Who knew when you were travelling that long, lonely road, that the road could be a Racist?
Former Mayor, now Transportation Secretary says it's true. And, not surprisingly, he told TheGrio that while selling President Joe's $2.25 trillion dollar infrastructure proposal.
TheGro is a video news outlet devoted to stories affecting black America.
"There is racism physically built into some of our highways," Pete said, "and that's why the jobs plan has specifically committed to reconnect some of the communities that were divided by these dollars."
He didn't promise reparations to the roads suffering racism, although he did travel these roads, on his bike, after takiing it out of his accompanying SUV, and he did ask the state of Texas to hold off on expansion of an interstate expansion in Houston as he "investigates racial justice complaints."
But it all seemed a bridge too far when it was disclosed that only 5 to 7 percent of Joe's proposal was allocated to real "Infrastructure" projects, such as roads an bridges.
That's a real injustice of a different kind.
The kind we've come to expect from President Joe.
Hang tough.
