While ignoring a cornucopia of crises in his two-plus years as Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg has found a supposed crisis that he will address, and it sounds a lot like his previously trotted-out theory that bridges are a tool of racism.
Speaking with Al Sharpton on MSNBC, Buttigieg declared "we've got a crisis when it comes to roadway fatalities in America" before making his usual pivot to frame the problem as one of race.
"We lose about 40,000 people every year," Buttigieg told Sharpton, adding roadway fatalities are "a level that's comparable to gun violence" for emphasis. "And we see a lot of racial disparities," Buttigieg continued.
Specifically, according to Buttigieg, "black and brown Americans, tribal citizens, and rural residents" are "much more likely to lose their lives — whether it's in a car or a pedestrian being hit by a car."
Buttigieg argued that the racial disparity is "related to discrimination" and "even the ways roads are designed and built" such that minorities don't have "access to a safe street design that's got crosswalks and good lighting."
Here's Buttigieg's full meandering argument about how roads are supposedly designed to be racially discriminatory:

Sorry for your loss and the aftermath.
Truly a “racist” incident.
Thanks. The blues goes on forever.
Buttigieg’s use of Boy Butter for his morning toast is causing severe mental consequences. It is causing Boy Butter Derangement Syndrome which causes hallucinations and political delusions of racism.

Completely Moronic.
Tell it to the black enclave on Martha's Vinyard.
“Teens” in a lot of urban areas do that ...
You left speeding at 120 mph in a 45 mph zone. That’s a speciality of the young male black folks. On the open highway they rev it up to as fast as it can go. Then there’s racing recklessly with anyone who tries to keep up with their speeding.
That links to a dead end pay site.
Are they “wild-ing” like the mobs in Chicago?
Aside from the mob scenes, there's a culture of sullen, surly obnoxiousness in which negro "teens" deliberate step out in front of vehicles and walk very slowly ... it's one of their ways of saying "fcck you honkey!"
If you hold their stare, they’ll consider it a challenge.
So true; so very true.
When I’m driving at night and someone dressed completely in black with a hoodie over their head walks in front of oncoming traffic, I know it is a “minority” daring someone to hit him.
