That there tells you that Baltimore is a city with heart.

And a city with John Waters. Gotta love that.

Same. I love Baltimore. We live in DC (only 10 minutes from our offices), but really love Baltimore. We are there 6-8x per year for cultural events, catching a game, or just having a nice day eating & drinking in Fells.

You know what Baltimore has? History. An identity. Personality galore. Walking through the old row house neighborhoods, you feel like you've gone back 200+ years in history. The entire city is a living museum to America.

Anyways, Trump and his supporters would never know that. They are too snooty and elitist to ever set foot in Baltimore.

I’ve actually been to Baltimore quite a bit. To the kids museums, the Inner Harbor, concerts.

I applied for a job there and was told by my Baltimore dwelling co-worker (who travels OUT of Baltimore to work), to NOT accept the job. She said the neighborhood was that bad. Even for her.

One time we took the kids to the Thomas the Train ride with some (very liberal) friends. We decided to walk around to find something to eat. After about 5 minutes of walking it became very clear we were not in a good area. Even my friends were like “let’s walk faster, people!”


So no, I’m not too elite to visit Baltimore. But you (clearly) couldn’t pay me to work there. Or live there, for that matter.

And is your response to this to say: let's now make life even worse for the people who were born here and can't leave? Or is your response to say: What can we do to make things better so even kids born in someplace that I feel unsafe in, will have clean air and water, a good education, a safe place to life, and real opportunities in their lives.

Do you call them subhumans, rats, cockroaches, who deserve your scorn and contempt? Or do you say - these are people who we should try to help?

My response is that unless we change the culture of these communities - pregnancy at 14 is not a goal, living off the government dole is not a lifestyle, gangs are BAD, not GOOD, and education is of utmost importance, to name a few - we cannot even begin to help them. But as I said earlier, I have no clue how to do this.

Buddy what came first: multi-generational poverty or your utter lack of empathy for your fellow American? It's the quintessential chicken-egg dilemma.

Here's why people hated what Trump said: he's a bully who is kicking poor people who were already knocked down. You know what real Americans say to wealthy, inherited bullies?

So you really honestly think that better schools, more public assistance and a higher minimum wage, to name a few, are really going to help these communities?

I know you like to think of it as my utter lack of empathy, and if that makes you feel good then go right ahead. But I have a very valid point. Ignoring it isn’t going to help anyone.

What’s your point, again? That you think most of those in poorer Baltimore neighborhoods aren’t taking family seriously? You have not ariculated one single point. Read your own blather.

Um yes it is a Balitmore problem. Crime has gone up, poverty has gone up, drugs have gone up, the government is corrupt, but ultimately it comes down to people. Do they want a better life for themselves. Then start making constructive choices.

Is this your advice to opioid addicted Appalachia?

And yet you praise a bully for denigrating folks in Baltimore.

So yeah, you don't strike me as a good Christian or even as a person who is honestly seeking answers to help solve the problems of Baltimore - aka your FELLOW AMERICANS.

Again, it's easier to kick down others instead of offering a hand up.

I never praised Trump. Not sure where you’re getting that from.

I also never said I didn’t want to help. What I stated in my PP is where I think we need to start. You just don’t like my take on how to make things better. And somehow now I’m not a good Christian, and worse, I don’t care about my fellow Americans.

Glad you’re just hurling insults and literally making stuff up because you disagree with me. Do you even hear yourself?

Stop making excuses for his line of argument. It's pathetic.

Baltimore has plenty of safe and not safe areas. Like every major American city. Have you been to Brownsville in Brooklyn? What about rougher parts of Houston, Los Angeles, Nashville, or Miami?

This is endemic to American cities. Where I am disgusted with you is that you try to support the canard that this is a "Baltimore problem" when it simply is not.

"You just don’t like my take on how to make things better." - Newsflash: you've offered NOTHING to make things better, other than insults to our intelligence. What do you propose that is revolutionary, oh wise one?

I’ve actually been to Baltimore quite a bit. To the kids museums, the Inner Harbor, concerts.

I applied for a job there and was told by my Baltimore dwelling co-worker (who travels OUT of Baltimore to work), to NOT accept the job. She said the neighborhood was that bad. Even for her.

One time we took the kids to the Thomas the Train ride with some (very liberal) friends. We decided to walk around to find something to eat. After about 5 minutes of walking it became very clear we were not in a good area. Even my friends were like “let’s walk faster, people!”


So no, I’m not too elite to visit Baltimore. But you (clearly) couldn’t pay me to work there. Or live there, for that matter.

And is your response to this to say: let's now make life even worse for the people who were born here and can't leave? Or is your response to say: What can we do to make things better so even kids born in someplace that I feel unsafe in, will have clean air and water, a good education, a safe place to life, and real opportunities in their lives.

Do you call them subhumans, rats, cockroaches, who deserve your scorn and contempt? Or do you say - these are people who we should try to help?

My response is that unless we change the culture of these communities - pregnancy at 14 is not a goal, living off the government dole is not a lifestyle, gangs are BAD, not GOOD, and education is of utmost importance, to name a few - we cannot even begin to help them. But as I said earlier, I have no clue how to do this.

That there tells you that Baltimore is a city with heart.

And a city with John Waters. Gotta love that.

Same. I love Baltimore. We live in DC (only 10 minutes from our offices), but really love Baltimore. We are there 6-8x per year for cultural events, catching a game, or just having a nice day eating & drinking in Fells.

You know what Baltimore has? History. An identity. Personality galore. Walking through the old row house neighborhoods, you feel like you've gone back 200+ years in history. The entire city is a living museum to America.

Anyways, Trump and his supporters would never know that. They are too snooty and elitist to ever set foot in Baltimore.

Do you stroll through the more dangerous neighborhoods? Just curious
