How is it legal that the Environmental Protection Agency is giving a black college nearly $20 million of our tax dollars so they can buy electric bikes for 300 families? And why is the EPA giving money like this at all?

Per The Center Square:

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced it was giving a private, historically black university in New Orleans a $19.9 million grant, some of which will be used to buy electric bikes for 300 families.

Dillard University will get the $19 million federal grant and the city of New Orleans will get a $50 million federal grant to combat a “climate crisis.”

Marc Scribner, a senior transportation policy analyst with the Reason Foundation, said buying electric bikes for a small number of families was not an appropriate use of federal funding. Scribner said the federal government should be more focused on big-picture solutions.

The EPA is supposed to be a regulatory agency.

Why is it funding black people only? And why is it buying bikes for people?

How is this expensive, racist spending even legal?
