He is correct, and the name of the infrastructural racism is “affirmative action.”

An amazing level of stupid. No human with even a modicum of sense believes that level of nonsense.

Were they actually racist highways, or did they just go through communities that were too poor to lobby against them?

Black communities in DC stopped the construction of what would have been an extensive freeway system in DC, including I-695 and I-266. They, and middle-class Whites also stopped a similar system in Baltimore, leaving only I-95, I-395, the Jones Falls Expressway and the Harbor Tunnel Thruway, as well as a short segment of US 40 freeway (formerly I-170).

So please, Pete, talk to Chasten’s hand.

If a highway goes through a minority neighborhood, that’s bad because you’re breaking up the neighborhood. If the highway doesn’t go near the minority neighborhood, that’s bad because you’re cutting them off from economic opportunity. Either way, you’ll be called the r-word.

I thought Pete would’ve said “homophobism is physically built into American infrastructure.” Actually, that would have been more correct to commuters that have been taking it in the arse all these years.

As if the Democrats had nothing to do with said “infrastructure”. The Democrat Party is “Systemic Racism”, more than any other institution can even be compared to . Burn them down.

White babies are born racist, ya know.

Black babies, on the other hand, have royal blood and therefore can never be racist.
