What the hell is the point then? He is playing the race card with respect to road names. That is foolishness, plain and simple.
“Biden appointees, are they all insane?”
Yep. And Lindsay Graham voted for every one of them.

It is perfectly true that some roads were built with racist intent — in all cases, as far as I know, by Democrats in the usual democrat cesspool cities. Quarantining the black neighborhoods by imposing formidable barriers to cross traffic was sometimes deliberate. Of course, this tended to trap said black folks in economically blighted ghettos, which was perfectly ok with Democrat political machines in the 1950’s and 60’s.
The more common issue by far, however, was ramming urban expressways through politically powerless neighborhoods, which tended to be disproportionately minority. The suburban cowboy lobby demanded high speed expressways from green, leafy, cul-de-sac land to downtown office districts. It’s politically next to impossible to run such arterial roads through the gentry liberal neighborhoods full of doctors, lawyers, business executives and the mayor’s political donors. The poor black neighborhoods were the path of least resistance. And of course, in years to come, urban expressways blighted most of the areas through which they ran. Urban expressways probably rank close to big welfare housing projects as a way to poison an area of the city.
Dude, watching that again, highlight of my Sunday. Thanks!
Buttplug fantasizes about large black men making him their little twink boy.
He was being groomed just check his background. Obama,Clinton Buttigieg was the scorecard.
Concentrate on you job not the crap
Too many things other than his head going up his perverted asshole.
“the point is not to make America feel guilty”
Yes it was, Buttplug, or you wouldn’t have said it.
Buttigeig is a liar

Why should America feel guilty, unless retards like Butt Plug make up artificial reasons out of thin air? Shaddup, you little pervert.
Partisan Media Shill asks softball (ahem) question to allow talking point response.
He is a frigging idiot clown
Sphinx told the truth.
Buttburgler always with his foot or something in his mouth 🤪
So far, yes.
Article refers to “his argument that some bridges and highways were built with racist intentions”.
Which was then discredited at the end of the article and Pete was chastised for repeating made up/unverified stuff.
Transportation Secy Pete Buttigieg responded to criticism over his recent comments about racist bridges and highways, saying he wants to fix roadways’ “racial injustice.”
“This country’s roads, driveways and parking lots just reek of racism,” the new mother sobbed, wiping away a tear........”I mean all that blacktop.”
No, the point was to deflect criticism and convince his base that he knew what he was doing. Criticism wasn’t deflected and the base wasn’t going to desert him even if he were completely incompetent.
