As working class Americans struggle to afford food, gas, or find baby formula to sustain their infants' lives, Biden Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg is focused like a laser on rooting out 'racism' in roads.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Thursday will launch a $1 billion pilot plan to address what he sees as cities and neighborhoods racially segregated or divided by roads.
Buttigieg has previously declared “there is racism physically built” into U.S. infrastructure, promising to address it soon after taking office., he argued that some highways and bridges across several cities were designed to divide communities by race. “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,” he said. “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.”
“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,” he added. Now he has moved to correct what he sees as a racial road system that is part of a broader systemic problem across the nation.
