I may not agree with her lipstick color but with all due Battle Cat in Baltimore lays it on the line.
You won’t find that much anywhere as most blacks whatever their economic status would call her a “uncle ruckus” the majority of blacks don’t cross the line in serious discussion about their own except for the comedians on stage e.g., Chris Rock, etc..
Battle Cat in Baltimore deserves the credit for speaking her mind. I hope she doesn’t get roughed up because of this .
I only posted this this because a family friend of mine & I were talking about the past generations of black people in Balto Md who were hardworking-going down to “the Point” as in Sparrows Point, working at Bethlehem Steel, and all other occupations in between and keeping their families together and life was stable for many years and that stability crossed color lines.
There is no more stability in any working class families of ANY color anymore. The economic infrastructure that created societies up and down the east coast , for example, is all gone. You can say that just about anywhere in the US ,too.\\
Battle Cat has a good heart and imho it would kind of interesting to see her interviewed on national tv w/o
the raw language-she’s got her truth & needs to tell it-but
of course, the MSM wouldn’t want to destroy the myth of “oppressed” people nor the demise of the victim story.
Thank you for posting this... what a lot of people don’t know is how many regular black people from Baltimore stood in front of the BPD to guard them from the outsiders. Rows of them. There were many who wanted the media gone simply because they felt they were trying to start trouble. They wanted their city back to normal. As for her lipstick... not my first choice but hey... a lot of people don’t like my regular shade of mauve. :)
