For those in the DMV area, I have always thought this and left me:ohhh:.

Take the Beltway 495. As you go north through Montgomery County (the affluent white area), the highway curves and rounds many neighborhoods. Steering wheel stay turning.

Go the southern route through Prince George's County (the minority/ Black area), highway cut through with straightways like butter. Damn near get bored because you going straight for so long.

Cousin hipped me to this many years ago.

:ohhh:Indeed ..

Speaking of this, I've learned to second guess any time white people are supposedly concerned with the plight of black people. It's always a I'm a show this hand but play this one.

So why the concern now, why the sudden revelation. How did they not know these things are happening?

:demonic: they've always known. The question to ask is what are they going to get out of it.
They will get the city back that's what. Major cities are ripe for gentrification and these "fixes" will help expedite this process.

The lady from Detroit called them out about it. They had no answer for her.

Instead of using all this money trying to "fix transportation" how bout you just pay black people reparations for all the harm you've done
Can't fix that though can you :rudy:

Baltimore brehs or anybody else familiar with the area... Y'all kno the stretch of route 40 between edmondson ave and mlk? The part where it's like a highway for 2 miles? That originally was supposed to connect to I-70. It's cuts right thru the heart of west Baltimore and many black homeowners were forced to move out to Woodlawn to make room for it. They stopped building at edmondson village cuz it was white back then and they opposed it.

That explains why I-70 runs all the way from Cali to security Blvd and suddenly stops. They had no problem displacing hundreds of black families but ended all construction when whites opposed it. So basically all those black families got uprooted for no reason. Back than that area was all middle class blacks

This why I always feel some kind of way when driving to overtown :mjcry: i-95 and the east 95 split overtown into 4 quadrants. Same thing happened in parramore Orlando.
