I feel that the most appropriate word here is one that has sadly lost currency: faggot. What an absolute fucking faggot.
But also, this is unhinged levels of "alternative facts" or "my reality is equally as valid as yours", to the point where this actually makes no sense.
Like, does anyone actually buy this shit? Really. I know we're right in the middle of clown world, now, but even then... This is a massive stretch of the truth. Wow.
Then there's the former bridge in Baltimore, named after Francis Scott Key--an evil white man slaveowner. Even worse, he was Christian.
They will have to replace it with the "Dis nigga done gone across da water, you know what I'm sayin' Bridge." It will only let over people from the proper gangs and randomly drop wypipo into the water because "dat funny and shit."
I know what's happening here, because we have it in Orlando. The I-4, not the I5 back in Seattle, cuts the skyscraper part of the city away from a residential area. That area is mostly black, and has been that way for generations. People who want more skyscrapers want to bulldoze the residential area, and are looking for a political opinion that sounds plausible. They say the freeway separates whites from blacks, and that we need to reconnect the two areas.
There are office buildings, and major companies already in the area, including the part of EA that makes Madden. Heck, the Orlando Magic play on the black side of town. The local football club has their stadium on this side.
Black people go into the urban part to party or hang out, and then head home. There is no disconnect by any standard use of observation. I am still told quite often that we need to reconnect the divide, and every single person involved wants to build a giant building. It's purely architects looking for a job.
People in the replies are saying this was a video clip from a few years ago where Bootygig was talking specifically about the story of Robert Moses in NY, described in The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York.
"In one of the book's most memorable passages, Caro reveals that Moses ordered his engineers to build the bridges low over the parkway to keep buses from the city away from Jones Beach—buses presumably filled with the poor blacks and Puerto Ricans Moses despised."
Not that it made it any less retarded or political for him to racebait at a press conference, but it seems like justifying his nonsensical beliefs with a historical anecdote was his motivation.
It's not the black neighborhoods wanting this. I have a friend that runs an architecture firm, and is mostly black owned and run. He knows these neighborhoods really well because politicians and rich people keep wanting to build skyscrapers in the bloody area. I've arranged meetings for us to meet when the Orlando Magic are playing and there's a big party near Lake Eola to watch people walk through the area. We will have students and architects all crying over the terrible racist division.
I get invited to help design stuff because is am a historian/anthropologist and then a designer. Every time I come up with answers, I'm told the only answer is big parks, bulldozing houses, and rich people pretending to be ethnic. They want to destroy one of the oldest black highschools in the state. Wesley Snipes graduated from there. I helped redesign their museum.
It is purely rich people crying racism as they destroy black neighborhoods. Almost every time you read about it, that's what's actually happening.
We have this in almost every city in Australia, too. Sure, some of them are dumb (looking at you, Cahill Expressway in Sydney and Clem Jones Tunnel in Brisbane) and probably shouldn't have been built, but nonetheless, that is... Normal? And generally not seen as "rayciss" here, yet, thank guff...
I'm sure we will import the same race-baiting nonsense in a couple of years, though. We usually copy you guys, just a couple of years behind...
In general, the shitty, race-divided parts of the cities in Aus are generally the equivalent of "Skid Row" in LA - i.e. a few small suburbs near the city centre, full of poor, drugged-up Abos and the occasional "migrant", where you generally shouldn't go alone at night (notably, Redfern in Sydney, West End in Brisbane, Footscray, Fitzroy and North/West Melbourne, and, the worst I have personally seen, due to the higher Abo population, Northbridge in Perth)...
So in that sense, those problems carry over, here, too. Northbridge and three of those Melbourne suburbs are heavily impacted by freeways and train lines, too, so I guess that could be argued to be a thing here as well, if to a lesser extent.
Sydney usually gets the worst rep for this sort of thing, but honestly, Perth is the Australian city where highway planners seemed to most closely follow the model of "cut the CBD off from its suburbs", followed by Brisbane and maybe Adelaide. It's just that Sydney and Melbourne like to pretend that the rest of the country don't exist, most of the time, lol.
How the fuck is an inanimate object racist? I need to hear this now.
So the bus carrying black and puerto rican kids to the beach is racist, because it can't get through an underpass? What the ever loving fuck does that have to do with a bridge? Was there a second span above where it was whites only? No, of course not.
I'm trying to understand, but none of this makes sense. I don't have the oppression olympics going on in my head. I can't wrap my head around how this affects a bridge? The bridge is 40+ years old. Older busses might have been shorter and longer compared to new ones. I have no idea how you can future proof things you couldn't possibly have imagined four decades before it happened.
The bridge keeps black from bussing to the sea (effect) so the cause must be racism because the effect was racial.
Actually the cause is that the lower bridge was much cheaper to build and blacks being continual fuckups don't have the cars to drive to the beach like normal people.
Basically "garbage in, garbage out". As long as blacks continue to be fuckups they'll suffer from "racist" bridges and everything else.

I think we need to get some predictions going for the new name:
Floyd's Bridge?
Al Sharpton's Bridge?
I think having a man name is still wrong, how about:
Kamala's Bridge?
AOC's Bridge?
They won't go too crazy. Does Obama have a landmark yet?

Then how do these people justify talk of a "divide"? I hope it's not because you have to drive on the freeway to cross... then just build a skybridge.
There's regular roads under the freeways. It's easy to walk through.
So in what sense, if any, does the freeway divide anything?
Untill they force you to host a black in your one-room appartment, their job flooding your place with them isn't done.

That's the trick, it's not racist. The people who want to build skyscrapers because their paycheck depends on it are saying it is.
As for Melbourne and Sydney, I know the feeling. It's why I don't mention going to highschool in Yakima to Seattle folk.

It's backwards reasoning.

Actually the cause is that the lower bridge was much cheaper to build and blacks being continual fuckups don't have the cars to drive to the beach like normal people.
