[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The good thing is that people are FINALLY talking about the horrendous conditions in parts of Baltimore.  It has taken way too long.

I'm not always a fan of the way Trump phrases his tweets, but it did get the attention of the country.  Maybe this will force those in charge to make some changes.  And Baltimore is not alone - there are far too many "once great cities" that have had portions turn into dumps because the inaction of politicians in charge - Chicago, San Francisco, LA.........

I was totally appalled at the way Elijah Cummings treated Keven McAleenan at the hearing last week.  He was incredibly disrespectful and hateful toward him - and it was he and members of his party who refused to admit that there was a crisis at the border months ago when others were sounding the alarm.  I don't think Cummings is racist or a bad person, but his treatment of McAleenan was unacceptable.  He needed to be called out for it.  [/quote]

He can be called out without saying the residents of Baltimore are subhuman.[/quote]

Nobody said the residents of Baltimore are subhuman.  [/quote]

Actually, they did.  Stop lying.[/quote]

Please post exactly what was said.  TIA.[/quote]

DP, but this is a dog whistle. Words and phrases are being used without explicitly using the N-word, but it is what is implied by the specific words and phrases. If you want to take the conversation as literal - rat infestation in Baltimore, that is your choice, but the racists know what the President meant, and many of us know what he meant as well.[/quote]

That is such Bull$hit.  There ARE areas in Baltimore that ARE rat infested.  Even the residents there will tell you that.  
Quit trying to see race in every damned comment.  We know you all are big on identity politics, but not everybody sees race in every issue.  [/quote]

There wasn't anything racist about what he said. Seems to be quite true.
