Pete Buttigieg Begins $1 Billion Pilot Plan to Ensure ‘Racial Equity’ in Roads

Simon Kent 30 Jun 2022

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Thursday will launch a $1 billion pilot plan to address what he sees as cities and neighborhoods racially segregated or divided by roads.

Buttigieg has previously declared “there is racism physically built” into U.S. infrastructure, promising to address it soon after taking office.

As Breitbart News reported, he argued that some highways and bridges across several cities were designed to divide communities by race.

“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,” he said. “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.”

“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,” he added.

Now he has moved to correct what he sees as a racial road system that is part of a broader systemic problem across the nation.

I thought his "story" about DC's roads were debunked years ago.  But never let a good lie go to waste when you are a woke gay dumbass.

If the super-rich super-White Liberals can claim that COVID is racist (which they did), then why can't roads be racist?

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

So what's next?  Scanners on the highways that detect the driver's skin color, so only blacks and other favored minorities can use the express lanes?

It reduces Urban warming by reflecting the heat.  But it is rassist.

What they need to do is ensure that every major town has a Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard.

That way, it will be easier for out-of-towners driving through to identify the dangerous neighborhoods.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Nope. Our employees are idiots. They are NOT our rulers.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I haven't driven on a white road since i drove on the two miles of concrete road (later taken over by the State) one of my ancestors built from the end of the State Road to the packing house/steamboat pier back in MD.

Now that I live in ND, though, I see a problem finding the damned thing in winter if it's white. Blacktop at least gives you glimpses of the road through the thin spots in the snow.

I think they're just plain bat crap crazy.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Democrats blaming the voters for what democrats have accomplished by hook and by crook, secrecy, and betrayal, cannot all be laid on the voters.  the wicked have their actions to be held accountable for to.  Democrats trying to blame everything of what they have done or accomplished looks like one of their last acts of desperation by democrats to escape being held accountable for the evils and wickedness-es they engaged in.  They fully purchase their tickets to hell!
