Transportation Buttigieg: Roads Kill More Blacks, Racism Built Into Our Highways

One trick pony Pete. Persistent Pete. You have to give him credit for that. Racist Racist Racist. Now it is the roads. How can one man pack so much of it from his Transportation gig? It is hard to pick the worst member of his Cabinet. Surely this one has to be close to the top.

Buttigieg has previously highlighted discrimination within America’s infrastructure. Dismantling a highway. What could be more American than that?

“What we’re doing is we are reconnecting people who may have been disconnected or divided by discriminatory decisions in the past,” Buttigieg said in November 2021.. “That helps everybody. I don’t know why anybody would be against reconnecting people who have been divided by discriminatory decisions in the past.”
