Per recent polls, former President Trump is garnering more support from traditional Democrat constituencies. One way Dems are desperately trying to cement their cobbled coalition is by fostering race-based jealousy and disillusionment. Their dispiriting message of systemic racism now includes roads, trees, animate dogs, inanimate dogs, cameras, and the great outdoors.

Who would’ve known that roads are racist?

The Department of Transportation sees everything through the prism of racial equity. It issued the National Roadway Safety Strategy (NRSS), which emphasizes a Safe System approach. The DoT’s strategy “seeks a better understanding of the intersection of equity and roadway safety, and a comprehensive approach to incorporating equity into all of the Department’s efforts to achieve zero roadway fatalities and serious injuries.”

That’s important because the roads in places like in Milwaukee are racist. That’s why Biden recently went to the battleground state — to pander and promote a multi-million dollar project to redo some of the racist streets. But how about this: in addition to reengineering racist roads, allow law enforcement to pursue fleeing criminals? That ought to curb reverse road racism, which benefits minority groups disproportionately.

Miraculously in Seattle, the roads are not only racist but “self-enforcing.” To stymie abysmal traffic safety trends, they devilishly devised a plan worthy of leftist nutcases: “Peer agencies are moving away from enforcement as a leading strategy, pointing instead to a safe systems model and designing roads to be ‘self-enforcing.’” [Emphasis added]

Perhaps it is not the streets in Seattle that are racist. Consider that Seattle city councilmember Tammy Morales viewed street safety through a racist prism when blabbering this nonsense, “I don’t think any of us want police involved in traffic stops.” No, she’d rather they self-enforce.

Who would have known that trees are racist?

Malcontents determined to find racism everywhere have discovered there’s tree inequality in America. Somehow, I don’t think planting more trees in the hood will soothe the souls of thugs out for mayhem. If anything, it may just give them an extra place to hide.

Is there an inequitable distribution of trees based on race, or do they just thrive more in leafy suburban communities? Communities where they are nurtured; where they are free of graffiti and wounds from stray bullets. Communities, by the way, where homeownership for people of color is up, though divisive Dems would never harken on such positivity.
