Calling President Trump racist, trash or any harsh name you can muster doesn’t excuse Baltimore elected officials of their failed leadership that has allowed exasperating crime, making it one of the most dangerous cities in America, and one of the worst education systems. Large sections of what could be a beautiful town are overrun by vacancy and decay.
Playing the race card is losing its luster. It loses its potency when the entire city has been run by largely black leadership for decades while problems have festered. Trump did not preside over the destruction of Baltimore and the failure of its residents. If he had, could you even imagine the righteous indignation and shrill screams about the deplorable conditions in Baltimore you’d hear from the left? But because the city is run by liberal Democrats, it’s almost like the offense to black residents of having to live amidst such a mess goes unmentioned.
What’s more racist: the president’s harsh remarks, or the decades of harsh actions (and inaction) of the liberal leadership that have failed the people of Baltimore? You can’t play the race card to excuse what the citizens of Baltimore witness daily.
