You're definitely a RACIST.

You're another RACIST. It clearly shows what you really think of Black people.

I don't think this section of City-Data is monitored at all.

It wasn't when I last lived in Baltimore in 2012-2014. Moved back this past September and it's apparent things have not changed here, except some posters I didn't see in the past...

The senior moderators may get involved if you wrote them DM's. At least that's been my experience from long ago...

The 1964 chart-topping song "RAG DOLL" by the "Four Seasons" was based on one of them seeing and tipping a very young girl "squeegee kid".

Thanks. Yeah it's obvious it's not moderated. I haven't posted in 5 + years before I returned this month. The Baltimore forum seems to be the same circle jerk of dumb racists that populate the Sun page so ... I guess we needed another place for them to do that ?

Ha,ha, good ole Sunspot. i'll assume that is what you meant. Overall that was a good message board but I didn't participate much discussing politics.

Too little, too late. That article is over a year and three months old, and nothing has been done. A couple of million dollars and it COULD train up to 100 squeegee thugs. There are thousands of squeegee thugs on the streets. How much will the job training pay them? NPR and local news outlets say they make about $200 a day, tax free. Why would they want to participate in such a program to make less?
