    The government took the path of least resistance and greatest gain. While the impact on low income residential areas was high, it wasn't just Blacks. It was low income. And because the areas were really not desirable after the construction, they grew even more populated by low income.

    Low income does not necessarily equate to a specific race.

    According to one guy, other unnamed guys thought.... You directed me to a source that claimed that parts of I-95 in Miami was routed in the manner it was out of racial hatred. I gave you a map and asked which part is the one reflecting racial hatred and you responded with a lot of nothing and repetition of your previous unsupported assertions.

    Here it is again. What part of the route was selected to serve racial hatred rather than transportation?

    No, that's not true. Sometimes, it's about petty tyrants using their power to retaliate against critics. (See: building of the Cross Bronx Expressway, which devastated East Tremont.)
