本期节目以三个历史案例——塞内卡村（中央公园）、奥斯卡维尔（兰尼尔湖）和查韦斯峡谷（道奇体育场）——揭示了美国历史上以建设地标为名清除社区的黑暗历史。这些案例都涉及到政府利用征用权，以公共利益为由，强占少数族裔社区的土地和家园，对居民造成巨大的伤害和不公正待遇。塞内卡村是一个繁荣的非裔美国人社区，因中央公园的建设而被强制拆迁；奥斯卡维尔镇则因种族暴力和政府的强制措施而被淹没在兰尼尔湖下；查韦斯峡谷的墨西哥裔美国人社区则被以“贫民窟”的名义清除，为道奇体育场建设腾出空间。这三个案例都反映了美国历史上对少数族裔社区的系统性压迫和不公正，以及政府利用法律漏洞和不正当手段达到目的的现象。节目呼吁人们关注这些被遗忘的历史，并反思政府权力与少数族裔权利之间的关系。

And all of it was done legally because of eminent domain. Oh yeah, today’s stories are shady
