Buttigieg says racism built into US infrastructure was a ‘conscious choice’
The Grio|21 hours ago Transportation Secretary Buttigieg acknowledges “there is racism physically built into some of our highways” as Biden touts $2.2T proposal.
There’s no arguing that the Democratic Party’s go-to tactic in pushing its agenda is playing the race card, this being almost instinctive in post-Obama America.
But is it possible that even our roads are racist? In a word, yes.
That’s according to Pete Buttigieg, who was tapped by President Biden for Secretary of Transportation. In Biden’s eyes, being the mayor of a small American town of just over 100,000 qualifies one to head up the national agency overseeing transportation — being a gay man certainly ups the ante in an administration that places diversity ahead of character and qualifications.
