Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg has warned that racism is “physically built” into the U.S. highway system.
Yes, really.

Responding to allegations from theGrio White House correspondent April Ryan that the interstate system was “built on a racist system” meant “to keep certain groups in and certain groups out,” Buttigieg enthusiastically agreed, saying:
“Yeah, often this wasn’t just an act of neglect. Often this was a conscious choice. 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.”
“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,” Buttigieg continued.
“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.”
WATCH:
Dailywire.com reports: President Joe Biden promoted his massive $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan on Wednesday, saying, “We don’t just fix for today. We build for tomorrow.”
“Two hundred years ago, trains weren’t traditional infrastructure either until America made a choice to lay down tracks across the country,” he continued. “Highways weren’t traditional infrastructure until we allowed ourselves to imagine that roads could connect our nation across state lines.”
As theGrio reported:
Phase one of fixing the nation’s infrastructure is not just about some of the obvious: repairing potholes, bridges, roads, airports, schools, creating new power grids, replacing lead pipes and expanding broadband.
There are also efforts to correct America’s racist wrongs.
Equity is now being built into the soon to be updated black-and-white road maps of yesteryear. “If you think about it, much of this infrastructure was paid for and designed before the Voting Rights Act of 1965,” former Obama Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx tells theGrio. “That was a time before Black people were at the table.”
Buttigieg has raised eyebrows before for comments he made regarding Biden’s infrastructure plan. As The Daily Wire reported:
Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg was ridiculed on social media on Friday for expressing openness to a policy that would pay for President Joe Biden’s massive infrastructure budget by taxing motorists for each mile they drive.
“So, I think that shows a lot promise,” Buttigieg said regarding a mileage-based tax during an interview with CNBC. “If we believe in that so-called ‘user-pays principle,’ the idea that part of how we pay for roads is you pay based on how much you drive. The gas tax used to be the obvious way to do that; it’s not anymore.”
“So, a so-called ‘vehicle-miles-traveled tax’ or ‘mileage tax,’ whatever you want to call it, could be a way to do it,” Buttigieg added.
Many pundits took to social media to blast Buttigieg for floating such an idea, which many claimed would be a further burden on the poor.

So Pete thinks it would have been a better idea to buy up the better neighborhoods at 10 times the price, uproot the people that actually produce something of value, and leave the slums remaining. Great plan!
And God created a multicultural world Yeah right Sure .Geography and history are all wrong .Tower of Babel mate .
The communists know what a great weapon and tool race is to use against the population to keep it divided and maintain power and control.
The fact is, communists are the worst racists.
The slave trade industry was the worst racists and that was England And yes they did facilitate Lenin TOTALLY .And yes they did actually set China up for a communist enslavement ideology too .And yes it is western white capitalism that has benefited the most from both russia and Chinas enslavement called ” communism “
Communists flood nations with minorities and then inculcate the minorities with hatred for the majority who then act the way non whites are acting in the USA today. If the majority tries to make common cause with the minority against the communists the communists win every time. Only white people are individualists everyone else is ethnocentric to the point it is impossible to get them to care about anyone who is not one of them.
The only way to save the USA is for the white founding stock to step up and demand we deport all the non whites who have been brought in by the communists to implement the communist agenda. There is no other solution. Deport most all the non whites or the USA turns 3rd world communist. There will never be a 3rd choice.
Which way white man?
Fuckingretardedleftists, the interstate highway system was made to duplicate the German Autobahn to make it easier and quicker to move goods and services. Also to help get the military quick access to other parts of the nation that aren’t close to railroads and military bases.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE!
Exactly China invented money but Rome built roads .That’s why Chinas communist slaves working to make western capitalists rich
You are right about this. Eisenhower was duly impressed by the infrastructure he saw in the American Zone. It’s ok to co-opt good ideas and he did just that.
What the elite are trying to do now is create a historical looking situation whereby the future and present world is deceived into rhinkingbAmerica is the racist country on the planet, that America is evil and the world best rid if it .Thays the intentions of their manipulations lies deceits and omissions of telling the truth The truth that no country has ever ran a slave industry on the scale England did out of Africa ,killing MILLIONS of Africans in the process Millions brutally killed in that ” processing ” of human cargo .Bow they want the world present and future ,to believe it was an American industry It wasnt at all America was an english colony when the slave trade was happening It was English After the war of independence dance Anerica ended slavery seriously hurting england s economy Paybacks a bitch .Although it also really tore America apart and destroyed the wealth of the french southern colonies .Its such a shame people are so thoroughly deceived about everything, and dont know it at all .But that’s the success of the education department and media and publishing .All in it together. Always the same ,always the opposite. As above so below
Slaves were sold by the followers of Judaism to Arabs for about 3000 years before the followers of Judaism were allowed to sell slaves in the English commonwealth for a few hundred years before the English outlawed it. Arabs are still enslaving Africans to this very day. The English outlawed slavery long before the USA did. You are ignorant about slavery.
Pete Bu tt pilot is an excellent example of an obscure nobody rising the lofty heights of a conspicuous Nobody.
Maybe Booty Gig could build a highway to Fairyland.
I certainly agree with that, Paul; Booty Gig’s dumber than a box of rocks anyway. Once he could build that highway to Fairyland, he can stay there until he passes away.
Pete is a cia clown. Don’t trust him.
Pete ButG has a point. However it wasn’t about race; the interstates throughout the NE were purposely planned to carve up Catholic inner-city neighborhoods in a successful war against the growing influence of the Church, and the growing political power of Polish, Irish, German and Italian immigrants. E. Michael Jones explains it all in his excellent book “Slaughter of Cities: Urban Renewal as Ethnic Cleansing”.
Thus spake Peter Panderer, reporting from Never-Never Land..
