How racist highway designs impacted Tampa Bay neighborhoods
Вставка

- U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is calling to attention the way racism played a role in the country’s major roadways. Instead of connecting communities, highway design was used to racially divide neighborhoods or displace and destroy minority communities altogether. Historians said Tampa Bay is among the areas with highway designs that displaced minorities and created racial inequity.

Our roads in England have racist pot holes everywhere
hahahahahahahahaha
I think they ran out of things to call racist....
I think your correct bro
@TNerd because everyone who isn’t white in their head is a victim. If you aren’t white you can’t possibly be successful in this country. The democrats are literally bringing back slavery and saying it to our f*cking face except now with a smile.
ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT CHANGING THE NAME OF MARTIN LUTHER KING BLVD.❓
I swear I feel like I live in a bizarre movie and am hearing newscasts to match...
These politicians must make a lot of Americans vomit.
And Fox 13 just runs with it. Unbelievable.
Gay Pete doesn’t have a clue - about anything.
He was a failed mayor.
I can't wait till 2022 to vote these reject democrats out.
Yesss!!!
This is Golden.
Now the roads are racist come on people
obviously you didn’t listen to a word of the explanation but just thought of a funny little slogan

@@picklesandcheese25 talk about stopping gentrification and giving us reparations which is owed to us.
Is this supposed to be a joke?
It’s no use they don’t care they just want to ignore history
Segregation was a reality. However there is nothing stopping them now from living in either side.
Except redlining and systemic poverty.

Anyone who dismisses this is in denial or hasn’t taken the time to study some real US history. But we also know that this isn’t just about race but ultimately it’s about money at the expense of mostly POC.
It’s not about money ya idiot, it’s because many streets were designed to allow large vehicles and buses on they were designed to keep areas from being overcrowded and we had streets that were built back in the day before suvs and semi trucks
Nonsense
Not POC, but African Americans
Bruh what !?😂😂😂😂😂
Are you effen kidding me? It's garbage reporting like this that's causing your rating decline.
Wtf?
Because of the expense of road building and the necessity due to a growing population roads are built to connect two points with a straight line. This racism charge is nonsense,
The historical amenisa that most Americans have is nauseating. This is historical fact, especially when you study the history and practice of redlining in the United States. The "ghettos" had nothing with the "moral failings of Blacks." They were legally created. There's nothing conspiratorial about it. People can just do a basic, cursory study of housing in the United States, and the construction of highways also comes up in the study.
Because most Americans are not taught this, you believe that everyone...had an equal opportunity.
It was more like poor ppl. All poor ppl. Not just black. They could get their land for cheap so they built it to separate poor from rich.
You gotta be kidding me. This guy does not have a clue.
Racist roads?! My god, I thought I heard everything, but this one is more delusional than proper grammar being racist!😂 These democrats never fail to make me laugh
If you listen to the story, they are talking about highway planning that involved literally building on top of and through a thriving black community. That's economically impactful.
@@justintate2700 I seriously do not understand how that dumbass watched this whole video explaining racism built into our infrastructure and yet he decided to call it delusional. Like bro what part of the video did you not understand
Oh my God Petey I've got the perfect solution for you. Just flip the road around so it's going in the other direction. 😂😂🤔🙄
lets cancel the roads and highways, stick to the rivers and streams
You really didn't watch the video did you?
@@mikecollier7732 they just have hatred at this point
So what? Are you going to tear down bridges and reroute expressways that have been in place for 50, 60 and 70 years? Stop this divisive behavior.
All highways do that s it for brains
Do they require all reports to be brain dead )l?
let's head to the comments to see what the racism experts from Tampa, FL have to say
You are bringing up rhetoric.
how about just clearing out the slum area's
The highway where built for National Security
Reparations will help.. not sure what doing news on it does?
I hate leftist but this comment section is making me realize they aren’t off on half the stuff they say.
Lol 😂
🤪
I've run out of white guilt.
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!!!
I guess no other race was impacted when these highways were installed? And of course the reporters asked?
It's a good thing you're covering these atrocities. Now my two black grandboys will finally be able to enjoy the highways instead of feeling so oppressed, bless their hearts.
I175? Doesn't exist
I-175 is the on-ramp to I-275 in downtown St Pete. It is south of I-375 which is also the onramp to I-275 on the north side of downtown St Pete. It exists.
Has nothing to do with race. Just was poor decision planning.
They’ve done this in multiple cities like Portland and Detroit too. It is about race I know the stupid marxist and leftist over use race but this is real.
Unfuckinreal!
Pretty shocking that this is only being addressed now in 2021...
It's pure divisive propaganda meant to divide people by race. The entire propaganda media establishment is bent is bent on pushing these false narratives.
That sarcasm is pretty thick...
pretty shocking you fell for that garbage,
This is it. This is the one. They cannot be serious. I refuse
