Here is a sad fact. We have areas all over our country where many Americans are living under horrible conditions, with unemployment, drug abuse, crime, low education are their normal state of lives. These Districts are led by Democrats and Republicans, these Districts are majority white, black and Hispanics.

When I hear our President single out Democratic led Districts which are mostly minorities as “ crime infested, hell holes that no one wants to live there”, while at the same time never using those terms on Republican led white Districts. Well that sounds like what a Racist person will do.

I don't think its any more racist than U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar said "our country should be more fearful of white men."

In fact, i think Omar's statement is more racist...

Part of being a leftist is a complete disconnect from reality so they never have to blame their beliefs, policies, or themselves for the destruction they cause. It's a mental weakness.

While obviously not 100% guaranteed, like many major cities staying out of drug infested inner city neighborhoods will greatly increase your chances for safety. The whole city is not like that.
ive lived here in Baltimore for 20 years. It is a dump and it's gotten markedly worse since you left in 2014. I'm trying to get the hell out of here. In fact, I'm flying to Tampa tomorrow to take the FL bar exam on Tuesday and Wednesday.

She actually wasn't, the person who called her a racist because she doesn't like rap music was. Their reasoning was that you must like what black people are known for creating and liking or you hate black people. Absurd, right? If a black person mentions that they don't like country music do people automatically call them racist? No, they chalk it up to cultural differences. Very fair...not.

Actually hers was truthful. I definitely fear a mass shooting at my church or movie theater perpetrated by an angry white male more than I fear violence from an illegal or Muslim, personally....

It’s not RACIST racist, but that damn sure doesn’t help his cause. I have no idea if Trump is racist - personally, I think the only color he cares about is green - but I’ll be damned if he doesn’t walk himself straight into these things.

How is it in the inner harbor these days? I heard it's even getting bad down there. Any truth to it? I used to enjoy the aquarium and the restaurants there.

Good luck on the exam.

Trump's policies have helped to make Black Unemployment the LOWEST in history. The condition of Baltimore is more due to its inhabitants, Mayors over the years, and political hacks like Cummings who know they will get the vote no matter what.

So, yet again Trump and all his supporters are racist. That's all you have, keep it up and LOSE is 2020.

You may want to take down that shrine to Hillary in your basement. You know the one with all the Chardonnay bottles around it.
