Third, crime in west Baltimore is the only growth industry, if you don’t count the rats and roaches. Taking the trash out on Fridays was an adventure. You’d drag your bag to the alley and toss it a few feet away from the pile, you didn’t want to be too close in case you didn’t beat one of the cat-sized sewer rats to the trash. Most of the time you did, but you always remembered the times you didn’t. It only takes one time that a giant sewer rat runs out of a pile of trash bags you’re standing next to for it to inform how you act thereafter.
The city has a huge rat problem. It’s so bad, one of the most popular bumper stickers in the city has a silhouette of a rat with “Balt” written on it and “Charm City, USA,” ironically under it. Rats don’t thrive in clean areas. And neither does hope.
Baltimore city schools are a disgrace. They’re near the top in spending and near the bottom in results. The schools have “misplaced” tens of millions of dollars, no one in city government seems to care or is ever held accountable. Graduation rates hover around 50 percent, literacy rates below that. There hasn’t been a Republican elected in the city in over 50 years and two of the last three mayors resigned amid scandals.
The murder rate in the city is astronomical. In terms of raw numbers, there have been more murders in the city in the past, but during those years the city had hundreds of thousands of more people living in it. Per capita shows just how dangerous Baltimore is. New York City, with a population of more than 8 and a half million, has fewer murders per year than Baltimore, with a population of just over 600,000.
By crying “racism” over the president’s criticisms of Cummings’s district, none of this gets discussed. Which is why the media is doing it.
Liberals do not want to discuss liberal failures, so they cry racism.
