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.”

Isn’t he the one that first started talking about packing the supreme court? He’s a destructionist.
Why do you think they call it blacktop.
Because concrete is white? But then, driving on blacktop is racist because cars are driving on them grinding them down. Only black folks can drive on blacktop roads.
Asphalt is black, and sections that are cement appear white. Cement is superior to asphalt. Blatant racism
I rest my case
Think like a retarded child, it helps you understand the liberal mind
This dirtbag is dangerous to our nation. He’s the one that started all the packing the Supreme Court nonsense.
He was a weak mayor so they promote him? Other than being gay, he offers nothing.
Inside Pete Buttigieg’s plan to overhaul the Supreme Court
That must mean all cars of a certain dark color are RASSIST!
And night...that’s RASSIST!
The possibilities are endless - everything is rassist unless it votes communist.
Yes, but the lines that direct you are “supremacist white”. Think about it.
Black cars look better in the shade.
Now roads, inanimate constructs used as a path of transportation, are racist.
Did the highway planner think “Let’s destroy a vibrant black neighborhood”. No, he chose the cheapest route. Could a person fifty years after the fact who thinks racism is the motive behind everything in this country think that racism was behind the choice? But of course! We’ll have to tear the racist highway down!
There is a serious competition among regressives who expands the racism label further...
Liberal commie/socialists must be having a contest amongst themselves to see who can spout the most outlandish horse shit.
“...packing the supreme court...”
Sounds like a health risk.
I am open to clarification on the matter, but no one will ask the right questions, the left has no interest in accountability, and the press considers it a duty and honor to sir up strife. All of this is the rotten fruit of a public education system that long ago abandoned civics and logic as primary to their purpose.
Someone that stupid should not be in government.
The fact that a shameless sodomite like him is in charge of anything is 100% proof that this nation is being Divinely Judged by The Sovereign God of the Universe.
Now Winston, you will soon aggree that 2 + 2 = 5, and thereafter learn to love Big Brother.
It is not racist to say the people who moved into these neighborhood basically ruined American cities. A drive through anyone one of these formally immigrant neighborhoods clearly shows the filth and crime that exists. It wasn't that way 50 and 60 years ago.
Black asphalt, white concrete, plain as day.
White Line Fever
Living next to a freeway or overpass is noisy. And usually means a lot of traffic if you live near an artery. Because of this, housing is cheaper.
But there’s nothing racist about personal choice of neighborhood. It is the individual’s own decision as to whether that person decides to live in town cheaply and where, and put up with the noise for convenience, or live rurally just as cheaply without the noise and a little more inconvenient to social services. (Which a person should not have to rely on for more than a few years at the most, unless aged or disabled, in which cases there are numerous rent subsidy programs to enable them to live just about anywhere.)
