PC speak VS telling the truth

[VatorMan]

This park is located in PG county. A predominantly Black area next to DC. However, Six Flags just said "Revamping it Portfolio" instead of: Damn we were stupid for building this in the middle of a war zone."

Saying the truth on some issues is very heavily discouraged many times!

Large swaths of Maryland have gone to crap. When we lived in DC in the late 90's we would spend some pleasant Saturdays shopping and eating in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. I wouldn't be caught there at noon on Easter Sunday now.

Frankie,
Same experience. Our crew hotel is across the street from the Inner Harbor, sad how people mess things up.

Such a great area-they have heavy patrol and curfew because of the proximity of PG county. Don't even think about going to MGM parking lot after dark.

There’s a difference between being factual versus calling people apes, feral and making references to zoos (for example).

Quite frankly, I’m getting tired of having to point this out to grown adults. I’m also getting a little bit tired of the threads that are clearly only being posted to race bait members here… And the same members always seem to take the bait. Every. Single. Time.

We don’t ask for a lot. In fact, we ask for very little from the members here. I find it disheartening and disrespectful that the few things that we ask, can’t be followed. Is it too much to ask people not to post racist comments? Is that really an unreasonable ask?

We have a small little corner on the Internet over here. It’s pretty unknown and relatively obscure. We get along for the most part and we don’t draw attention to our ourselves. I’d rather not start becoming known as the racist forum that may start drawing attention from people we may or may not want over here.

It has to stop.

So glad I moved out of Maryland in '98; they had some of the most stringent gun laws I've ever lived under...prob still do...and let's not forget the county 'piggyback' income tax on TOP of state and Federal tax.

There was a Little Italy section not far from Inner Harbor. Used to like to eat at a restaurant there after touring the Aquarium. Italian place called the Lion's something. Great food. Wouldn't try it now without a military escort.

I agree with you, I live here, and pointing out those who do the majority of violence in MD are of a certain demographic is not racist, it is fact.

Name calling is racist. Pointing out behavior is not.

I am grateful that I live in So. MD.

Thanks for this. I was going to respond but wouldn’t have been as eloquent as you.

A little tact lets you call a spade a spade without upsetting the spade.
