Buttigieg Says Traffic Fatalities Happen Because of 'A Lot of Reasons Related to Discrimination' (VIDEO)
[Gateway] Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg appeared on MSNBC’s Politics Nation to discuss racist roads with host Al Sharpton.

Buttigieg told Al Sharpton that traffic fatalities happen because of racism and discrimination.

"We’ve got a crisis when it comes to roadway fatalities in America," Buttigieg said. "We lose about 40,000 people every year. It’s a level that is comparable to gun violence — and we see a lot of racial disparities. Black and brown Americans and tribal citizens and rural residents are much more likely to lose their lives..."

Buttigieg continued, "There are a lot of reason related to discrimination....even related to the way the roads are designed and who has access to a safe street design that’s got crosswalks and good lighting."

Roads are now racist.

The look on Al Sharpton’s face said it all.

#2 Buttigieg points to how roads are 'designed and built' as the reason for racial disparities in road fatalities

'Black' tar
'Colored' lights
'Yield' signs
Intersex-tions
Trans-portation
Angry, cross streets
Pot holes
'Passing' zones

Gee, he might be right.

#3 The look on Al Sharpton’s face said it all.

When a grifter suddenly realizes that his 'mark' is, in reality, an empty shell.

#4 Todays commentary in part from Kunstler is a perfect comment:
You might be among those who have noticed that the people in authority in our country appear increasingly insane. It ought to be self-evident that this is deeply disturbing, but I will explain anyway to allay any residual mystification. In a sane human society, authority is granted to those who are trustworthy. People earn trust by demonstrating their allegiance to reality. Things generally work better when the people running them maintain cordial relations with reality. Now, you understand why so many things don’t work in the USA."
