Our Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg can’t tell us enough times how racist our highways are. Pete prefers bicycles (even if he has his bicycle dropped off at a spot near the White House so he can be photographed riding a bike to work there without working up a sweat).
And, of course, railroads, the subsidy-loving choice of central planners.
The last time Pete attacked highways as racist was in 2021.
US transport secretary Pete Buttigieg said highway designs in the country were “racist,” and claimed that the new infrastructure bill would help fix it. (snip)
This was in reference to his earlier stand that racism was “physically built” into highways.
“I’m still surprised that some people were surprised when I pointed to the fact that if a highway was built for the purpose of dividing a white and a black neighbourhood, or if an underpass was constructed such that a bus carrying mostly black and Puerto Rican kids to a beach — or that would have been — in New York was designed too low for it to pass by, that obviously reflects racism that went into those design choices,” Mr Buttigieg responded.

Highways must be racist because they don’t go directly to the best places to loot.
Is that why he was hated by blacks as mayor of South Bend? Ain’t Affirmative Action wonderful.
Theater of the absurd. It passes unnoticed in today’s media, and is so common there’s no longer any humor value. No one is laughing.
Black Face, Black Top. Coincidence - I think not
Highways were routed to minimize land acquisition costs.
When the highways were designed sixty to seventy years ago, blacks typically occupied only a small part of any city.
In 1940, the Bronx was 98.3% white according to Wikipedia.

Pete is reaching for anything that will make him popular among the homo lobby.
“The other side of the tracks” was once where the poor whites lived.
Guess who moved in!
Hiways are black. Oops, I mean African American. Isn’t that enough?
Maybe the white lines are the racist parts of highways.
Bootiejudge doesn't "sweat." He doesn't even "glow."
He "sparkles," "twinkles," and "glistens."
This kind of compulsive finger pointing is why he remains best known as Mayor Pete, even though he’s supposedly the Travel Czar. He’s a small minded man who is most comfortable focusing on small minded, peripheral assumptions.
This is what that old phrase “The Peter Principal” was talking about. Someone promoted well beyond their natural capacity for getting the job done.
VP Kammy is in the same leaky boat.
Is the old hershey highway racist too?
Thankfully this killed any future political career he might have dreamt up. Though I doubt a fag would ever be elected president even in America.
Pete is Mental like the luggage guy
Have you ever seen a white highway - concrete is grey with flecks of black - bearing the burdens carrying the product of white own factories to white purchasers - I think not. The whole system needs to be torn down until we look like a 3rd world country with non-racist dirt roads and white-owned Mercedeses sinking in the mud during rains.
“Maybe the white lines are the racist parts of highways.”
...of course. How foolish of me
Pete is an angry delusional liberal homosexual who sees racism everywhere, even where there isn’t any. He is a ,eating member of the “Perpetually Outraged” party
Libs flog the racism issue because they’re devoid of ideas and it helps them gain and retain power. And they’re smarter than the rest of us… just ask them; they’ll tell you. Yet you’d think that they’d be smart enough to realize that some applications of the racism label are just so palpably stupid that it doesn’t help them. I guess not, though
I’m sure he’s familiar with rest stops on those highways.
