Buy-dem and Buttbrain: Highways are Racist

Excerpt:
"Now highways are racist – and must be cancelled.

So saith the new Oberbefehlshaber der Transport – Pete Buttigieg. Whose bona fides to hold this office are purely political. Hiring him for this gig is like hiring Fauci to play lead guitar for Van Halen.

At any rate:

“Black and brown neighborhoods have been disproportionately divided by highway projects or left isolated by the lack of adequate transit and transportation resources.”

Come again?



How does it “isolate” anyone – black or brown or whatever their shade – when it is easy to get anywhere, as the godfather of soul, James Brown, once sang about, back when America was still sane? Just slide behind the wheel, how does it feel?

Pretty damned good.

That’s what living in America is like.

Thanks to the Interstate Highway System, which made Americans individually mobile. That’s what James Brown’s anthem is all about – and it’s what people like Buttigieg want Americans to forget all about.

Prior to its existence, there was Route 66 – which in many places was a meandering two-lane that went directly through downtowns.

It was scenic – a TV show was made about it – but it was far from easy to get anywhere. It wasn’t an arterial system, like the Interstate system. It went from the midwest to LA and if you wanted to get anywhere else, you took side roads and that took a long time.

Families couldn’t just get in the car and drive to Disneyland – or to see their grandparents in an adjacent state.

Not over a long weekend, anyhow.

People outside of cities were, indeed, “isolated” . . . before there were “superhighways, coast to coast.”"

Federal Government wants the People to be isolated and dependent, easy to control slaves. Without individual transportation, can People who disagree with Government in 45 states go to the Dark Center of America to express their views? No, the People are kept under surveillance and easily controlled, captured, and killed by murderers like the FBI.

    For the last 6 years I've lived within a mile of Hwy 66 as it goes through Tulsa. It's been fun to drive up and down, looking at all the various signs and historical sites. And of course a lot of the road is just road, with not much of anything on it. That's ok too!

    I'm sure I'll miss it once I become accustomed to being back in DFW. I already miss the slower, saner life we had in Tulsa, but that's not where the job and the kids are.

    This fits right in with electric cars and the mantra of control. A mobile population is an independent population. But if you can control the mobility of a population like the Democrats did with blacks in the Deep South following the Civil War, you can effectively enslave them simply by limiting their opportunities.

    It's also more than a little ironic (and tragic) that Democrats are talking about repressing blacks, because it was their own party which bragged about building inner cities as modern plantations. Note that the blacks who continue to live in these areas are the victims of off-the-charts criminal behavior including drug addiction and gang violence.

    Gosh, if they want to get rid of them just highlight the Nazi origins (Autobahn), paint them as the results of that ultimate evil, and just cancel the darn things out of existence. Once the enviro-freaks get rid of all the cars, we won't need them anyway.

    Route 66 is the most famous, but the US-numbered hiways are still out there, and still provide good transportation between most destinations, including those not served by interstates. If your only interest is getting from point A to B as quick as possible, sure hit the interstate. But I would encourage those with the time, to get off and hit those US hiways as often as possible. On many of them you will find that same atmosphere that Route 66 travelers have come to enjoy. Yeah, they go through downtown areas, and as a result past Mom & Pop diners, old stores with hardwood floors, and art deco movie theaters from a day long before people were afraid to go to the movies, 'cause someone might breathe on them. Get off the interstate and ENJOY the drive!

    Fits right in with my recent post: The Face of Evil...perversions of the gods of wokeness.

    Well control is the key word. Look how easily everyone put a mask on their face and distanced themselves looking suspiciously at their neighbors. Closed businesses, kept their kids out of school, and cut back on church attendance. Sheep, sheep, sheep.

    Satire alert:
    Highways are racist because they have "blacktop". Asphalt, after all, is black.
