Many areas in the US had freeways built through neighborhoods whether purposely or accidentally (but mostly purposely) to divide minorities and whites. Many times cities would just use eminent domain through poor minority communities to build the highways. <cite>CruelBuffalo posted [p:952715552] in Robert Mos...

Lebronwon 04/11/21 1:57:05 PM #12:	AwesomeFawful posted... I didn't even know about the information in the first tweet. What other examples are there? Detroit and Philadelphia had similar situations where highways were built in black neighborhoods. From what I heard it is due to POC not having the political power to fight it off. I'm more familiar with NYC stuff which also happens to be the most viral. There was supposed to be a highway built in lower east side of Manhattan. But people said looked what happened to the black/hispanic neighborhood in Bronx when they built the expressway through it. It ruined that area dont do it to us and they backed off. But never really fixed the Bronx from what happened to them all those decades later. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 <cite>Lebronwon posted [p:952715732] in Robert Mos...
