Why do Democrats think roads and trees are racist?
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg our national highway system is racist.
And apparently the Portland, OR Board of Education feels trees are racist because blacks were lynched by hanging them from trees.

Basically rich white elite liberals come up with this garbage so they can put click bait in front of blacks enough that they end up in a state of PTSD because the messages are telling them everything is racist. It's really sad for the ones that prescribe to this because they're growing up in mental and emotional bondage thanks to democrats that want to just use them and keep them in fear on that mental plantation.

Roads and trees are not racist, but the construction of some infrastructure is racist.
There was a conservative account that made fun of Pete buttigieg for saying that infrastructure has racism built into it. On Twitter a lot of people started making fun of that count for apparently knowing nothing about Robert Moses, a central planner in the New York City region who, among other things, intentionally created low overpasses for roads out to the beaches on Long Island so that buses from the city, where the Black and Hispanic people mostly lived, would not be able to travel there. That's just one example of racism built into the infrastructure. Another example would be how many mostly black, and in some cities Hispanic, neighborhoods were often the first ones demolished for creation of highways. If you go through city after City you see that there were lots of majority minority neighborhoods which were destroyed by infrastructure, infrastructure which was often meant to benefit mostly white communities. The effects of such destruction linger to this day in some cases. Wow such so-called slum clearance rarely occurs these days, we still have other problems. African Americans, Hispanic, and other people of color are often consigned to the poorest neighborhoods and a lot of necessary, but unpleasant, infrastructure is often located near them. Think of things such as wastewater treatment facilities, coal-fired power plants, and other things. There are real impact on people of color from our infrastructure decisions and pretending that infrastructure, a human creation, is somehow race-neutral is pretty idiotic

Racism is now anything they want it to be from trees to cartoons but BLM isn't racist when the KKK is. You figure it out.
