Biden: ‘Highways Have Been Built to Enforce Racial Segregation’ Using ‘Federal Dollars’
CNS News, Jul 17, 2020, Craig Bannister

Federal funds are being used to build segregationist highways, and “federal policy” is to blame, former Vice President Joe Biden says on his presidential campaign website.

On a page titled “Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force Recommendations,” Biden outlines strategies he shares with Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) for “pursuing environmental justice.”

Biden argues that “impacts of climate change are not evenly distributed in our society” – and that the inequity is by design, because highways are being built “to enforce racial segregation.”

What’s more, Biden says, federal funds are being used to build the segregationist highways as a matter of “federal policy”:

“Like so many crises facing the United States, the impacts of climate change are not evenly distributed in our society or our economy. Communities of color, low-income families, and indigenous communities have long suffered disproportionate and cumulative harm from air pollution, water pollution, and toxic sites.

“Highways have been built to enforce racial segregation in our cities, with federal dollars and federal policy support. Coal companies have been allowed to reduce or ignore their obligations to fund retirees’ promised health care benefits and pensions. From Flint, Michigan, to the Navajo Nation, to Lowndes County, Alabama, millions of Americans have been denied access to clean, safe drinking water and even the most basic wastewater infrastructure. And although the youngest generations of Americans have contributed the least to this calamity, they stand to lose the most as they suffer from the impacts of runaway carbon pollution for decades to come.”

To combat the racially-inequitable impact of climate change, Biden plans to create an “environmental justice fund”:

He has gone from being entertaining,to making my head hurt.

You also have to wonder about the sanity of the fools that wrote this dribble for him,approved the script,and then allowed him to parrot it.

It doesn't make sense !  How do you make a segregation highway?   WHAT?    It is a rode.  ALL PEOPLE USE IT.   DIVIDED HIGHWAYS?  To stop people from going into, on coming, traffic?  That segregation?

"being built “to enforce racial segregation.”  And that's why they want to put subsidized housing in Every suburb.

Wasn't Joe Biden Vice President for eight years, and before that a US Senator for 36 years?  Why didn't he do something about it then?

Good question...

[ironhorsedriver]

Will this Country ever get real Statesman to run for office again? This country is being destroyed by politicians who only want power, not real progress for the good of the country! And we have a media that doesn't report, they dictate.

Yes,   High 5!   About 40 years in government public office.....nothing productive done.

Hi there!  Welcome to the Briefing Room. 

I'm not so sure what exactly lies in the future of politics in America or even if we're going to make it to the election in November.  You are absolutely correct politicians want power over what's best for country, but IMHO more than our politicians are involved; we have Soros and others funding BLM, Antifa and other subversive groups and the DEMS are more than happy to go along; they could care less about our Republic.  I don't think they've truly thought things through as to what their lives are going to be like once they destroy this country.  Perhaps they feel that they will have some sort of immunity from the radical leftists groups or they are so wrapped up in the power grab that they don't see or care what is happening.  If they think that these groups will allow them to remain in power they are sadly mistaken.

Now the rovin' gambler, he was very bored
Tryin' to create a next world war
He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor
He said, "I never engaged in this kind of thing before
But yes, I think it can be very easily done
We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun
And have it on Highway 61"

Segregation, union pensions, clean water, sewers, pollution - this mishmash of leftist whining points has it all. Just needs a kitchen sink.

It's black top. 

Seems to me that a lot of blacks left the south for northern cities, where they were really treated badly and did not escape the Klan, either.

@Smokin Joe

Even worse,they couldn't escape their neighbors children. Rural people generally don't have those sort of problems. Children born with "mean streaks" tended to die early in "tragic farming accidents".
