Sept. 12 2018 - Baltimore Sun quotes Mayor Pugh

In the footage, Pugh tours an area of vacant houses with city leaders and says: “What the hell? We should just take all this [expletive] down.”
And then:“Whoa, you can smell the rats.”

That is not Racist.

April 2019 - Baltimore Sun Editorial says

Yet, here we are again in a mess of a city. Food containers, balled up clothes, paper, banana peels, plastic bags and tons of other pieces of litter line the shoulders of roads, pile up in alleys and are strewn across fields and yards. Not only is it unsightly and contributes to a rodent problem, but it can create a glum and gloomy feel

That is not Racist

Somehow when Trump points it out, the same Baltimore Sun calls him Racist?

Now, for a more enlightened perspective:

Just want to highlight this again because aside form one or two comments, it seems like no one wants to address this.
Why was there no uproar when Bernie said this? Perhaps because it’s true?

Because he wasn't mean and insulting about it the way Trump was. You know that's why. Bernie never said no human being would want to live there.

Geeze, the more I think about it, the more I realize that if you support Trump and think there's nothing wrong with what he does, then you're a racist POS just like he is.

Calling a US city a third world country is NOT mean and insulting? What kind of mental gymnastics are necessary to come to that conclusion?

On #NationalDanceDay, I'm shouting out the Lethal Ladies, a Baltimore STEP team who I saw perform back in 2017. I’m so proud of you all—and everyone who’s dancing today!

Ok

So apparently the girls can step on the rats, killing them during their performances.

really? Instead of addressing the issue - people living in squalor - she gives a shout out to a step team.

She apparently likes to "dance" around the topic.

Give me a break.

Do those girls live in squalor? How do you know? Do you think there is nothing good in Baltimore? Nothing at all?

When is slumlord Jared going to fix his decrepit properties?

LOL! Talk about jumping to conclusions

WHERE DID I SAY THEY LIVED IN SQUALOR?

I said that MO preferred to DANCE around the issue rather than to address it.

Yes, I know Baltimore. It has some very poor and very dangerous areas. doubtful the snowflakes posting would spend an evening walking some of the streets in parts of Baltimore!

love the way you refuse to address the issue, too - choosing instead to attack me

DP. I also love the way you refuse to address the issue, too - choosing instead to attack Michelle Obama and the dancers. What a noble person you are.

I sincerely hope we don't fall into his trap. The damage from the election campaign is going to be long lasting if we do.

yeah I've been saying this since day one. Trumps power is from people paying attention to him you beat a bully by ignoring him not reacting to every single thing they do

by the way this goes for the squad as well. All 5 of them get way too much attention.

what do you suggest we do when the actual president of the united states is running roughshod over every norm we have in his quest to be the most powerful force of evil in this world?

that's a genuine question. quite literally i would be thrilled to never ever ever ever have to listen to a thing donald trump does or says ever again - i long for the day he is gone, just gone, out of power. i never watched the apprentice. i tried to ignore his racist birther campaign. i thought he was a joke of a candidate. but now he's president - the things he does affect people. how do we react?

Watch the clip at the beginning of the thread. Trump only uses infestation to talk about black and brown people and the places they live. Trump is a racist.

So what?

So, by Trump's logic, Mitch McConnell should focus only on fixing Kentucky and not involve himself with anything else in the country. By the Trump standard, only Members of Congress who represent rich prosperous districts have the right to speak about national policy, except that he also tells those from wealthy districts to shut up about national policy if they disagree with him. He is a racist demogogue, but beyond that, he is a wannabe fascist.

What a powerful statement!

Really, so because Trump has a problem with Baltimore, Obama should abandon all his plans and set up shop on Baltimore? Why doesn't Trump? Y'all are some racist a-holes.

Geez! No kidding! I love how the right thinks that Trump should never be held accountable for his actions, but Obama should go above and beyond to prove that he doesn’t feel the same way. Un.freaking.believable.
