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.

Let’s just say, the boy has “issues”. Lots of “issues”.
Bridges were built 30, 40, 50, even 60 and 70 years ago. Buses have gotten taller, and longer (accordion buses, for example), just in the last 20 years.
The bureaucrats run the department. Buttigieg doesn’t actually know anything or do anything. Racist roads is his go-to answer for everything. Granholm’s in the same situation and just laughs questions away. The other Cabinet members mostly don’t get interviewed.
When Interstate 84 was built in Hartford, Mrs Fox want the highway built so people can exit and get to her store, G.FOX. It’s a known fact...the Italians were hit hard.
Democrats don’t have good answers only excuses use the racist gig to move along.
Black tops, white and yellow lines, brown oil slicks, but nothing red on major highways. Mainly, highways favor little grey space aliens.
Pete prefers bicycles without seats.
Yes, that one is BROWN.
