So, does Baltimore rate as the worst city for thug violence in the US....or does Chicago still hold the ‘honor’?

[Signalman]

Baltimore, Chicago, Newark, Oakland, Detroit...all predominately black and all run by Democrats.

But the blacks keep voting for them.

[Yo-Yo]

I take exception to labeling the politicians as "incompetent Black Democrats." They are "incompetent Democrats," and being Black is irrelevant.

Hizzhonor Mayor Coleman Young ran Detroit into the ground, and he was Black, but it was his incompetence, not his Blackness, that did it.

Memphis is seeking mention here too.

I don't understand. There is a Black Female Liberal in charge...

The Fairy Dust and Unicorn Farts alone should make everything rosy....

As RitaOK insightfully posted: “We have sunk to levels of disgrace never even perceived, under this anti-American psyche case in the White House.”

Baltimore hoodlum prosecutor, Marilyn Mosby actually withheld evidence that Freddie Gray had a history of hurting himself while in police custody.

This imbecile charged six officers doing their job w/ "murder"......like they all woke up that morning and decided to kill Freddie, a man they did not even know.

It’s a frickin’ joke that this lamebrain Mosby was given a law degree.

And she passed the bar exam? No frickin’ way.

As Judge Judy would say: "show me the proof."

[Dr. Ursus]

Memphis should be included as another dem. s***hole!

[Old Sarge]

Since Baltimore’s spring offensive by its shock troops of destruction

Gee, I've heard that phrase around here before...

[Darteaus94025]

If the politician makes their race an issue, then they, and they alone, are responsible for making their race is an issue.

Their ethnicity didn’t cause them to make their race an issue.

Good article.

Among the things ignored and lied about by the MSM:

Billions of dollars of Federal and state taxpayer money is sent to Baltimore every year. It is what keeps Baltimore running. Without it Baltimore would be bankrupt.

No white, middle class family can raise their children in Baltimore.

Most businesses in Baltimore would leave today if they could.

The corrupt incompetent politicians who have destroyed Baltimore include Martin O’Malley.

Freddy Gray was a drug dealer who sold drugs to children. Yet, he is their hero.

The last mayor of Baltimore, Sheila Dixon, was convicted of stealing credit cards that the city had asked people to donate to buy Christmas gifts for poor children.

The policy of the City of Baltimore is to not accept crime reports of assaults by black thugs on white citizens.

"Black" is relevant, because the urban communist black leadership of the urban criminal black parasite class makes it relevant. For them, "being Black" isn't an accident of birth or a physical description. "Being Black", for them, is an all-purpose excuse for every form of incompetence, corruption, criminality, and social parasitism. Part of the problem, here, is their habit of blathering endlessly about skin color, wallowing in self-imposed victimhood, and blaming everbody else (primarily 'whitey') for their own problems.

“...it was his incompetence, not his Blackness, that did it.”

BUT it was his Blackness (and party affiliation) that got him elected, and reelected and reelected. And it’s their Blackness that got Rawlings-Blake and Mosby in office. An incompetent White would not be elected; a competent Black would run as a Republican. And lose.

[umgud]

I hear Memphis had higer per capita murder rates.

“I take exception to labeling the politicians as “incompetent Black Democrats.” They are “incompetent Democrats,” and being Black is irrelevant.

Look it up.

[PapaBear3625]

and said emboldened criminals were settling scores with little risk of being caught

If I were a Baltimore cop, I would have better things to do than investigate who shot a gang banger. I would consider the offing of a gang banger (as long as no innocent bystanders were hit) to be a net civic benefit.

I got in to a discussion with some doofus on another thread about this issue. In today’s America “race” means skin color, which in turn means culpability. Right race no culpability for anything. Wrong race full culpability, even for things you have no control over. Acting like that is not the underlying foundation of every liberal argument is folly.

[USNBandit]

I’m not sure Bal’d’more is in the top five. A few years ago I remember they were #1 for new cases of both Syphillis and Gonorrhea.

[Yo-Yo]

a competent Black would run as a Republican. And lose.

Agreed, proving that it isn't their Blackness that gets them elected, it is the blind voting for Democrats that gets them elected.

Being Black may give them an advantage in the Democratic Primaries because even fellow liberals do not want to be seen as racist by pointing out the flaws of the candidate.

But being Democrat is what gets them elected.
