C’mon man. Everybody has to hate those racist roads.
What makes this doubly galling is having to endure the woke “anti-racist” rhetoric.
The road projects they are talking about fixing are the ‘Great Society’ urban renewal projects that were begun by the left in the 1960s and funding into the 1970s. The roads were just part of it. They went into nearly every major city in the nation, destroyed working class neighborhoods full of small single family housing, owned by hard-working individual famalies.
In their place, leftists put up high density government housing projects that became centers of poverty, crime and gang violence. In many cases, intact families did not qualify for low-income housing, so young mothers were prevented from marrying their boyfriends, resulting in generations of fatherless children.
It is actually a good idea to build walkable pathways and roads that connect neighborhoods around interstate highways, but rather than mouthing pious anti-racist rhetoric, be honest and admit:
* This is trying to undo a small amount of the damage caused by leftist federal spending programs from the 1960s and 70s.
* It’s going to take much more societal effort than building a few roads and pathways, to begin repair the damage that leftist federal programs have inflicted on the working class and black families.
Buttjuice is stunning and brave
There is racism on America’s roads. Most of them are black.
