Thank you my friend MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for making us aware that $100B Giving Pete Buttigieg A Slush Fund'

Buttigieg supports his claim of past inequities at least in part by citing Robert Caro’s biography of Robert Moses: Buttigieg has endlessly repeated a story from Robert Caro’s book The Power Broker, which describes how New York City urban planner Robert Moses is said to have kept poor blacks and Puerto Ricans from taking buses to Long Island’s Jones Beach.
But according to Fund, this story is a myth. He cites Thomas Campanella, who wrote: Contrary to a claim in The Power Broker, Moses clearly meant buses to serve his “little Jones Beach” in the Rockaways — Jacob Riis Park. While oriented mainly toward motorists (the parking lot was once the largest in the world), it is simply not true that New Yorkers without cars were excluded.
The original site plan included bus drop-off zones, and photographs from the era plainly show buses loading and unloading passengers. “Bus connections with the B.M.T. and I.R.T. in Brooklyn,” reported the Brooklyn Eagle when the vast seaside playground opened 80 years ago this summer, “make the park easily accessible to non-motorists.”
I don’t doubt that there were cases in the 1950s in which low income neighborhoods, some of them Black, were designated for destruction or serious alteration by highway planners because they were easy targets. But, as Fund says, that doesn’t mean the transportation system is built on widely racist terms."

It is not true. I rode buses, subways,ferry with blacks and hispanics. This during the 40's, 50's and early 60's in New York City.

Are you stating it is not true that Pete "Buttigieg has endlessly repeated a story from Robert Caro’s book The Power Broker, which describes how New York City urban planner Robert Moses is said to have kept poor blacks and Puerto Ricans from taking buses to Long Island’s Jones Beach" my friend CPO Arthur Weinberger.

At least now we are keeping it transparent.... DJT insisted on there being 500 billion at his disposal without transparency to get the stimulus to pass... The Democrats are not ashamed of or trying to hide the programs we are implementing... Pete got 100 billion to spend on the record, Trump got 500 billion to give to his rich friends with absolutely no public record of where it went, that was the deal just to get the big stimulus package to pass.... The Art of the Deal...
