During an interview with The Grio, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg pointed out America's structural racism and how its ubiquitous presence has even affected our roads.

Buttigieg noted:


"There is racism physically built into some of our highways."

Shortly thereafter, the conservative organization Young America's Foundation (YAF) sent out a tweet attempting to mock Buttigieg for his comment.

YAF must not have done their research before tweeting, however—many Twitter users were quick to point out Buttigieg was absolutely correct in his comments.

The U.S. has a long and well-documented history of destroying Black homes and splitting up low-income communities with highways in urban areas.


Even groups like the Libertarian Party of Texas had to cringe at YAF's attempt at humor.



Buttigieg made his comments while promoting President Joe Biden's infrastructure plan, which contains funds to address the inequality caused by racist policies like redlining.



YAF probably wasn't expecting to be the butt of the joke after posting their tweet.



Racism is an ever-present force in American history and it influenced almost everything, including our highways.


Dismantling systemic racism in the United States will be a long, hard process, but acknowledging its presence in our infrastructure is a good first step.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
