Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg claimed in a recent interview that racism is “physically built” into parts of the U.S. highway system.
Responding to an allegation from theGrio White House correspondent April Ryan that the interstate system was “built on a racist system” meant “to keep certain groups in and certain groups out,” Buttigieg agreed, saying, “Yeah, often this wasn’t just an act of neglect. Often this was a conscious choice. There is racism physically built into some of our highways, and that’s why the jobs plan has specifically committed to reconnect some of the communities that were divided by these dollars.”
“Well, if you’re in Washington, I’m told that the history of that highway is one that was built at the expense of communities of color in the D.C. area,” Buttigieg continued, according theGrio. “There are stories, and I think Philadelphia and Pittsburgh [and] in New York, Robert Moses famously saw through the construction of a lot of highways.”

I saw video of this butt-**** riding his bike to work last week. Yes, he gets his four SUV escort to within about half a mile of his office, then dismounts and rides his bike the last leg (escorted of course). What a jerk.
Pinko Pete.
The Stupid really say stupid things
Oh, and he has also proposed the idea of a mileage tax.
“Pete Buttigieg”, the White Privileged son of a Commie Prof.
And people voted for this.
Buttplug has his brain up his.....take a guess....
Racial politics is America’s cancer
I have invented a device that removes racism from our infrastructure, maybe he could lease it,
Another grievance of how the “man”made it unfair .
Im really tired of the endless complaining and demands for money.
Being a pandering fool does not absolve one of their White
Fragility.
ButtEdge2Edge proves the case.
Between Clinton and Obama we had 16 years of Progressivism in the White House. Why was this not resolved? I don’t recall it even being mentioned. It’s almost like Pete is full of crap or something.
Pete. Stop, and just listen to yourself.
Does your remark make any sense whatsoever?
No, Pete. No it does not. Who are you trying to impress?
Obviously gotta get rid of all that Black asphalt
The way he talks and acts, this guy has got to be smoking some dynamite s***-and at taxpayer expense, too...
Opened up a box a corn flakes this morning, and sure enough, there was racism inside.
There was also racism hiding under my bed. It's everywhere.
Boo!
I guess what he is trying to say is that some decisions on where to build highways was decided, at least in part, based on the demographics of where people lived.
But what are we supposed to do about it now? Spend hundreds of billions to tear them down? That money could actually do a lot of real good for real people. So I’d say their decision to waste all that money to blow up highways is equally racist. And, meanwhile, people living in those areas will lose access to highways and spend more time in traffic and breathing exhaust in the streets.
Total Insanity Alert!
That’s RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enemies of the US must be laughing their heads off , they’ll just wait and walk in and take the US when these fools brings it to it’s knees
