If Baltimore was so great during the 50s and 60s, and it looks great, why did so many people leave?

Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said three decades of liberal Democrats running Baltimore have done little to help the plight of minorities.

I had heard Mr. Giuliani last night, either on Megyn Kelly or Sean Hannity. He spoke in detail on what went wrong in Baltimore.
Michael Eric Dyson: Ravens, Orioles to Blame for Baltimore Urban Blight
By Matthew Philbin | April 28, 2015 | 10:16 AM EDT
Professional race explainer Michael Eric Dyson said a lot of stupid things on MSNBC’s All In with Chris Hayes Monday. (Yes, it’s still on the air.) And really, that’s understandable, given that his job was to find excuses for the inexcusable violence and looting in Baltimore.
But mixed in with his litany of exculpatory urban dysfunction (“… the slow terror of expulsions from schools, rising rates of lead poisoning, the export of jobs to, uh, places across the waters …”) and awful metaphors (“it’s easy to point a gun of analysis and shoot [the rioters] with the bullets of our condemnation”) he managed to lash out at … professional sports.
Telling Hayes about the funeral for Freddie Gray, whose death in police custody sparked the rioting, Dyson said, “The Reverend Jesse Jackson, uh, delivered an, uh, analytical, uh, insight into the forces of oppression that have besieged that urban terrain.”
Jackson, Dyson said, spoke of “the ways in which the Baltimore Ravens and Baltimore Orioles with their tax-exempt status and their being given tremendous goodies to stay into the city. So you’ve got the urban blight contrasted to the extraordinary accumulation of capital for some people.”
That’s some analytical insight. The have-nots’ behavior is excusable because the haves have stuff. Somebody should have thought of that years ago!
First, Baltimore has been run by liberal Democrats for generations. Liberal Democrats negotiated whatever deals the Orioles and Ravens have with the city. In the case of the Orioles, they negotiated it with owner Peter Angelos, another liberal Democrat. So it’s all in the family.
Second, Jackson and Dyson should talk to the thousands of people employed by the stadiums, bars, restaurants, parking lots, etc., and see if they’re bitter about the teams’ status. The mostly suburban fans who come into Baltimore and spend their money in the city would be just as happy to do it somewhere else.
But by all means, in the name of “equitable access and distribution” of capital (Dyson’s words), take away the teams’ sweetheart deals and goodies. That should be a consolation to the CVS worker who was just burned out of a job.
“If Baltimore was so great during the 50s and 60s, and it looks great, why did so many people leave?”
Answer:
Just like most major Democrat cities, the white people fled to the suburbs after the MLK 1968 riots.
Heartbreaking: ‘I don’t know how to explain to my kids… that mommy is out OUT OF A JOB because of this.’

While pathetic idiots like Marc Lamont Hill praise the maggots that destroyed property in Baltimore, real people like this woman who lost her job will be hurting because of looter degenerates and the media pimps that encourage them.
Watch below:

If I was an Orioles fan, I would begin to wonder if I should get rid of my season tickets.
“protester wielding a bottle”
You can “wield” plastic soda bottles now?!?
DEMOCRAT Senator Catherine E Pugh pictured embracing protester wielding a bottle
If you look closely you'll see that the bottle in question is a plastic bottle of A&W Root Beer.
Than. The word is than.
So no credit for you, as you are clearly wrong.
So, no biggie.
Worry less about other posters “spelling” and worry more about the course of the direction of how this country is going, which is NOT GOOD.
Excellent observation, an analogy would be worrying about the color of paint on a house while it's on fire.
Self aggrandizing crackpots are that way.
