"If an underpass was constructed such that a bus carrying mostly Black and Puerto Rican kids to a beach ... in New York was designed too low for it to pass by, that ... obviously reflects racism that went into those design choices."

Well, with global warming, just wait a few years and the beach will come to the Black and Puerto Rican Kids and then the problem is solved.

He is referring to Robert Moses, a Long Island, NY road designer.

Supposedly, Moses made the bridges low to discourage summer traffic to Jones Beach by trucks and busses. One of his associates claimed it was because of his hatred for the negroes. This claim hasn't been proved or disproved.

Not sure about that, as there were many times we hopped a bus to jones beach, either to hang out. Or work at the amphitheater But it's been almost 50 years sine i was down there.

Our public officials have got to be some of the dumbest people on the planet.

The VP asked NASA to track trees by race to see how many were in different neighborhoods. For environmental justice of course.

Everything is racist, including bridges and trees.

One can post as many links as they want. I don't care what hhis politics were, thought process, etc.

The SSP is a NON commercial parkway. meaning (for the unknowing) NO COMMERCIAL VEHICLES. Has been, and always will be.

There's the LIE, to use for commercial vehicles. Want to blame someone. Blame those who designated the SSP and wantagh pky as NO COMMERCIAL VEHICLES.

Now if the left was truthful, this would have been another (surprise) non story. Like the one on former gov northam's black face .

Thanks!

I like posting links, especially for those that are not familiar with the backstory that Buttigieg was likely referencing.

You made a good point about the left being truthful, cherry picking their "facts".

Back at ya.

An interesting tidbit. for those not familiar with the RACIST! SSP. One of the reasons it was built, for NON commercial vehicles was to................ Reduce traffic on multi use roadways. Such as Sunrise hwy. That took one to, the roads that goes to the beach.

Now an interesting fact is.. Most , if not all of us (at the time) city folk. No matter the color of their skin. Went to Coney Island, the Rockaways, or the jersey (elitist) shore.

OR we hung out on tar beach.
