Anthony Foxx is a black man...Whoda thought?????
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.
Affirmative action at its finest!
