In rural America, historically, the highway or the railroad skipping your town was a death sentence. City councils to this day vote down routing highways around a town's business district.
To all the people who saying highways bring money to a business are really slow. What he is saying the areas are demolished for highways. It’s no businesses left to patronize for no one. Yall yht people need to pickup a book and quit drinking the koolaid.
One thing people don't know streets named MLK. Notice MLK street is always in the high crime parts of the worst hoods. Back in the day the Blacks believe they were getting somethin of their own people as a street name. What was really happening was this… It was a time before GPS or TOM-TOM guidance systems. Well it was getting more dangerous for White people getting robbed or crimes aginst them. So they put a MLK, Woodrow Wilson, etc. in the baddest parts of the Black communities in every city so if you are White driving through any city and come across a street named MLK on it, you would know to turn around because it was a warning about where you are and its not a safe place for Whites to be. That is why MLK is always in the bad part of town. I'm White but the truth is the truth and everyone deserves the truth.

One could argue putting a highway near a business is a good way to bring in customers… but raaaacccccciiiiiisssmmmmm 🌈 🌈💅🌈💅💅
Regardless….this isn’t true. The Government didn’t target black business for its highway placement. This man shiuld be ashamed of himself.
Stop cryin. Untuck it !
After policies like this and redlining people still act confused why there is systemic poverty in the black community (im white btw)
