[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bridges are racist.    Remember that?  I wouldn't put him in charge of taking out the trash.[/quote]

The policies that constructed the bridges were racist. If the choice was to go through a white neighborhood or black/non-white one, it was the black/non-white one every time even if it was more expensive, even if it was indirect, even if it was a longer route. And neighborhoods back then were segregated so don't you dare start spouting some nonsense about how there weren't white and black parts of town. For Christ's sake, cemeteries used to be segregated.

"After Congress passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal in November 2021, a reporter asked Buttigieg about correcting the racist design of some roadways. He responded that "if a highway was built for the purpose of dividing a white and a Black neighborhood, or if an underpass was constructed such that a bus carrying mostly Black and Puerto Rican kids to a beach – or that would have been – in New York was designed too low for it to pass by, that obviously reflects racism that went into those design choices."

Buttigieg, who launched a $1 billion pilot program in June 2022 to offer aid to reconnect cities and neighborhoods racially segregated or divided by road projects, has made multiple media appearances in the aftermath of the collapse. But he didn't suggest in any of those that any component of the structure's design was racist."

Is there a question in your response? Are you saying no to the explanation that was provided or what? [/quote]
