You complain this place is tiresome, and then invite us to go read about Robert Moses and his racist bridge policy. So we go read a bit about it, and note that a somewhat more authoritative source than rando-on-HN suggests that the accusations are in dispute and lack good supporting evidence. And now -this- is in fact the problem with HN?

Seriously? Has the bar changed from "Google it" to "Read through several research papers and books" for someone to comment on how true something is generally accepted to be? And you're saying that the person who looked something up on Wikipedia is the problem?
