So last night I pissed off a LOT of people when I said the "afraid to go to Camden Yards/Baltimore" is racially based. Well, for those of you who think I'm wrong but are willing to read facts I have some links for you: x/1

Maybe read the thread/citations & the original post from the day before. I'm arguing that people crying about crime keeping them from games or as a reason to move the team to the burbs are the fuckwits. I'm disabled but go to as many games as I can when medically cleared.

That is pretty much the argument I'm making if you read through the citations I provided.

You don’t know nothing about this. They can rob you or steal cars when the game is over

Born & raised in Pigtown (east side), lived in Belair-Edison (west side) for over 25 years. You don't get to tell me I don't know.
Now, tell me who "they" are. I'll wait.

The second I saw someone say “should move to hunt valley” I knew what this was about 😂😂

Much of this sentiment from these folks who are scared to go downtown is the fault of Fox News, newsmax, etc.

I’ve been increasing; not decreasing my presence at Camden yards in the past few years. The crime enters my mind, but no more so than it ever has, really (or that it does in any other city, for that matter). Stay in public places, stay alert, don’t look for trouble. It’s not hard

But when someone is a victim of crime where the predator chose them because of their race, then what? Act like it never happened?
