a black man....
If you actually work in the private sector and paid net income as well as property taxes, you might view that as the rational choice.
Affirmative action at its finest!
If you look at a map of Northern state parkway on Long Island you will see it takes an abrupt chicane in Westbury. Robert mosses found the land too expensive the opposition to great and he curved the roadway to avoid the neighborhood. Ironically Southern state divided the driveway of a mansion bethpage.
Proof’s in the pudding...Eisenhower got the idea from the Nazis. Black people need to boycott the interstate highway system, preferably before rush hour this morning.
Yeah...He is a part of Obama’s “diverse” appointments...LOL
