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:

Well said. I'll add - "That boy is a special kind of stupid".
He is a certified clown.
“Roads Are ‘Designed’ to Kill Minorities, Says Transportation Secretary”
Pete is saying it without saying it.
Actual quotes, even as reported in the article itself do not support the headline. Leave it to Townhall to take a story that’s already outrageous on its own and try to amp it up for clicks.
Alfred E Newman made manifest!
If you combine “Loony Tunes,” and “Mad Magazine,” this is what you get for a Transportation secretary in Brandon’s admin.

There’s only one thing lower than stupid, that’s brain dead!
I need to know if roads are HOMOPHOBIC!!
Throw in aggressive driving, drinking and driving, driving when high, weaving in and out of traffic and a few other such behavioral patterns and I'd wager you could account for damn near all of the accident rate disparities.
My husband was hit and killed by a black driver while on vacation in Los Angeles. The driver wasn’t DUI’d and was on his cell phone. He wasn’t even cited. All of the police on the scene were also black.
Because the traffic signs ain’t in Ebonics? Yo!
Kevin Costner, aka Stands With His Head Up His Ass, wants Buttplug to be president.
Well, asphalt IS black.....
By Jove, I think you’re on to something!
Look at cross walks and traffic patterns down town vs the suburbs.
Kind of hard to cross the expressway on foot.
The tribal lands are more because of the lack of effective policing in those areas.
Here in Tampa, the minority ride bicycles, non street legal minibikes/motorcycles and golf carts through red lights and in the middle of the street. I almost hit a 'teen' doing a wheelie on a non street legal motorcycle on Nebraska Avenue, a few months ago. The 'teen' didn't have lights on it and he weave through traffic besides doing wheelies.
And fags are designed to kill people with AIDS?
Right, AIDS vector?
Really sad. Was the jagoff even insured?
“And to think he believes he’s presidential material!”
He’s faggot bathhouse materials, that’s all.
Signs are in English!
