Former failed contender for the Democratic Presidential nomination and current Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg unveiled a new billion dollar scheme on Thursday designed to make America’s roads less racist.
As The Daily Caller reports:
U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg launched a $1 billion project on Thursday to fix America’s racist infrastructure system.
Buttigieg launched the Reconnecting Communities program, a “first-of-its-kind” anti-racist infrastructure project aimed at rebuilding communities that were “racially segregated or divided by road projects,” reported the Associated Press.
The program gives states financial support for five years from the project’s $1 billion budget to help reconnect primarily low-income, African-American communities negatively affected by the massive 1950s expansion of the interstate highway system, reported the AP.
We’re proud to launch Reconnecting Communities: the first-ever dedicated federal initiative to fund transportation connections for places disconnected or damaged by the transportation policies of the past. https://t.co/ffiWMdfhIS pic.twitter.com/hLb7G4iDD5

“Prior to 2021, the idea that we would deal with highway infrastructure that has divided communities was very much a fringe idea,” Crowther said. “The Biden administration has really transformed that into mainstream thinking. We are thinking now this is something that is possible — that you can remove a highway and instead build safe streets that are walkable, add housing and address other community needs besides travel time.”
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis had previously mocked the idea that roads could be racist, calling it ‘some weird stuff.’
Shut up and a butt plug in it tutti fruits
YEAH ROADS NOW ARE BEING CALLED RACIST!! WHAT NEXT? IF WE USE THE TOILET IS THAT GOING TO BE RACIST?!!
AMEN!!!!!
Democrats, by far, are the most stupid human beings that live on this Planet. As long as they are in charge, we can count on this country going down to the dumps. There on only two Democrats to my knowledge that are sane and I think most know who that is. The rest are just money wasters and love spending it as long it’s not out of their pocket. Come on 2024.
These people are a waste of taxpayers money. Throw him to the curb by recalling him NOW.
Anybody that voted or continues to vote for these lunatics should be deported to Disney World. Is it not ironic that these same people, The Democrat Party, invented racism through their undying support of slavery, the KKK, segregation, total opposition to the Civil Rights laws of the 1960’s, through to today where they bring up racism or racial quotas in every single thing that they say or do. They do not have a single person in their administration that was hired for past experience, education, or with skills needed for the position.
Don’t ya just love how efficient Democrats are of wasting other people’s money?
The stupidity of this administration never ceases to amaze!!!Where do these people come
from? And spending money we don’t have with the economy like it is with people scraping
to make a living and pay high prices and goods in short supply!! Most of these leaders are
still AWOL! They all have their money and all the freebees and many things paid for do to
entitlements!! Come on man!!!!! SPEND SPEND SPENT IS ALL WE HEAR!!!
Give me a break ! Neither Pete Buttigieg nor president Biden is. remotely close to being” dumb”. Former “president ” Trump is by far the stupidest, most ignorant and clueless president in US history . And The entire GOP is filled with imbeciles who have absolutely no business being in politics .
Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert ? I wouldn’t trust either of them to be my waitress in a. coffee shop !
Does anybody remember why the revolutionary war was fought. Taxation without representation. Now we have taxation with no “Competent” representation. A billion here a billion there, do you people realize where they’re getting this money from. Take a good long look at your paystub, if you even have a job now days, this has got to be stopped!
Just when you think these freaks couldn’t come up with something more stupid, here we are talking about roads being racist. The demonrats have used that word for EVERYTHING as though it still has meaning.
Yes, he is dumber than Biden, and that’s a really high dumbness bar to exceed.
“ Ever-thang be raysus”. I remember when I was a kid, I just KNEW there was a boogeyman under my bed and in my closet. I’d nearly smother myself to death under the blanket, hoping he wouldn’t get me. Then I grew up.
If the Republicans win big enough to impeach Biden and Harris, they need to do so and stop this BS spending.
man of all the stupidest ideas to come from some idiots mouth and there have been a lot of stuoid ideas coming from washington right now. the next thing they will be calling snow racist because it is white. they will somehow want to make it brown or black. where do they find these motons?
Racist highways? Old Booty-Gouger is reaching Nancy Pelosi levels of stupidity with this inane idea.
Pete Buttgag is an incredibly stupid excuse for a human. When did roads become racist? Pete Buttgag, and China Joe are the racists, along with most of the DumbocRATS!
What do you expect? This idiot is married to a man!! Can we expect anything from this fool? Make the roads less racist? LOL does he want to paint them black? This insanity has gone far enough!! How in hell our roads racist? The roads here are full of chuck holes due to the failure of that thing that calls herself a governor does this make them racist? ENOUGH OF THIS MENTALLY ILL IN SANITY!! GET THESE FOOLS OUT!!
What the hell is wrong with these people? OMG it’s like we are in the matrix ,some kind of bizarro world ! Everything that right is wrong and everything that’s wrong is right ! At least we don’t have any mean tweets ! Anyone who voted for these idiots should be ashamed of themselves!

Dumber than roadkill.
Joe hired the finest bunch of morons on the planet and the Senate confirmed them!
When will this insanity stop???? When will we give MAJOR PUSHBACK to these idiots?
Yeah, stop calling it blacktop!
They’ll make the roads ‘less racist’ by banning whites from them. Right…
YOU ARE A VERY MIXED UP PERSON AND NEEDS TO REPENT OF YOUR SINS.
This is what happens when you pay someone who spends most of his time getting his stool pushed in.
Shut up and a butt plug in it tutti fruits
yesss
If you don’t have the desire to spend money on items like crime, drugs, nonfunctional border, military, education, law enforcement, economy , infrastructure or other common sense things. Really stupid wasting of money makes sense. George Soros must be very proud of his mindless minions.
What a butt head, the only true racists, are hidenbiden, and the dumbocrap party, plain and simple.
Removing highways? Most realtors advertise “close to main hubs of transportation” as good things, like that increases property values.
Most highways are pretty old- built during Eisenhauer. Were the people living now already there when the highway came in? this makes no sense! We need highways to make our streets less congested.
Our infrastructure is crumbling, our supply chains need fixing, and this is Butt-Plug’s solution? Pathetic.
Vote the idiot democrats out. Never seen a dumber group in government.
If this man is serious about this project, then he may have some of the same mental deficiencies that Sniffy Joe does.
another dembo waste of money for their over used word “racist”.
Americans everywhere are going broke and struggling but hey let’s keep giving money to crap like this that’s not helping anyone
HOW CAN THIS THING LOOK HIMSELF IN THE MIRROR AND THINK HE HAS THE SENSE TO MAKE DECISIONS FOR A NATION – WHEN THE FOOL THINKS ME CAN BECOME PREGNANT AND HAVE MENSTRUAL PERIODS LIKE BIOLOGICAL WOMEN DO? ANYONE WITH A MIND THAT MESSED UP HAS NO RIGHT BEING ANYWHERE BUT IN A THERAPY CLASS FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE. THIS IS A SICK PUPPY-THAT NEEDS A SERIOUS COURSE HEADING CHANGE BEFORE HE SINKS THE USA SHIP!!! HE REMINDS ME OF THE 50’S CARTOON CHARACTER OF HOWDY “DOODY” ! LOOK UP THE RESEMBLANCE- BUT HOWDY HAD SOME SENSE TO HIS CHARACTER- UNLIKE THIS “THING”. WHEN SOMEONE HAS THEIR MINDS SO MESSED UP THAT THEY GOES AGAINST NATURE IN THE VERY THING THEY WERE PUT HER FOR- THEN TO ME THEY ARE “SICK PUPPIES” AND DO NOT NEED TO BE MAKING DECISIONS FOR NORMAL PEOPLE!!
Where did this guy come from??? Where’s the money coming from?? We are broke. People are
scrapping to pay for essentials and this guy is talking about spending spending spending???
We are being crushed by government spending now he has a bright idea to pile it on!! Where
is the sanity in the government??? Now is not the time for this stuff…he among other Demo’s
are trying to bury us in debt!!!!
Travel time = energy usage.
What an idiot. So what does he want to do; Have a highway take you close to a city, then you have to get off and go through the city and then get back on the highway past the city and continue on your way? This just shows that liberalism is a mental disease.
