I think TheHaraharian would agree that when the Interstate system plowed through North and South Claiborne in the early "60's it was primarily white families which were relocated. Am I right? That being the case how then can anyone claim the roadway to be a racist roadway? Are people not considering the population shift between then and now?

Probably not. No doubt there were white families relocated though.

I don’t know that, but I know that stretch runs through Treme which is labeled historically black.
It’s not a small area. Stretch of several miles, so it’s not a single neighborhood.
