Speaking to TheGrio, Buttigieg argued that some highways and bridges across several cities were designed to divide communities by race.

And who decided to put those racist highways where they are? The Federal government.

Actually, the cities were mostly WHITE when the Interstate System was designed. And by the way, the reason it could even be funded federally was because it was classified as a national defense priority for evacuating cities in the event of a pending nuclear war (back then, the feds had to actually justify spending money domestically), and because of that purpose, it HAD to go into the cities and the (then) white neighborhoods.

It was not the fault of the designers that the cities turned diverse, nor was it RACISM.

Actually, our bridges, railways and highways systems broke up racial enclaves. See, highways were built where real estate was cheap. That usually meant poor neighborhoods, which were often dominated by racial minorities. So the bad news was that communities were often split in two. But the good news is that the border between racial groups is almost always IN BETWEEN these divisions, and if you want cheap commercial real estate with access to wealthier/white clientele, you have to locate it nearer the poorer/minority homes.

I know the history of Hartford, CT.

When the highways were built they cut through Jewish areas of the city.

Then the blacks rioted and the Jews had to flee for their lives.

Now the highways cut through black areas of the city.

Hey, according to the liberals, progressives, socialist, democrats, trees, mountains, highways and other inanimate objects can be racist. And facist too.

Who knew?

Systemic Racism is now part of the Left's narrative.

Most people on the Left don't know why it's there but it sounds good when it's used as a virtue signal.

But the hardcore communists on the Left know why it's there. It's there to separate the country into two groups, "oppressed" and "oppressors."

Once most people are convinced that our system of government is oppressive to minorities, there won't be much resistance to getting rid of it in favor of a system of equal outcomes...communism.

Anyone not now finally realize why you clamp down on perversion instead of normalizing and encouraging it?

Don't let the following Free Body Diagram fool you. Horizontal beams, whether made of steel or wood, are racist because nooses can be hung from them. Statics is pure racism.

Is Mayor Pete trying to prove himself even daffier than that old geezer Joe Stolen in the Oval Office?

When is the press and media in country going to officially declare that the Harris/Biden regime has jumped the shark?

The inner cities were already plenty heavily minority by the 1950s. But the interstates did help the less affluent move to the suburbs AND still work in the cities.

From what little I see, Pete Buttboy only qualified for a post in the Cabinet because he’s as queer as a 3 dollar bill.

Buttigieg is a few cards short of a deck...

The biggest racism in the country is democrats thinking blacks are too stupid to secure an ID to vote...

That’s soooooooo insulting to black citizens.

No, Peter Buttjiggity, you are projecting again.

There is racism physically built into the Democrat Party.

It is deep-seated and has been passed on for generations, with history reaching a century and a half back to Confederate then KKK roots.

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg certainly wasn't hired for his skill and experience in Transportation. At best he can parrot a Socialist agenda for his handlers.

I see that racist Pete Buttigieg didn't change the name of Jefferson Boulevard when he was the mayor of South Bend.

Everything and everybody that disagrees with the Democrat narrative is racist.
