Racism is "physically built into" America's highways, according to @PeteButtigieg

""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," said Pete."

Thought it was commonly known they were built to assist white flight out of the cities.

There's library shelves full of books on this subject and conservatives act like it's some nutty thing to say.

Go talk to south siders about whether the Dan Ryan historically was a community unifier or divider.

And the good news is that the infrastructure plan will create 19 million jobs.
🤔🤔
Well, 2.7 million jobs now that you ask.

Oh shit. Old 97 is quoting the DC Examiner again. It's basically one incel and his grievances masquerading as a newspaper.

Calvin, should we call ourselves the Washington Tribune? We don't need any knowledge of policy or history. We can just make stuff up and shitforbrains like Judy and 97 will think we're legit.

I-74 with 2 Mahomet exits. I dunno if that was explicitly racism, but a load of money was made developing real estate. Well, yes, part of it was racism. They really did not even try very hard to hide it back in the day.

Might help if you got your own cult too. The conservatives don't seem to mind the cult owned newspapers.

The people who made money from white flight and urban flight in the 60s and 70s and beyond were not necessarily motivated by racism. They were willing and able to meet the housing need or want. They had the political pull to influence highway construction

You're thinking of the Washington Times, which is, by comparison, practically legit journalism.

Remember I72, the Webber Borchers highway, in the middle of the state circa 1970?  A few mile of interstate not connected to anything?  Good ole fashion pork.

Building a road from the state capital to the state university was probably a priority for people who liaised the state university to the state.

Just a hunch.

And the DecayedTurd. One of the most boring drives in the state.

Connecting Bloomingtown-Abnormal with Champain-Urbanana made sense too. The then tiny town of Mahomet got two exits two miles apart. Made the commute from the subdivisions and trailer court adjacent to LoW very convenient.

When I was driving all around central Illinois in the early 70's there were only a few miles completed.  I left the state before the CU/Springfield finish.  At the time, locals always joked about the highway to nowhere.
